10 First-Date Blunders: Getting Drunk, Talking Politics and Exes and More

10: Don't drive too aggressively or become openly aggravated with other drivers. A first date is a time for both people to give a good first impression and losing your temper over any situation will be a "giant red flag" that will send her running in the other direction, away from you. A woman admires a man who doesn't allow him self to be walked on by other people but handles himself with dignity and who can adjust to make the most out of a frustrating situation. To be alone with a woman is a privilege, and she has put her trust in you that although you may be bigger and stronger than her and she doesn't know you very well, you're a safe person and will look out for her best interest. On a first date, showing hostility towards others or your date will make her feel as if her safety could be compromised. It is also a tell tale sign of the kind of behavior you will exhibit in the future of the relationship toward her and or your future children. You will be very unlikely to get a second date.

9: Don't order food that contains veal, lamb or tuna. Women are sensitive creatures and as such many women are aware of and have deep compassion for animal rights issues. While the woman your are going on a first date with might not be vegetarian, that doesn't mean she is not sympathetic to animals and the political issues that surround them. Veal, lamb and tuna all have controversy that surround their consumption, so it's best to take precautions and not offend your date by consuming these animals on your first date.

8: Don't discuss politics or religion. The old cliché is true. A discussion of religion or politics does have a chance of creating a deeper connection between the two of you, but is actually more likely to create a first impression of incompatibility. Religion and politics is a conversation best saved for future dates.
