A contributor shares the story of a lady who had gone on a first date with her three children tagged along. Another was accompanied by 24 relatives — that’s a lot of mouths to feed!

1. Going With A Company, Except Permitted

Yeah, we understand that you’re trying to save yourself from falling for the wrong person, hence why you want to point out your ex’s shortcomings or reminisce on the good times, but this is a very awkward thing to do on a first date.

2. Talk About Past Relationships

On a first date, you might want to hide your phone like it’s stolen property. Except that you have something adorable to show your date on your phone, please don’t be glued to it.

3. Focus on Your Phone

Believe me; your date wants to see the original you. Nobody wants to be deceived into a relationship that’ll become an adventurous ride in the future, where adventure is defined by tons of ugly revelations about who the real you is.

4. Put On a Facade

5. Alcohol Boost

6. Making It All About Yourself
