What should you avoid talking about on a first date ?

Sooo many things. I've been on a blind date where the person I was dating talked about how much he hates yappy little dogs, hates his ex, and hates all women who are Leos. I had a yappy little dog at the time, and I AM a Leo. He also agreed to meet me at a local seafood restaurant, and then told me that he HATES seafood! 🤣🤣🤣

I would say, based on experience, that you should not talk about the fact that you have been in prison, should not mention that you live at home with your parents, should not mention that you've had your driver's license revoked for drunk driving, and you should definitely not sing your date the song you composed about your Corrections Officer's predeliction for homosexual sex.

I would encourage people, (also based on experience), not to describe the sexual devices they must use in order to have normal sex because of ED.

Only if you plan never to see your date again, should you discuss how much you don't like her hair...and you should never say things like, "What's going on with your chin?"

And all this, without even mentioning politics and religion, which are also burn topics.

@4meAndyou The reasons I didn’t date for a few years after divorce.

@4meAndyou Comprehensive answer! :)
The only blind date I went on was a disaster as we were almost in total silence, lol

@jackson55 It's really good to get it all out of your system before subjecting someone else to your old grievances. 😉

@4meAndyou Very true.

@4meAndyou Why bore a date with crap from the past ?

@jackson55 I think some people are just out of control. They are ready to explode for lack of venting, and lack of resolution, and almost any captive audience will do.

@4meAndyou You are most likely right. Not something I tend to do. Especially on a first date.
