Here are some tips on what to avoid on the date:
1. trust personal information
Trusting someone doesn't mean confessing your secrets to them. If you're on a first date, avoid opening up too much and prefer to talk about lighter topics. As you get to know each other better, the dialogue will become more natural and you will be more comfortable starting deeper conversations.
2. Check social media
No need to be resentful about taking a slight ‘stalke’ on your date’s social media. After all, if you had met online, you would already know a lot of personal information about each other. However, avoid messing with your cell phone in front of him/her and enjoy the moment as much as possible. No one deserves to be ignored on a date.
3. Talking about old relationships
Sharing experiences about a past relationship is a bad first date strategy. Take into account that for him (a) it can be very unpleasant to know about your past with another (a).
So rule out the option of discussing the details of your last breakup. Instead, learn from the past and use your experiences to make your current relationship better than the last.
4. talk about marriage
There are those who expect a relationship that will lead to marriage from the first date, don't be that type! Don't let on that you're looking for a serious relationship, that might scare some people away.
If you still don't have intimacy to discuss the future, creating expectations of a marriage can bring great disappointments. Therefore, prefer to talk about more superficial subjects.
5. value the ego
Avoid talking only about your life! For the other, it is usually quite boring and tiring to listen and not be open to communicate.
Keep in mind that no one likes to talk to someone who keeps bragging. If your goal is to receive compliments, wait for the right moment, they will come naturally.
