My wife is Dutch (from Heemskerk) and I am Texan. We had a long distance relationship for 3 years. During that time we saw each other 3 times. On the third time we got marred. That was 16 years ago. I'm not sure why I tell you this. I suppose because we have some things in common.
I lived in Amsterdam for a year, and I've visited there more times than I can count. As a matter of fact, I just got back from Holland two weeks ago, and a spent a few fun days in Amsterdam. Amsterdam is a wonderful city for just walking and exploring. If you like people watching, its the best. Albert Kuyp Market is a fun place. The Vondelpark is a good place to spend some romantic time. Weather permitting, take a blanket and have a picnic. It might be fun to rent a canal bike for a few hours. Do you know where you will be staying? A particular hotel?
I've also spent some time in Paris, but I am not nearly as familiar as with Amsterdam. Paris is also a great city for just walking and exploring. One of my favorite museums there is the Rodin museum. There's a marvelous scupture garden there.
I hope some of this is helpful. As for the rest, just try to relax. Don't feel like you are obligated to have sex. Tell her you are nervous and just be honest and be yourself. You will do great, and I hope you will come back here and give TPF a full report.
Cheers.
