18 Things We All Should Do (But Don't Because 'It's Weird')
18. Bitch About Your Ex On A First Date
We're back on the field playing the dating game yet we still have major hang-ups over the clingy, cat-obsessed freak we just wasted two years of our life with, yet as much as wed love an outlet to rant about what a nightmare our ex was, its terribly bad form to mention an ex on a first date. Think about it, though: single people are single for a reason, and thats because all of their relationships have failed. As two shy young daters sit across the restaurant table from each other, coyly picking at their spaghetti while making awkward small talk, they both know that their new dates past is littered with the kind of horror stories that make The Texas Chainsaw Massacre look like a harmless misunderstanding. This fact makes the case for being honest a matter of common sense. By telling our new date exactly how misanthropic our ex was, how they filled the conjugal bed with cats, cut our clothes to pieces and cancelled our Netflix subscription, we're complimenting our new squeeze in a hey, you seem normal kind of way while filtering out any freaks on the first date.
