Had my first date with a girl I already knew relatively well. The date went okay plenty of conversation / got to know her a bit better but it just felt like I was having dinner with a good friend and not a date.

I'm still interested in her and would like to see her again to see where this goes. Whats the best way to approach this? Be honest and address the fact that the date just felt like I was catching up with a friend (pretty sure she had the same feeling) or just treat it like any normal first date?

If we do go out again how do I turn it from being a "catch up with friends" to a "date"?
