Things to Avoid on a Date

By now you know all the things you should do on a date, be polite, be yourself, smile... but it’s the things that we shouldn’t do that are sometimes overlooked. Avoid these things and increase your chances of getting that second date.

Don’t talk about past relationships. If you feel that you must, make sure you let them know that you are happy that you have moved on and are not still longing for this person. Never bash your ex for any reason.

Don’t skip out on the tip. If you show respect for your server and the job they performed, your date will respect you. This doesn’t mean you have to leave them 50% of the bill but a standard 15% - 20% is perfect.

Don’t order more than two alcoholic drinks. It’s better not to drink at all on a first date but if you do make sure you keep the amount to two drinks. You don’t want to get drunk. It’s not impressive to your date. And most importantly you shouldn’t drink if you will be driving yourself and or your date home.

Don’t confess feelings of love on the first date. You will appear needy and have your date looking for the exit before the second course.

Don’t discuss personal problems such as family, money, or health issues. Remember this is a date not a therapy session.

Don’t act desperate. You never want to admit this is the first date you’ve had in years. Keep it fun and get to know each other. Never talk about your future relationship.

Don’t discuss anything negative. This includes world events. Keep things light. If you aren’t sure what to talk about see getting to know your date.

Don’t leave your date to go talk to friends. It’s just rude. Instead if you run into buddies, introduce them to your date and then politely have them move on.

Don’t offer advice if your date does talk about personal problems. Instead try to guide the conversation back to a more pleasant subject.

Don’t take medication in front of your date. Yes this includes aspirin. Excuse yourself to the restroom.

Ladies, don’t reapply make-up at the dinner table. It’s not cute; in fact, it’s rude. Again, excuse yourself to the restroom.

Don’t brag. You should be asking your date about their interests. If they ask about yours keep your responses modest.

To put it bluntly, don’t be gross. Guys, avoid picking, scratching, nose blowing or adjusting in front of you date.

Finally, don’t make up "facts" about yourself to appear impressive. Sooner or later the truth will come out and ruin any chances of a future with your date.
