7 Things Women Should Stop Doing On Dates

By: Franklin Ugobude

As first impressions are important, so are first dates.

First dates are like the covers of the books and don’t hit me with that don’t judge a book by its cover because nobody really wants to go through the entire book on the first date. And so it’s very important to know what to do and what not do especially if you seek to have a second date.
We may have the answers, though!
I mean, that’s why we are here. For the purpose of this article, we got speaking to a few men, those in relationships and single men alike and so here’s a few things women should avoid doing on a first date.

1. No third wheelers please

Some people still don’t understand how offensive it is to bring a friend on a date and it shouldn’t be. Men, don’t try it. Even if you meet a friend at the date, don’t invite him over. It’s wrong and won’t allow for communication between both parties, which the date is supposed to do.

2. No phones allowed 

No phones at dates, because it’s rude. What this means is forget the world, forget your twitter fam, forget to Instagram that food really. It’s the first date and it won’t kill you if you don’t post this one food okay? Very good.

3. Don’t overdrink or overeat

Know your portion ladies, and don’t overdrink or overeat. Take everything moderately, especially if you’re not willing to pay for the meal afterwards. That okay? Fine.

4. Dress conservatively

While the subject of dressing is very touchy, it is neccesary to be dressed conservatively. Goes a long way.

5. Don’t think it’ll end in sex

Men need to understand that not all first dates end in sex and as thus, remove all the thoughts from your head. Every damn thing. It’ll make the date go fine and would lead to the probability of a second date.

6. Oversharing

It’s the first date, so stick to basic essentials. Don’t slip through everything and well, end up saying some very weird things.

7. Don’t be pretentious

A lot of men we spoke to complained about how women pretend a lot on first dates. Now, remember you shouldn’t over share but don’t be fake about the sides of you that you choose to share.
