You Remind Me of My Ex

Is there any sweeter compliment? You’re telling him that he’s similar to the last guy you kicked to the curb. If you really want to make him happy, tell him every sappy story about your ex, and don’t forget any details. In all seriousness, talking about your ex is of the biggest things to avoid saying during a first date.

Let’s Get Hitched

If you’re looking for a husband, you have to get straight to the point. As soon as you sit down, tell him how many children you want. Then ask him a few questions: What baby names does he prefer? Where will the wedding take place? How much money will he have to shell out for your honeymoon? It’s all perfect first date conversation.

You Looked Hotter on Facebook

It’s not fair how much the camera can lie. If you’re on a blind date, you have to rely on pictures and a brief profile to tell you about the person you’re going out with. When he doesn’t look like the man you expected, it’s hard not to voice your disappointment. We all know looks are everything. You might as well leave as soon as you see him.

I Hope You Brought Enough Money

When you go on a date, you might as well take advantage of the free meal. Buy some lobster or a steak--whatever is the highest price. Even if you don’t like it, who cares? You’re not the one who has to pick up the check. If he tries to make you split it, just pretend to head to the ladies room, and take a cab home.

I Love You

You don’t have to mean it--you just have to say it. If you don’t, then he might think you don’t like him. You don’t want him to start questioning his behavior, do you? The only surefire way to let him know you’re on the same page is to tell him you love him. It’s not a first date until the words are said.

Here’s My Key

Always carry around an extra key to your apartment. You don't want to be rude. It's only polite to give your new friend an easy way into your house--and heart. If you're lucky, he'll return the favor by giving you your own set of keys--preferably to a car.

Don’t Call Me

If the date went poorly, let him know. There’s no sense in letting him be happy, when he clearly ruined the evening. Point out every flaw that he has, so that he doesn’t make the same mistakes again. He’ll thank you in the end. He knows you’re only doing it to help him.

The next time you're on a date, make sure to avoid saying something you'll regret. Has someone ever said something to you that made you run the other way?

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

Loved this article. Mao many are just too serious, and the sense of sarcasm made it so much better. If I knew you, I think we'd be friends.

I take it you're being sarcastic on number five? Lol

And there is NOTHING wrong with paying for the meal. It makes me feel better that I actually paid for what I ate and he can see that your good on your own without him and that I'm not just looking for a breed winner to settle down with to achieve my dream of being a house wife. I remember the day when "I love you" meant something, I think we should reassess when we say it so when we do mean it it'll feel special. And giving him ur keys is pretty dangerous especially if you actually just met him. And perhaps when u pick on his points tell him why and make them subtle you don't want to come off as picky even if your not interested in him.

Ohhhhh. Sarcasm lol.

Could not have been anymore "serious" myself... Lmfao

Personally I think those are horrible first date questions. I mean yes, tell him your priorities but don't rapidly go to "lets name out babies!" It may come off as a bit clingy.
