5 classic mistakes men make on a first date

A first date, even if successful, is not a guarantee of a long-term relationship. However, if you make the same "classic" mistakes every time, you will never make progress in this regard.

The online edition of GQ studied the problem of the "first date". Experts identified 5 main mistakes men make and gave recommendations on how to avoid them.

First, they advise not being late for a first date. How to do it? Plan everything in advance, down to the last detail, and leave early so that you have enough time in case of unforeseen circumstances.

Second, be careful with alcohol. When you are in an excited nervous state, it is very easy to miscalculate your strength and find yourself in an awkward position. Not to mention the impression you will make on your counterpart in this case.

Thirdly, when in a cafe or restaurant, behave appropriately and show respect for the staff. A person who is rude to those who bring them food looks extremely unattractive. Remember that waiters and bartenders are not your servants and are just doing their job. Treat them the way you would like to be treated and show your girlfriend that you are a kind person with impeccable manners.

Fourth, don't be intrusive and overly curious. Keep in mind that it's still early days, and you'll have plenty of time to learn more about your date. Therefore, avoid overly personal topics and questions, even if they are on your mind.

And the last mistake, never talk about your past bad dates and breakups. If everything works out and the first date goes well, you will probably discuss it with the girl, but only when she is ready for a frank conversation. When meeting someone for the first time, try to stick to more neutral and less awkward topics.
