    Don't vomit at the table. This never happened. I just think it is good advice.

    Haha I love this..such a turn off..

    or I thought of one that I shouldve been smart enough to stay away but telling me how he "borrowed a car and was accused of stealing it" but he came to town with no car! Few monthes later the verbal abuse starts, cops are called and he is arrested...ugh!

    So my moms listening to the radio and they were going to list the 5 biggest things not to do on a first date. And the first thing she says is "have sex"...im like mom I dont think thats going to be the turn off for that specific couple to make them NOT want to see each other again, and she is like yes it is. Lol, I would say a first date is to soon for that stuff but its not something that will absolutely mean hey I dont want to see you again since it is something they both would have done mutual.

    So my question is what is the biggest thing that you have experienced on a "first date" that you would never want to experience again.

    I cant think of any but I didnt really have many chances to date since I had a few boyfriends but they really changed my life not always a good thing, but just so I didnt have enough time to date or it wouldnt have been the right timing.

    LOL - i dont know since i had sex the first night we went out - and here we are, married six years later :)

    awesome story!

    True story. Good advice for things other than just a first date.

    Tell them you love them! I didn't even actully DATE this guy yet. We were IM'ing & a couple phone calles, trying to plan a date (which he kept wanting me to make the 90 minute drive to HIM) He blurted that out & I said, "dude, you don't even know me!" LOL What an idiot. Needless to say, it didn't last long. I had to decline a concert & then he stopped talking to me! Then several months later he IM'ed me giving me this big spiel about all the drama he's had. My response, "Wow. That's crazy." 'Nuff said.

    shoot down all your dates ideas on what to do and when asked what do you wanna do, the only thing you can come up with is "check into a hotel"... seriously!!!

    Sometimes eating the taco lands you a second date with her!

    Don't spend more time looking at your dates tits than her face.

    But when you're sitting down, you cant see her *kitten*. LOL
  • Do NOT, and I repeat Do NOT poop your pants. There will be no 2nd date. Guaranteed.

    I went out on a "first" with a woman I really liked. Never told her I am a paramedic. Ended up doing cpr on a man in line at a well known restaurant. The ambulance arrived and we soon discovered that I was the only paramedic on the scene. So, I am starting iv's, getting an ekg, and pushing meds without thinking. I looked back at my date and she was mortified. I ended up going in the ambulance with the patient to the hospital. My date eventually told me that my life is way too "exciting" for her tastes. Now I show up wearing an EMS jacket and I tell the person my occupation first
    '"

    what the heck? whats wrong with her? I would have thought that was awesome!

    Yeah I don't get how thats a turn off.

    Say "I love you" (thinking how i met your mother here...)


    this paramedic/firefighter's wife would have thought of that as turn on!

    Talk about bug infestations while we are eating... or at all for that matter!! Of all the things we could talk about I had to listen about how he was infested with bed bugs!

    I could feel myself getting itchy listening to him!

    Advice I could have used 20 first dates ago. I get it now.

    This actually happened to my friend. She was hammered and threw up on the table at this sports bar. Her and her date left cash on the table and ran out of the restaurant before the waiter came back. They are now engaged.

    I once met a guy online whom I thought was "ok". I wasn't initially romantically attracted to him but he was nice, so I thought "well, let's give this a little time just to see what happens".

    It wasn't the first date, but the first time I went to his house. He proceeded to give me the 'tour'. It was a smallish house, only 2 bedrooms. When he opened the door to show me the second bedroom I couldn't believe what I saw. It was decked out ceiling to floor with Indiana Jones paraphernalia. I mean EVERYTHING. Bed sheets. Posters. Movies on a shelf, etc. And if memory serves me correct, there was a life-sized cardboard cutout of Indiana Jones in there too.

    At first I thought he had a kid that he hadn't told me about yet -- but nope -- he just really liked Indiana Jones.

    Needless to say, that romantic attachment NEVER happened!!!

    About the whole sex on the first date thing being so taboo, I think it really depends on the couple. No matter if they have sex on the first date, it really only makes a difference if that's all maybe one of them wanted. It usually doesn't work out if one person just wants booty but the other wants a serious relationship. If both of them want booty, then it's a win win. If they both want a relationship and still have sex on the first date, the relationship can still work. I speak from experience, ladies and gents :)

    A major no-no on a first date with me would certainly be talking about your EX. If you're not over them and you feel the need to talk about them constantly, you're not ready for a new relationship. Period. Don't waste my time.

    Secondly, avoid talking about "the future" and "making plans". That crap is SCARY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not even sure I want to hold your HAND yet, let alone make babies and grow old with you. Geez. I've seen guys (and girls) do that a LOT when they're first starting to date someone and it disturbs me. Get to know the person, first! Are you that desperate that you're ready to settle for the first person you were successful in taking out on a date? I don't know. Just my two cents.

    "Too exciting" for her? Geez! Talk about rock star! You saved someone's life without thinking about how it might affect your social life and that was a turn off? Good thing she told you up front.
