First dates can always be a bit awkward, but can be made that little bit worse if you bring up something completely untoward. So..

That tentacle porn video you watched in 2011, politics (except Donald Trump, always good to sound out a racist), your exact stance on unicorns

Agree with all three, apart from embarrassing stories can always break the ice...definitely need to test the water first though.

Haha - there are worse stories that can probably be shared!
I was gonna say sexual preferences and fantasies, but if you can slip those in and she seems interested then you know you've got a keeper; if she acts repulsed, might as well cut your loses and save yourself some time and effort.

Football, past relationships, politics
Sobbing about your ex :lol: Like gtfo you dweeb. Telling your whole life story in one go. Basically revealing too much info all at once, and also being a creep, asking too much personal questions in return. Lastly, being on your phone throughout.
1. "I want to kill myself."


2. "I want to kill you."


3. "I want to kill everyone."
I'd say previous relationships, weird sexual fantasies, and discussing your reasons for wanting a gf/bf in an awkwardly formal, matter of fact way. It's not a business venture or a job interview after all. :smile:

Your obsession with KFC
Unless your first date is at KFC :ahee:

Have one as my best friend :smile:
I think you should always discuss previous relationships briefly. Doing this has never caused me any harm. If the person spends the majority time talking about their ex then you know they are still hooked and you can tick them off your list.
I have discussed every topic under the sun, so I can't even answer this question.....
The only thing I can think of is anything morbid, wouldn't wanna hear their sexual fantasies either or certain bodily functions.
