Alright ladies, you’re out on a date with the man of your dreams and of course you’re talking to talk. Here’s a list of seven things you MUST avoid discussing on a first date.
1. Avoid talking about Exes — his, yours, simply avoid the subject altogether. You can talk about this when you get to know him a little better, buy your first date is not it. It is much too serious a topic on a first date.
2. Leave religion alone for now. This is a very important topic that must be discussed later if you are going to get serious with this man.
3. Politics, like religion, can be a serious subject that is best be avoided on the first date, especially if you have radically differing views. When you get to know each other more it becomes easier for you to understand each others point of view.
4. Do not tell him about your crazy relatives on your first date. If you have some family members that are a bit less than reputable, you might not want to mention them.
5. Avoid talking about any criminal past you might have. Maybe you stalked your ex, but if you tell him that on the first date, he probably won’t call you again. Don’t lie about it, but don’t bring it up, either. Save that for the third or fourth date.
6. Avoid talking about any future plans that involve him. It is your first date with him. You don’t want to sound desperate or get ahead of yourself. Don’t talk about settling down, finding that perfect house or having children with him or any guy at this time.
7. Finally, do not discuss things you know he is not at all interested in. He probably does not care about the latest book club pick is, so don’t bore him with details about it. Try to stick to subjects that the two of you have in common.
