Do you remember the first time you’ve taken someone out on a date? I can already sense you blush because, I bet most of you screwed up on your first date. Well, there’s really no reason crying (or kicking yourself) over spilt milk. What’s done is done, and you can look at it as a life lesson. I’m sure the next ones you’ve gone to have improved because you’ve learned how to avoid first date mistakes.
If you think back and was given the chance to correct the wrong things you’ve done on your first date, what would you do differently? I’ve compiled a list of the worst first date mistakes that you must avoid at all times. These are things that would really turn off the woman you like and make you look like a total jerk.
So let’s begin…
1. Not asking your date for suggestions
When you are unsure of what to do on your first date, and you really like the woman you’d do anything to impress her, don’t make assumptions. Even though you’ve planned on the coolest yacht trip or booked a reservation at the most posh restaurant, there is always a chance that your date would rather do something else.
Ask for suggestions. It wouldn’t hurt you. The last thing you want is to see her not interested at all in what you’re doing and then eventually finding out that what she really wanted was something very simple.
2. Being too opinionated on personal issues
If your date is a vegetarian or is a staunch believer of something—be it a political view or religion, never, ever express strong opinions against it. I’m not saying you should shut your mouth and agree to everything she says but, it’s your first date, for crying out loud! Keep your opinion to yourself. There’s plenty of time to explain what you feel and argue about it. It’s just not during the first date. Remember, respect should always be practiced.
3. Wandering hands
Taking her out to a movie? Keep your hands to yourself. Don’t put it around her shoulders or on her lap. You might get slapped.
4. Talking about technical stuff
If your work is fixing computers, or programming, or anything that is too technical and not familiar with a lot of people, don’t talk about it extensively during your date. It’s alright to mention to your date what you do for a living and explain it briefly, but don’t go into details because your date will not be able to relate (unless she’s in that field too) and get bored.
5. Splitting the bill
Never, ever, make her pay half of the bill. It’s very un-gentlemanly.
6. Dating someone when you’ve just broken up with your ex is probably the worst first date mistake
Asking someone out when you’ve been through a break up recently is unfair to the girl. This is because there is a high possibility that you will not be able to concentrate on your date but on your heartbreak. You may end up talking about your ex rather than getting to know your date.
If you are guilty of a few–or worse, all–of these mistakes, then you seriously need help, my friend. Be cool and avoid first date mistakes.
