Date Discussion DOs and DON’Ts

Straight from the soon-to-be-released Why Hasn’t He Called? How Guys Really Think and How to Get the Right One Interested In You, a guy-wrangling playbook from Matt Titus and Tamsen Fadal, topics to avoid and try on the all-important first date:

He’s running if you talk about…

• Therapy or rehab of any kind
• Babies: anything about them
• Love: the concept, the thought, or the premise
• Breakups: good, bad, ugly
• Your girlfriends: he doesn’t care, believe us
• Things you hate about your body
• Puppies, kittens, or any animal smaller than 25 pounds
• Zodiac signs
• Makeup, fashion, shoes, or nails
• All things related to that time of the month

He’s listening if you talk about…

• Things that turn girls on, but do not reveal any personal prefs
• The amount of private time you require. Make sure you say you need plenty!
• The HBO series Entourage
• Rational thought with an independent disposition

Now, some of the DON’Ts may seem obvious, but it’s amazing what can come out of one’s mouth when nervous.
