So you’ve gotten out of a long-term relationship or marriage and now you are looking to get back into the dating game. There is no doubt that you’re going to be feeling a little rusty about the whole dating thing at this point because it’s been such a long time. When you are with the same person for so long you end up becoming comfortable with them, used to them, and you’re never really pushed out of your comfort zone. When you start dating again there are probably going to be many times where you are feeling nervous about it all. Times when you are going to feel clueless even, like you don’t know what to talk about. Well, what we do know for sure is that there are some things you should absolutely avoid talking about on a first date and here they are below.
Your past relationships or marriage
If this person is someone you end up dating long term then eventually you’ll talk about this but on the first date it’s a good idea to skip it for now. You don’t want your date to think that you are still thinking about or haven’t moved on with your life yet.
Any problems with kids or family
Again this is kind of like the first rule. It’s a much better idea to give your partner time to get to know you before you start unloading bombshells on them about your kids and family.
Money
At this point you are no doubt your date have spent significant periods of their lives building up their nest eggs. So the last thing you want to do is make them feel like all you care about is money or that you are financially insecure.
Enjoy your new dating life but avoid these conversational topics on the first date. They are too heavy for a conversation where you are just getting to know your partner.
