The 10 Mistakes Men Make On a First Date

1. Liberal or Conservative
   Whether you are supporting the democrats or the republicans, it doesn’t matter to her unless she is a prejudiced activist. Even so, she would love to take time out of those debates and engaged into other topics. Don’t talk about politics or religion unless she initiates them first. Always have a broad-minded mindset even you don’t share the same view.
2. She or She?
   I know it isn’t easy to focus your attention just on your date especially when that hot waitress in ‘Hooter’ outfit kept on passing you. Men are like eagle when it comes to scouting around for the perfect prey. If she caught you always checking that other ladies out, likelihood she will check you out too. Focus your attention on your date and if you can’t curb your desire, try to find a restaurant that isn’t a temptation island.
3. Leave the Past Behind
   It unwise to talk about your exes or past relationships in front of her. She wants to know that you have move on and ready to start a new relationship. Worse still, the criticism and condemnation you spoke of your past relationship will make your date feared that she might become the next victim. Just remember the golden role, don’t talk too much about yourself, instead keep the focus on her!

   Unless you know she’s into the same stuff, don’t talk about your sexy kinks. If she tell you first about something that happened to be the same thing you like. You can continue the conversation and asks more about it.
6. Give In to Her
