Top 10 First Date Tips & Turn-Off's (For Ladies)

This list is comprised from the many conversations, debates and arguments I've had with my male BFF's, co-workers, ex's, associates and strangers.  *exhale*  Here we go....

1. Ladies, remember this is just a first date. Talking about marriage & babies will surely make him uneasy. FYI: Rarely do first dates go so well that men consider a marriage proposal. That happens mostly in Hollywood movies.
   
   
2. Don't forget to mention you have kids (No, I'm not kidding). Very misleading...
   
   
3. Enjoy the date. Let your guard down. Don't sweat the small stuff. Have fun!
   
   
4. Refrain from talking about your ex's if you can. Talking about them sends a message that you have baggage & you haven't really moved on.
   
   
5. Look your best.  Sounds like a no-brainer, but gorgeous hair, lipgloss and a nice outfit will get his attention and go a long way.
   
   
6. After the date, do not immediately 'friend' him on Facebook or follow him (publicly) on Twitter.  Don't do it.
    
   
7. Turn down the Diva. Excessive mentions of yourself, your shopping habits, your collection of shoes (red bottoms), connections, etc. will not make you a prime candidate for date #2.
   
   
8. Don't overdo it in the scent department.  Take it easy on the perfume. 
   
   
9. A vocabulary that consists of mostly profanity gets annoying real fast. Be a lady...
   
   
10. Afterwards, show some interest.  If you're pretty sure he's interested (like 90% sure), it's OK to give him a call. Remember....you snooze, you lose:)
