What Not To Reveal To Your Partner On Your First Date

After days of anticipation, you finally find yourself sitting across the love of your life, excited and edgy at the same time. You are well-aware that you need to make a good impression. You want to see your potential lifetime partner again. You need to do everything you can to snag another date. So what should you do? But more importantly, what should you not do? When you're on your first date, honesty is extremely imperative, but so is discretion. There's nothing else in the world that can kill your chances of scoring another date than revealing way too much. So to increase your odds of seeing the apple of your eye one more time, here are five items about yourself that you should never, ever reveal to your partner on your first date, unless you actually want to send him or her running for the hills like crazy.

1) Tattoos

No matter how artistic of a masterpiece it may be, resist the urge to show off that gigantic crocodile inked onto your rib cage or the name of your former lover written just a few inches above your belly button. Nothing is more "uncool" than showing off some flesh and tattoos on your first date, especially when it is all about some former love or other nasty information your date would be better off not knowing.

2) Photos From Wild Nights With Friends

When you're on your first date, it is important not to scare your partner off. And by that, we mean no sharing of pictures from your crazy night-outs with your friends and other proofs of your insane rendezvous. Making good first impressions is all about putting your best foot forward and you can't do that by showing off how much of a wild, party animal you really are.

3) Your Luxurious Tastes

Don't talk about how much you would love to grab a bite of that Belgian chocolate infused with orange, peach, whiskey, and strawberry caviar placed on the sides or get your hands on the latest, most expensive gizmo. Telling your partner about your lavish tastes sends warning signals that you are a person that is quite high to maintain.

4) Your fondness for "trying anything at least once"

There's absolutely nothing wrong with making the most out of everything this world has to offer, but this is not the type of notion you would want your partner to get from you on your first date. Why? Well, he or she might just be taken aback by the fact that you are too game for anything, including the bad stuff. Images of you going wild during a crazy getaway or stealing from a convenience store might pop on your date's head, sending bad signals that he or she's in for some wild ride, for all the wrong reasons.

5) Too Much Body Exposure

Scantily-clad women and biceps-baring men never actually made a good impression on anybody. All they get is a fleeting glance and some snide remarks. So when you are on your first date with possibly your one, true love, you have to dress appropriately. Ditch those cleavage-baring tops or those muscle-shirts. Instead, look sophisticated and classy. There's nothing more that could turn people on than someone who looks gorgeous without baring any kind of flesh.

First dates are totally nerve-wrecking and more often than not, we tend to screw them up by talking too much about ourselves. So keep in mind that once the conversation ball starts rolling, resist the urge to divulge all your dirty, little secrets to your dating partner or else you'll end up losing your chance on love.
