7 Worst Things to Do On a Date

No matter which niche you’re dating in, including BBW dating, there are certain etiquette rules for a first date that we should all follow not only to ensure we get a second date, but simply to avoid acting like a total jerk. Below we discuss the top 7 worst things you can do on a first date that will make the other person run for their life.

#1: Forget Your Manners

Your date will pay more attention to how you treat other people around you than to how you treat them. Be nice and polite, smile, and show respect to everyone, from the waiters and other patrons at the restaurant, to the random people on the street. Obviously, don’t forget your ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ when talking to your date.

#2: Not Let Your Date Talk

Allow your date to tell you their story, and don’t interrupt them when they’re talking. Don’t talk over them or for them. You want to make them feel like you care about their opinion. Also, be careful about the little things, such as ordering food for them. It’s best to let them speak for themselves throughout the evening, and you’ll have nothing to worry about.

#3: Not Say Enough

The other person is interested in you and wants to get to know you. Unless you talk about yourself, your life, your opinions, beliefs, and all those things that come up on a date, you won’t give them a chance to find out what kind of a person you are. Don’t forget that often they might conclude that you’re not interested in them enough if you’re quiet all evening.

#4: Get Too Drunk

Having a drink or two is absolutely acceptable if you’re out on the town on a Saturday night, but know your limit and don’t cross it on a first date. Getting drunk with a group of friends who know you well is one thing, but putting yourself in a position to say things you don’t mean to share or do stuff you normally wouldn’t do should be avoided.

#5: Talk about Your Ex

Obviously, everyone has a past, but your past has no business being with you on a first date. Don’t even mention your ex, let alone talk about them because the person listening is likely to conclude the past is not the past, and there is not enough room in your life for someone new.

#6: Mention Marriage or Children

If there ever was an off-putting topic for a first date, marriage and kids has to be it. Nobody likes the idea of any kind of a clock ticking, pressure, and especially desperation. It’s worse than an overly zealous sales person desperately trying to sell you something to meet their quota.

#7: Be Cheap

The matter of who pays the bill at the end of a first date is still, for some reason, open for debate when it really shouldn’t be. It’s not written in stone that the man should pay, but that’s usually the way it goes. At the same time, the girl should absolutely offer to pay or at least split the bill and mean it. If there are multiple checks to be picked up, such as dinner and a movie, it’s perfectly OK for one person to pay for the dinner and the other for the movie. It’s only fair!

How to find Love while on the Road for Work

Dating can take a lot of different forms. Some people prefer it the old-fashioned way, with approaching random people in bars and asking to buy them a drink, while others prefer one of many online dating niches, such as cougar or BBW dating. Then, there are those who love nothing more than to date people while travelling for work.

Being a travelling worker is not exactly the easiest type of job one can have. Keeping up with any sort of schedule while also being constantly on the move is hard enough as it is, which means people who also practice dating while doing a travelling job really like to play a game with hard rules. Still, this doesn’t mean that finding partner this way is impossible – which is why we’ve decided to share with you a few tips and tricks on how to find love while on the road for work.

Setting Ground Rules

The first and foremost thing you need to do in order to successfully date people while travelling for work is setting down some ground rules. What you need to remember here is you’re probably not going to spend a lot of time in one place, which means the dates you’re going on should be quick and “effective.”

In other words, you’ll have to get creative. “Let’s grab a drink” shouldn’t be your go-to line, but instead, you should make the best out of the time you have with the person you’re dating. If you’re going to date a local, make sure that they take you to see some of the attractions that location is known for.

Distance is Good

Dating while travelling for work can be tricky when it comes to maintaining a distance from the person you’re dating, since you have all the control over where you’ll be residing – but what you need to understand is that being close to the person you’re dating isn’t a smart idea.

While on the road for work, most people try to find a residence that’s near their date’s apartment or house, which is a mistake. You’ll want to keep your distance at an appropriate level if your goal is to allow that natural chemistry and love to blossom.

Separate Work from Pleasure

Even though your job is what brings you to any given location, it shouldn’t be the main focus of your dates. In other words, try to separate work from pleasure if you don’t want to bore or scare away the other person.

Most of us like to be in the company of ambitious and hard-working people. However, when these ambitions and work stories take up all the time you spend with someone, they’ll probably assume that you do nothing in life but work or that nothing seems to interest you enough for you to talk about it on a date.

Instead, make sure to mention what you do, but leave it at that. You’ll notice that your date will be much more interested in what you’re talking about if your topic is life goals, pets, food or something of the sort.
