Conversation Topics To Avoid On A First Date
This is another blog post in a series of guest posts. Our guest blogger, Carly Spindel of Carly's Dating Chronicles, is on a mission to change people’s perspectives of the dating game.
The Ex Files
When your date asks you out, he wants to know all about you. He doesn’t want to hear about your ex’s. Yes, they are a part of who you are. But you don’t need to speak about them on a date. How would you feel if you went on a date with a guy who talked about all of his ex’s? I know I wouldn’t want to go out with him again!
Money
Money is something that should never be brought up on a first date or in the beginning of the relationship. Asking a man how much money he makes is sure to scare him away. Likewise, talking about your salary isn’t a good idea either. Money is a bit of an awkward subject, so it’s wise to avoid it completely.
The Future
Women are future thinkers. We love to plan and talk about what’s going to happen in years to come. I know I love to daydream about where I’m going to live when I move in with my non-existent boyfriend. But I don’t share that with the people that I’m dating. I keep my future thinking to myself, and you should too. Future planning is something that men, not women, should bring up.
Marriage And Children
Most women love the idea of marriage. They can’t wait to get married and start a family. It’s a known fact because it’s how we were programmed. However, there are very few men that wake up each day and tell someone how excited they are to get married and have children. Marriage and having children are two steps that men take, when they feel the time is right. Talking about such things on a first date is likely make a man run in the other direction.
