This week, we had a message on Twitter from one of our lovely male readers who had landed himself a dinner date and was in dire need of some advice.
We know that there are some very wise women in our little community so we decided to put our man’s plight in your very capable hands and asked you to tell us your ultimate first date no-no’s. Here’s what you said!
@Herdotie Not being polite to whoever serves you! Impress me by saying please, thank you, etc #shiftyfirstdates

@Herdotie when he has nothing to say and you have to come up with all the conversation starters #shiftyfirstdates

@Herdotie talking about your ex, badly dressed dirty shoes, being rude #shiftyfirstdates

@tonyismyname On that date I felt like I was being assessed as good breeding stock instead of a life partner! #shiftyfirstdates

@Herdotie #shiftyfirstdates When he already knows a lot about you…facebook stalker. He smiles to reveal plaque ridden teeth…yuck.

@Herdotie. Meeting up & he asks you what you would like to do! The Man should always have a good plan ★ #shiftyfirstdates

@Herdotie Don’t talk about an ex. Or order chicken wings. Neither are sexy. Both make us squirm in discomfort. #shiftyfirstdates
