Topics that guys DON’T want to hear about on first dates
If you’re wondering why you’ve been going on a load of first dates but none of them have progressed to a second date then maybe we need to think about the conversation that’s going on.
There are certain things that guys just don’t want to hear when they’re on a first date with you. And we’ve got the skinny from our best male friends to find out what those triggers are…
Your EX! You already know this. We know how hard it can be to not bring your ex up, especially if it was a long relationship or ended recently. But even if you’re asked “how long have you been single” just answer and move on, no need to give the guy a full run down of your past relationships and their outcomes.
Leave the designers at home. You may love your Dior handbag and your Christian Louboutin’s but they scream high maintenance. Try to tone it down a bit and keep shopping talk to a minimum.
Try not to be anti-men. Even if you’re joking. When you’re on a first date, they don’t need to be (reminded) told how useless they are. Or have a lecture about women’s rights. So just try to hold that back until at least the forth or fifth date.
Don’t play the have you ever game. Have you ever cheated, have you ever slept with your boss…etc. Just don’t. It’s not a therapy session and it’ll probably throw up some answers that you just don’t want to know.
Don’t bore them with complaints. Driver cut you up on the way? Maybe you received shocking service in the supermarket. Truth is, your date doesn’t care. Keep complaints to yourself.
But before you think, what are we supposed to talk about, stick to your hobbies, stories of your adventures and what makes you happy.
