How to Avoid First Date Fails

We've all had that dreadful first date in which we wonder, what’s going to happen? Famous actor and comedian Michael Cera tells us How to Avoid a First Date Epic Fail. If you're like me first impressions can be extremely hard. It seems like you stare in the mirror for hours practicing what could you possibly say that won’t make you sound like a COMPLETE fool.

It always seems like the worst moments in dates are when the conversation isn’t going to smooth and there is nothing, but dead silence. You ask yourself, “What can I do, and what should I say to make this night start off right?” Thankfully, Cera has given us a list of “Do’s,” and “Don'ts,” to keep that first date from being the last.

Do: Take some interest in them and their personal life
      Ask them about their likes and dislikes, and what they do with their free time
      Make small talk
      Make a question out of a previous answer
      Ask about some of their goals in life
      Find out if they’ve ever traveled anywhere out the state or country

Why
I call all of these topics “Chill Questions.” You can’t help but sit back and listen to all the interesting stories that they have to tell. If you get bored you can always drop your silverware on the floor for some alone time if needed!



Don’t: Talk about how much income you bring in
           Make yourself the center of attention
           Talk about any type of sexual encounters
           Bring up your religious preference  
           Talk about a previous intimate other  
           

                                     Why Not

The main purpose to not use any of these topics is because, all of these topics can be turned into an argument one way or another. Before you whip out these challenging topics get to know your date a little bit better so you don’t end up like this guy.

-Please don’t try to dig up your nose while your date is occupied
