You are on your first date, but what do you do, or say? So many people and blogs over the years tell you "not to bring up your ex", in 2022, talking about your ex, as long as it is positive , that should be okay. I had recently gone on a date with a very handsome Korean man, who we got to know through text before going out on a date, asked me about my "Ex" situation. He told me his ex and I said "my ex had anger" and left it at that. As we all have baggage and stories. As long as you don't linger "Well my ex was bad at this, my ex was awful..etc.." don't be negative about ex or anything. A first date is a POSITIVE experience. Be happy and smile 🙂 

For the Korean man, we still went out on our date. The only reason why we didn't go on a second date was because he wanted a hookup and I do NOT do hookups (how did I know? He told me!). So here are 20 Do's and Don't for first date:

Do

1. Make your partner feel comfortable.
2. Keep the conversation flows going.
3. Be an interesting date.
4. Laugh at their jokes.
5. Be on time.
6. Be yourself.
7. Talk about their interests also.
8. Be a romantic.
9. Be confident.
10. Show respect to your date's wishes.

Don't

1. Talk about yourself all night.
2. Be late.
3. Talk about an ex-relationship all night.
4. Eat with your mouth open.
5. Try to be something you are not.
6. Show disrespect for your partner or their beliefs.
7. Forget to thank them for the date.
8. Pursue sex after your partner has said no.
9. Propose marriage or kids.
10. Ask too many questions.
