First dates are riddled with nervousness, anxiety, hope and tingling sensations of a could-be romance in the making. It’s natural to get befuddled and blabber anything or remain quiet throughout. However, some men take the experience too casually and how much ever charming they think they may be, there are some topics which if broached on the first date, could get them crossed off a girl’s list.
1. Ex girlfriends
If you are the kind of man who has had his fair share of experiences with women, you would be aware of the fact that women love it when they are getting all the attention. Obviously, on a first date with her, she would expect you to concentrate on her and not your ex. Answer about exes as and when asked by the lady, otherwise it’s better to stay off the topic.
2. Dirty talks
You must be used to talking dirty with your ex or cracking sexist and double entendre jokes, but it would make your date run in the opposite direction if you indulge in such talks with her in the very first meeting. Talking about sex and related topics is a strict no-no unless initiated by the girl.
3. Religion
Religion touches us all in some way or the other. More often than not, people disagree with each other over this sensitive issue. Steer clear from religious talks for you never know when you could end up with a fuming debate right on your first date.
4. Marriage
Don’t come across as clingy, needy and desperate by talking about marriage. It is a serious issue and talking about taking the plunge should be reserved for when and if you both happen to fall in love. Keep the date casual and easygoing without discussing heavy topics like these.
5. All of your achievements
Don’t boast or brag about your achievements in life. How much ever you may have achieved, let them get revealed slowly over a period of time so that your date doesn’t feel intimidated by you. Women don’t like braggarts. Keep the conversation centered around her life and achievements.
6. Finances
Money is another heavy and touchy topic on first dates. Spending, earning and investing money are very personal things. If you share these details, there are bound to be opinions and comments about them. Some of them are then bound to rile you and make you or her defensive. Hence it’s wise to stay away from this topic.
7. Boyish hobbies
If she asks you regarding your hobbies, you can devote a minute or two talking about them. But do not go overboard in professing your love for video games, biking, driving and other such manly hobbies that are likely to bore her. Keep it concise and move on to another topic, especially if you see her trying to stifle a yawn.
