just for fun, i'm compiling this top ten no-no's-all from personal experience (some i've done-oops). who knows, maybe i'll end with more or less than 10-but the title sounds catchy enough! ready?
10. leave your cell phone in your pocket. let it vibrate. when he/she is not looking or has excused him/herself to go to the restroom, take a peak at it. unless it's a life or death situation or the IRS calling, having a second date with your phone is not only rude, but shows lack of interest on your part.
9. dinner AND a movie is good. JUST a movie is not. why would i want to go out and watch the latest stallone flick on a first date? (yes, there's a recent one) do you really know me that well that we are already watching my "favorite" actor in a dark, cold environment where there's no room for mind-blowing conversation? yeah. no. next date will depend on what we engage after the movie-and it's nothing physical!
8. so what are you doing later on? i'm here with you now dude. no need to rush. let's see how this one goes and then we'll plan our next move, k?
7. i just friend requested you on (insert social network here). you won't get the "accept" until after a few dates. i don't want you to know my every move and browsing my pictures and saving them to your "hard" drive. (oh god this happened once!)
6. me, me, me. when there's only one subject and the subject is you, yeah, i see how interesting and fair this possible relationship could be. if i want to hear your life story all over again, i'll just stalk your facebook page. (muahahahaha) <----evil laugh
5. what is that on your face? so you failed to take a shower and your clothes look like they are having a fight with the iron. first impressions will always last. yes, you might be playing the "i'm comfortable around you" card, but if this is today-what am i supposed to expect by date 3?
already at number 4? this is getting good...
4. my money is kinda funny. i know we are in a recession. and everyone is struggling. but if you invite ME to dinner and a movie and then tell me you forgot your wallet at home, you might as well go home and get it. not being a gold-digger because i am far from that, but if you are honest and upfront about the situation from jump, i might even pay for the entire date. why you gotta lie about the wallet? what's next? your dog ate the credit card?
3. i like talking walks in the park. oh really? let's do that after dinner and maybe when the weather is cool outside. i like to get in touch with nature and people watch, but for our first date i would expect something less active and more proactive. plus, this better not be your idea of a "cheap date"...LOL (ok i'm starting to sound like a gold-digger)
2. let's have a few drinks and then? alcohol sounds good. i'll even meet you for happy hour. but please, do not come with the intentions of getting me drunk so i'll end up seeing how "interesting" you are. let me make that decision.
and the number one first date no-no (at least in my book):
1. let's meet at your place. two words HELL NO! nothing conducive to a possible relationship can come out of this. all you want is to duck, duck, goose (inside joke/code word for sex). and this might eventually happen... LOL... but not today. not with you.
