A couple years ago, my friend Rachel (you know my BB, fajita friend) went on a date with a surgical resident that she met at the children’s hospital where she works. Because I am such an amazing best friend, I made a list for her of things not to do on a first date. Well she found the list the other day, so here are some of the things from it:
-If you eat too much at dinner, refrain from unbuttoning the top button of your pants, even if no one can see it, just don’t do it.
-Do not talk obsessively about your pets. This might seem like a no brainer to most people, but not to fanatic animal lovers like Rachel and I. At the most, mention your pet one time, and not in a baby voice. And no showing pictures.
-Never, ever talk about any kind of bathroom experiences.
-Do not talk about embarrassing shows that you watch religiously.
-Do not bring, or talk about anything in US Weekly.
-Try not to sweat too much if you are nervous.
-Do not ask him what his favorite application on facebook is.
-Do not demonstrate any dance moves that you made up after watching Step Up.
-If at a Mexican restaurant, do not drink the salsa or lick all the salt off your margarita glass.
-Do not chew your nails and then spit them out on the ground.
So things didn't work out between Rachel and her date, it turned out that the guy was a major player who was dating several of the nurses at the same time, but my first date tips were a useful tool that has since guided Rachel through the turbulent waters of dating.
