Never ask this on a first date

So there you are, on a dinner date with the attractive girl you´ve ever wanted to be with and you would really like to make as good an impression as possible. It is considered that a first date is one of the most nerve-wracking aspects of dating at any age.

The main concept of a perfect first date is to get to know each other, therefore, the perfect first date will usually involve a nice conversation. Some people consider it is very hard to keep first date conversation flowing amiably during the date. Successful first date conversation leads to a second date. Complimenting your date may break the ice, make the other person feel more confident and comfortable.

But there are things you can ask that would scuttle the entire evening so it´s better to avoid certain questions:

Tell me, how much do you earn? What someone else earns is none of your business. At best, the other person will suspect you of trying to get out of paying your share of the meal. At worst, the other person will suspect that you are looking for a meal ticket for life.

So why is someone like you single? There is no answer to this as it isn't really a compliment. What do you mean? What's wrong with you that I haven't noticed yet, but everyone else has? It merely puts your date on the defensive as the only other answer, namely, "I'm single, because I want to be", puts an end to all hopes for the evening.

Do little kids drive you nuts, too? Not only may they have gone on this date because they're keen to start a family, the person may already have children of their own from a previous relationship or marriage. Bang go your chances for a second date.

So how big is the place you're living in? Alarm bells will ring, as it sounds as if you are keen to move in as soon as possible. So why is your life so disorganised that you don't have a place of your own? Or do you go on dates, because you're looking for accommodation?
