What Not to Say at the First Date?
First Date Etiquette
1. To talk about your ex boyfriend (each time)
Your potential new boyfriend doesn't want to imagine that someone else than him was next to you. Whatever you do, it's not good: if you start saying good things about your ex, it will seem that you haven't forgotten him yet and if you say bad things about him, you will seem rude.
So even in the most tempting situations (for example- when your current partner meets your ex), avoid telling stories from your former love life.
2. Talking about religion and politics
Avoid starting a conversation on these topics, unless you are both interested in debating such issues. Don't do it even if you're 100% sure that he has the same beliefs as you. You can never know what preferences he has. Of course, there are some interesting and exciting ideas that can help you know better one another; but you should use them only if the conversation comes from itself, without changing the natural direction of things.
3. Talking continuously on the same topic
An evening in which you talk only about your career won't impress him. The same is available for topics like your childhood, friends and free time. Be careful to change the topics of conversation, in order not to be boring.
4. Not choosing the right place for a date
The first date should be in a place that allows a conversation and not places that are addressed to other activities, such as dancing or concerts. After all, how much can you talk? It's unpleasant if you run out of topics ... If so, you can go anytime somewhere else.
5. The sex
The general rule states that you shouldn't have sex at the first date and not to say anything about the number of your sexual partners from the past. Even if things seem all right, it's better to avoid breaking this rule. It's no hurry! I know, maybe you'll say that it's better to enjoy the moment and to let things go from themselves, naturally. But I really think that a first date offers much more interesting things to do! Moreover, it's the perfect occasion to find out more about the other, without being influenced emotionally.

no matter what you do you are influenced emotionally, when you decide if you like this person or not just by talking to him your emotions are in play.
