Top 5 topics to avoid on a first date

First dates can be a daunting experience in themselves. To make something that could be extremely rewarding for you and your date less awkward, here are few topics that could be considered inappropriate on a first date. Remember that you are there to get to know each other, but you do not have to cross any lines while doing so, that may make your date uncomfortable.  There is plenty of time to get to know each other and there is no reason to dig too deep too soon.
  1. Past Relationships – Talking about your ex/es is never a good idea in the beginning of a new relationship. Leave your ex in the past where they should be and focus on who is right in front of you! 
  2. Religion – your belief or disbelief in a higher power may be a very important subject to you. But a first date is not the time or place to discuss it. Leave such a sensitive topic until you really get to know someone. 
  3. Sex – If you bring up this subject on a first date it is most likely going to be in the other persons thought that you have a one tracked mind and are only dating for one reason. There are many other subjects to visit and there should be no reason to have to resort to a subject that could be potentially embarrassing for your date. 
  4. Money – How much your date earns is not important enough to broach on a first date. Nor is it the place to brag about how much you earn. Money is not of great importance to everyone and you do not want your date to think that it is all you care about. 
  5. Marriage and Kids – You don’t want to come down to heavy on your first date by listing how many children you want to have and when you envision being married. The last thing you want to do is scare of a new love interest before they have gotten to know you. If you have children already and do not want to be rejected for that mere fact, insure that your date knows of this prior to going out with them to minimise any disappointments.
