5 Things You Should Never Do On A First Date

4. Mentioning your ex
Another thing you should never do while you are on a first date is talk about your ex. Although it is OK to mention it, e.g. that you’ve recently gotten out of a long-term relationship or something like that, make sure not to turn this date into a lamenting session. If you talk about your ex too much, you are just giving the impression that you carry a lot of emotional baggage and that you are definitely not over your ex and therefore not ready for anyone new in your life. This can scare your date off into thinking that he will be just a rebound guy for you and that is the last thing anyone wants.

5. Drinking too much
It’s perfectly reasonable for you to be nervous before your first date with a new guy, so you might want to drink something to relax. And although there is nothing wrong with that, just make sure not to drink too much because that can easily become counterproductive. Nobody likes to have a drunk person, who they will have to take care of later, as their date partner. Besides, if you drink too much, it is more likely for you to lose control of yourself and that is something you definitely don’t want.
