10 Things Not To Do On A First Date … :)

October 8th, 2008 Posted in Love & Romance

Make your first date 100 percent succesfull…


10. Stay away from choosing places like the movies or a club for a first date. You want to be able to talk to the person so that you can get to know him or her.

9. Don?t take your date to places that you have frequented with other dates or friends. You don?t want to risk running into any of them and having your night disrupted. You?d be surprised at how much this actually happens. Exes are notorious for doing things like this on purpose. Friends tend to just want to speak but then overstay their welcome.

8. Make sure that you don?t talk too much. Some people get so caught up in talking about their own lives that they seem uninterested in that of their date. A very attractive quality in a person is being a good listener. How can you listen if you never shut your big mouth?

7. Don?t name drop. This is one of the most annoying things you can do. Constantly talking about whom you know shows that you need your relationship with big names to build yourself up. It?s as if you feel that those acquaintances make you more attractive when usually it?s doing quite the opposite.

6. If you go out for drinks, don?t go overboard. I would suggest no more than two drinks and drink water to ease the effects. Order mixed drinks so that there is less alcohol and you reduce the chances of having that alcohol smell on your breath. That?s a big turn off. Never try new drinks on the first date unless you make sure you know the ingredients. I?m a 6?3 , 200 lb male and I can?t function after two Long Island Ice Teas.

5. Don?t go on and on talking about your ex because making comments about your ex whether negative or positive can put a damper on your night out. Reminiscing about past relationships can make your date feel that there are unresolved feelings if comments are positive or it can make you seem bitter if the comments are negative.

4. Sex is not a good topic when you?re getting to know someone initially. Some people are very open about their sexual needs and desires and others feel that it?s better left unsaid because of the seriousness of entering into a sexual relationship with someone. Exposing too much in the beginning may make you look like the freak that you are. LOL. If your date happens to bring up sex, keep your comments very innocent. For example, say that you like to have some wine before and romantic music during. Don?t talk about how you want your salad tossed.

3. Answering your cellphone constantly is a big no no. Leave that Bluetooth earpiece at home. If you have a call that is an emergency, let your date know that you need to answer and make sure to apologize. If possible, take the call in front of your date to keep from seeming like you?re hiding something.

<br />

2. Never brag about your financial situation. Confidence is an attractive trait but bragging is a negative. It makes a person seem very shallow. It?s as if you feel that your finances make you a better person than those that don?t earn on your level.

1. Don?t go on and on talking about your ex because making comments about your ex whether negative or positive can put a damper on your night out. Reminiscing about past relationships can make your date feel that there are unresolved feelings if comments are positive or it can make you seem bitter if the comments are negative.
