Are You Kidding Me?

Going on a date with someone new can be nerve-racking. Sometimes we blurt things out we shouldn’t, and other times we don’t say anything at all! Here are 6 things you should never say on a date.

1. Don’t ask them what type of music they are into. I think this is a generic question and one that doesn’t really matter on the first date. I mean, let’s say you are into rap and they are into country music, and you hate country music. Are you really going to not go out with him again because of this? Of course not. So who cares about it when you are on a date? Asking about their music preferences is just filler conversation and there are many other interesting things you can talk about.

2. Don’t talk about what church you would get married in if you two marry. I seriously had a friend that did this to a guy. Needless to say, he got freaked out and never called her. And the sad thing is, he had a fun time on the date so I think there could have really been something there. Don’t plan your future on the first date.

3. Don’t not talk. Yes, I just used a double negative there, but this is an important point. Don’t clam up. What is there to be nervous about? Chances are your date is just as nervous as you are, so that should make you feel a little better, right? Keep the conversation flowing and you will most likely find yourself on a second date with that person.

4. Don’t ask them if they are a player. Seriously, why do people ask that question? Isn’t it obvious that if they are a player they aren’t going to admit it? First dates are all about good impressions, so of course that person is going to lie to you. Don’t even let this stupid question out of your mouth.

5. Don’t ask them if they have any f*ck buddies. Again, they aren’t going to admit that to you. This is another time of potentially inserting your foot in your mouth if you spout off questions like that. Those questions can come later on down the road when you find yourself only getting booty calls.

6. Don’t tell them your deep dark secrets. Many people like to reveal too much, too soon. We all want to tell the other person about ourselves, but there are just some things you should keep to yourself. Let’s say it doesn’t work out after a few dates, do you really want them blabbing your secrets all over town? Because they probably will. So let’s keep your diary closed, okay?

Hopefully you haven’t really done any of these, because I know people that have. Just have a fun time, relax and be yourself on your date.
