When going on a first date with someone, what are some topics that you feel are absolutely off limits? What are some things you feel should be discussed right away?

Off limits for me: exes,

Must discuss: expectations of the date, and the like

Don't: Talk about how soon you want to get married. You will freak your date out.

Do: Talk about their favorite movies/shows or genres. What places have they visited or would like to visit.

I have no clue! I never really "dated" a lot

I just kinda seem to end up hooking up with a friend! Still friends with most of my exs too, the ones worth talking about anyhow

Don't have any/many expectations.
Do go somewhere that allows you to actually talk, rather than something like a movie.
Don't interview them.

Sing...good point! I hate when you are talking to someone and it just feels like a job interview!

Chelsea...another point, always have a high opinion of yourself!

I am only friends with 2 exes. But I have never really been on a true "date" either except for 1 or 2.

Awwwww man all was kewl till the last one.... Dessert first is fun sometimes...... hehehe...


Actually the main one is the first one stay off the darn phone unless it is business that is soooooooooooooo rude....

Myself I say enjoy the date and make the best out of it.... make it casual and talk about everyday stuff. Ask some questions about the things they like or places they have been. Just don't drill them with a 100 questions.....

Relax and just enjoy it......... bigsmile

I keep my phone on silent regardless of who I am with. It is just rude to constantly be on the phone or texting when you are even just hanging out with a friend.

I didn't realize how big of a part self confidence played in the dating world until I had to get back into the dating world again.

Don't: Contact him after the date. If he had a good time he will get a hold of you.

Do: Flirt it up!!

BAD:

"What should we name the kids?"

"I want to be in your next book."

"Let's go get drunk!"

"I have plutonium in my purse."


GOOD:

"Can we talk about m-theory?"

"I'm working on a manuscript, would you look at it for me?" (This way, I can find out if she can actually spell simple words.)

"Marriage is for dunderheads."

"I want to buy all your books."

It's kind of a gray area. If she said "Have you ever wondered if it would be possible to make a statue of Leon Trotsky out of plutonium?" that would be a tremendous turn-on. If she HAS plutonium with her, that's not good.

Ladies, DO wesr your best cleveage shirt

Men, DO wear your bulge enhanser pants

DON'T smoke all your crack before the date, you may need some later if the date takes a nose dive south.

DON'T refer to the parent of your child as...my baby daddy/my baby momma

i'll talk about most anything...

i've found that it's not the subject as much as the attitude. if one is obviously negative/bitter, it's a dead give-away that they shouldn't necessarily be dating or that our personalities wouldn't mesh.
