DQ sent me here to pipe in. The physical attributes that DQ describes are very important. Also, keep those fingernails clean and trim. I tend to check out shoes and hands - not sure why, but I always have.
A very important trait is to know what you want. Nice Guys tend to leave everything up to the girl (where to go to eat, what movie to see, etc.) We want YOU to lead. Pick the place and the time, let her know. Let her stand up and object if she doesn't like something. Otherwise, she'll love that you're in charge and confident in your decisions.
