Ten Things… You Shouldn’t Do During a First Date

Unless of course you don't want another one.

Rebecca McKnight

First dates are great things. They allow you to get to know the guy you fancy and can lead to meaningful relationships.

But first dates can also be a source of embarrassment and can lead to the end of a potentially meaningful relationship.

If you are heading on one, make sure you don’t…

1. Arrive late

He doesn’t know you well enough and probably will leave.

2. Forget to check where you’re going

You’re nervous enough without turning up overdressed.

3. Order difficult foods

Spaghetti and pizza are not good first date foods so avoid at all costs unless he orders them first.

4. Talk about exes

It doesn’t matter if you’re slagging them off, there’s no excuse.

5. Talk about babies or weddings

You may as well wave goodbye now.

6. Tell your life story

The reason it’s called a first date is that there are more to come.

7. Get drunk

Recipe for disaster.

8. Cry

Doing the previous point could lead to this.

9. Arrive with a friend or your mam

It’s WAY too early.

10. Forget your purse

Don’t assume that your date will pay because that’s just embarrassing.
