First dates are the best opportunity to get to know someone. However, some topics and things should not be discussed during the first date. Here are a few things.
1. Past relationships
avoid talking about your past relationships or what your ex did, this is a first date, and the person wants to know about you. Talking about your ex too much can make your date uncomfortable, and it might give the impression that you are still into them and not ready for a new relationship.
2. Politics
Did you read this?
politics is a very crucial topic for some people. Different sides of the political divide have different opinions on life issues. It is essential to discuss politics as it might make a date uncomfortable.
3. Religion
religion is another essential factor to consider when going on a first date. Avoid any religious topics. Getting to know someone well before you bring up religious issues is important. Interreligious dating is tough to navigate as you get opposition from both sides of the family.
4. Money/finances
finances are another topic to avoid discussing on the first date. No one needs to know how much money you have in your account. Talking about how rich you are might come off as bragging. Discussing your debts might also scare your date away.
5. Health issues
don't talk about health issues. Talking about your health issues might scare your date as they will see you as a burden. It is essential to disclose your health issue but wait until you get to know each other better.
6. Work problems
avoid talking about your work problems, and use first dates to relax and unwind from your problems. Focus on your hobbies and the fan things in your life. Remember to keep the conversation light and fun so it can be memorable.
