On your first date, don’t even think about getting him to talk about his past relationships with other women. Most men tend to discuss ex-girlfriends and ex-wives after you win their trust and start to feel comfortable around you. So, give him time so that he opens up whenever he thinks right.
10. Telling him about your past relationships
Unless he asks (most guys probably wouldn’t on the first date), don’t bring up your past relationships. A first date is the start of something new, not the occasion to bring out any skeletons from your closet. It will be unpleasant for both of you to talk about disappointments from the past.
11. Expressing negativity or insecurities on the first date
Transparency engenders trust in a relationship, but the first date is not when you come clean about all your insecurities or pessimistic thoughts.
12. Expecting a ‘father figure’
There are women who are on the lookout for a man who would take care of them and assert authority over them, like how their fathers used to. Re-evaluate your checklist and make sure you’re not on the lookout for a ‘father figure’.
13. Trying to be the ‘mother figure’ for the guy
Your date is ideally an independent, grown man who is capable of taking care of himself. Making decisions for him, such as insisting on him eating a particular dish off the menu even when he doesn’t want to, is going to make you appear bossy. So, leave all the fretting to his biological mother. A ‘mother figure’ isn’t probably what he’s looking for in a partner.
14. Discussing medical/ psychological problems
Almost all men set out on a date in the hopes of finding somebody they could bond with and have a relationship with.
So, avoid all unpleasant topics such as medical or psychological problems, on the first date. You wouldn’t want that to be his first impression of you, would you?
