First Date Tips: 4 Things You Should Never Talk About
4 things you should never talk about
Past Relationships
Sex Stories
Having Babies
Political /Religious Views
Some of the most important topics to stay away from on a first date or second.
Past relationships
Have you ever heard someone talk about an ex? Their likes and dislikes. “Oh… my ex boyfriend liked strawberries too or he likes his steak rare as well…yeah…we loved laying around on Saturday nights watching scary movies and eating popcorn.”
Also, don’t talk about how horrible your ex was and all the fights that you got into. Or how his mom and you still go on shopping trips together.
Some people go through a list of the people they’ve dated in the past. Or even do a little name-dropping i.e. “Yes the last person I dated was a lawyer, doctor, developer.”
I lived in Los Angeles for 10 years and the name-dropping you hear there is really entertaining!! They try and make it a little less inconspicuous by only using the celebrity’s first name.
“You know when I dated Leonardo or I met Mark or Jack and he asked for my number”
This is one of the most insecure things a person can do and it makes your date intimidated and probably think that you’re an ass.
Sexual Stories
Don’t start talking about how great sex was with your ex ever, or all your favorite sexual positions on a first date. “My ex and I would have sex every morning and every night before bed. He could go for hours.” Save talking about sex positions until you’re in a relationship. If you talk about sex too soon it’s sure fire way to turn you date into a booty call.
Having Babies
Don’t ask your date how many kids he wants to have or go into how big a family you’ve always dreamed of “You know I’ve always dreamed of having a big family. I’d love to have two girls and two boys. Of course we can always have more if you like”
Political / Religious Views
Don’t ask your date his political views on a first date. This should be saved for waaaaayyy down the line. Political views are even a sore subject with close friends and family. I’ve seen wine glasses thrown and couples storming out of restaurants. If you’ve ever been to the Four Seasons Restaurant in NYC I saw someone get thrown into the center pool over a political argument. This goes for religion as well. Though religion doesn’t tend to get as heated as politics, people are still very opinionated.
Not good subjects for first dates.
(Limit your drinking to no more than 2 drinks. If you become too tipsy you may fall into the trap of talking about the 4 worst topics!)
