8 Things NOT to say on a Date

Its date night and you have slipped into your little black dress slapped on some lipstick and even got hair looking and feeling fabulous. He’s cute, seems intelligent, is employed and so far, even has a sense of humor. Charming, you think. Until he says the one thing that has you wishing you’d rather stayed at home and kept yourself company. These are factors you should consider before deciding if they would be a next date.
