First dates are always challenging: emotions confuse you, your brain freezes, sometimes you feel like you've forgotten how to speak. But there are some things you should avoid at all costs, because one wrong move and… poof, you're left without a second date. The "Pa Manual" girls from Andale Media have revealed some of the biggest mistakes guys make on first dates. Take notes!
1. Don't wear tracksuits/sportswear.
Girls spend two hours in front of the mirror getting ready and you show up in gym pants?! This is the perfect recipe for looking like a “Balkan couple” (you know what they mean). A pair of jeans and a simple shirt have never killed anyone.
2. Never ask this question: “How much did you have before me?”
This is the worst question you can ask. What do you expect as an answer? A number that will calm your soul? What if it's bigger than you imagined? Or smaller and you feel unappreciated? In any case, this question does not have a happy ending. For this reason, girls have a defense mechanism: the standard answer "I only had two before you." And that's the end of the discussion.
3. Be careful with the meeting place
A nice dinner, a nice cafe - that's enough! But a meeting at "Pamja" or somewhere on the side of the highway?! That's a big NO. According to the "Pa Manual" chicks, the meeting place says a lot about your intentions, so choose wisely.
4. Never talk about your ex.
This is another fatal mistake. If you're not over your ex yet, take your time, but don't burden the girl with your old memories. No girl likes to hear another woman's name on a first date. You should avoid this conversation at all costs.
5. Beware of exaggerated accessories
If you have chunky pendants or rings so big they could be used as defensive weapons, you should probably leave them at home. Excessive accessories don't make you look more attractive, but like someone who is trying too hard to stand out.
If you find yourself making one of these mistakes, don't worry, you still have time to learn. Just remember one simple rule: be polite, show genuine interest, and above all, don't wear sweatpants. Everything else can be fixed!
