I need tips & advice for long distance relationship & first date, please?

[NeNe]

Im 21 years old and going on my first date with my childhood crush that i use to run around the house with!! =) We liked each other for years but didnt know if we both felt the same way. & we were always scared to approach each other when we got older. We would just smile & say hi haha. But after 11 YEARS! We finally opened up and told our little secret crush that we've been having for eachother. Sad part is he lives in Canada and I live in California. He's coming beginning of March to come see me!! Im so happy yet nervous!! We'll be on our first date! but another sad part is my family doesnt know yet. I want to tell them at the right time. not right now. So that means we have to be sneaky about it. But other then that,,, ANY tips and advice for this first date?? what to wear? Should i give him a small gift? if so, what should i give? Is it appropriate to give him a kiss on the lips on the first date? or should i wait till he makes his next few trips to California? One last question, i really want this relationship to work out but this is my first time ever being in a long distance relationship. ANY tips and advice on how to keep our relationship healthy and have it go on for a long term?

This is my first time. any help will be much appreciated with all my heart. God Bless you all <3
