Dating Tips: Don't Say It!

Five things you should never say on a first date. (Unless you don't want a second)

There are dating tips, and then there are dating don'ts. If you want to make it past the first course (let alone the first date), here are 5 mood killers to avoid like the plague.

1. You're going to love my parents!

First of all, no, he probably won't. Second, a first date is supposed to be spent figuring out if you want to see the other person naked - and you've just brought your mom and dad into the room. Talk about a buzz-kill. Well, unless your mom is super hot, in which case, you have other problems.

2. Blah, blah, blah, WEDDING, blah, blah, blah, blah.

It doesn't matter if you're talking about a friend's wedding, a hilarious episode of Bridezillas, or the time your Barbie married your brother's Ken doll - do not bring up weddings. Again, while it may appear that your date is listening to you intently, he is mostly just trying to get a good look at your boobies. His ears will, however, pick up certain key words. "Threesome" is one, "weddings," is another. As you might imagine, these two words elicit very different reactions.
