First dates can either make or break a prospective relationship. They're like a sneak peek into what being together might feel like. While they don't necessarily determine the entire future, they can play a big role in forming first impressions, and we all know they are pretty hard to change.
While first dates can be very exciting and can spark a flame between you two, certain topics are better avoided on the first few dates at least. Want your date to go smoothly? Here are some of the things you shouldn’t disclose or discuss on a first date.
1. Your Ex
If you keep rambling about how awful your ex was on the first date, then you might come off as someone who’s bitter and your date may think you’re not over your past relationship. Instead, tell him what you’re looking for in a partner and how you envision your future partner.
2. Marriage
Diving into marriage and children when you first meet each other will definitely scare your date away. This kind of topic is too early to discuss, and your first date should be all about getting to know the person you’re with while keeping it casual and fun.
3. Past Traumas
Opening up about personal traumas can create a sense of vulnerability and trust, but sharing deeply personal and traumatic experiences on a first date can feel too overwhelming and you’re still unsure if this person is to be trusted with such information or not.
4. Personal Insecurities
Let’s face it, we all have insecurities and it’s okay to be vulnerable, but sharing your insecurities on the first date kind of exposes you too much in front of someone you don’t know and you might end up looking like someone who lacks confidence. Keep the conversation light and positive as much as you can.
5. Too Many Compliments
Complimenting your date every now and then can break the ice and make your date happy. However, love-bombing them might come off as insincere or even make the other person uncomfortable, so don't overwhelm them with compliments.
