The idea of it makes a lot of people break out in cold sweat. However, it does not have to be this way. This list is a simple guidelines on the things guys must not do on their first date with a girl.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t monopolize the conversation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your date does not want to hear you go on and on (and on) about work, your ex, or your mother. Talk about yourself but also ask your date questions that will get her talking about herself. Joke around and have fun. Don\u2019t get too serious too soon. You can usually get a pretty good vibe from one another through your interactions to know if a second date is in the cards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t try to over impress<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>First dates should be fun and fairly casual. Making reservations at a fancy and expensive restaurant for a first date gives off the impression that you\u2019re trying too hard and puts more pressure than necessary on the date. Plus, it might make you have to live up to unrealistic expectations for subsequent dates. Try to plan something fun and casual like miniature golfing or a free concert in the park to help break the tension that sometimes comes with first dates.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Avoid risky or controversial topics<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t bring up topics like politics, exes, sexual preferences or things of that nature. These can come across as crass and impolite. If there are things like these you want to discuss that are important to you, let the relationship gradually build before bringing up such heavier topics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t leave her wondering how the night went<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you think the date went well and you\u2019d like to see her again, tell her. Something simple, such as, \u201cI had a great time. I\u2019d love to see you again\u201d will suffice. Notice her reaction and if she seems interested. Then text her within a day or so to tell her something funny or interesting related to a topic the two of you were talking about. Don&#8217;t wait three days to let her know if you enjoyed her company.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Going on a first date can be nerve wracking.
