First Date Conversation No-No's

Conversation should come naturally. If it doesn't, you're probably not with the person you should be.

I've been with the ol' ball n chain for 3 years. The first night we talked about how squid can squeeze themselves through a hole the size of a quater, The Yankees, and our jobs. We also talked about some books. It was cool.

:music: let's talk about sex, baby... let's talk about you, and me... let's talk about alllll the things that makes me.... let's talk about sex....:music: or is it one of the thing that you're not suppose to talk about? 😕
 
Just find creative ways to make the chick think you're very successful and have alot of money in the bank. That's all you need to do on the first date. Then you can talk about your car the next morning. 😉
 
You people actually talk on the first date? I just start with the groping. 😉

Seriously, if you can't talk about all those things on the list then you will probably violate the other rule "Just be yourself".

Wouldn't that fall under bodily functions?

How about the differences between level 1 and level 2 cache and the differences between the Intel P4 Extreme and the AMD 64 when processing data?

That's probaby cos your dates can't actually use speech, other than "Baa Baa Baaaaa."
 
I disagree with that list. What all you do talk about really is dependent on the two personalities involved and how much they really want to talk to each other.

Most first dates, you know in the first 30 minutes if it's a bomb date or if it's got potential.

Once you're over 30, one of the first questions is "so, have you got any kids?" It's usually "yes" then it's ALWAYS..."Wow...so what happened with his mom/dad?"

Then you launch into the psychotic biker ex-husband/evil connivving bitch story.

But the #1 statement that IS true is "Get the woman to talk about themselves." This is a multifunctionally perfect thing because:

1. Women LOVE to talk, period. About anything. To nobody in particular. For hours. Yappity-yap-yap-yap....for hours before they realize you hung up the phone 30 minutes ago.

2. Women love to talk about themselves. Even though they KNOW you could give a sh1t less...see #1.

3. It relieves YOU from having to talk. Just nod your head knowingly, knit your eyebrows at key moments, throw in a few "oh, how messed up!" and "I can definitely see why you were ticked off!" and "that wasn't nice of her at all" and you'll be golden.

wise man. especially the part about yappity-yap-yap-yap.

And then they yap somemore....yappity-yap-yap-yap. Christ woman can you just shut up?
 
This list is crap.

So I gather what you are supposed to talk about is how you wanna bring her home and fvck her senseless.
 
hmmm narrow minded I guess.

What they do for a living, where they went to school/grew up, favorite pasttimes, hobbies, shows, movies, books, pets?, relatives, ambitions/dreams, the food/movie/function you are on the date with....


I don't know it seems pretty easy to think of things not on the list presented. I will admit getting a date not to venture down one of the bashing/sad/painful trails is hard.

I guess this seems easy only because I have actually dated alot 😉

And your's say "Moo Moo". Knock it off with the farm animals.

Actually I hand my "date" cash first, then proceed. 😉
 
i dont think politics would necessarily be a bad thing to talk about. if the other person is the polar opposite on the politcal spectrum i would probably just move on to something else. if you are looking for a serious relationship it might be a good thing to know. in my experience most chicks know nothing about politics anyways so its probably just gonna turn into a dead end.
