There’s a reason they say ‘first impressions are always the last’ and when it’s about a relationship, especially during the new and dating stage, this could be a critical aspect you absolutely need to keep in mind.
The first few times you meet your new lover will tell them a lot about you, and sometimes, talking about your past, even if you mean it in a nice way, can only give off the wrong signals.
So what to avoid saying?
If you want this to go beyond the first night or the first few times, and are actually looking at some potential long-term love here, keep these in mind.
Don’t talk about how an ex made you feel good
You already know this is dating poison, but sometimes, when your new lover is doing everything, you may lose yourself in the moment and actually blurt out something to the tune of how amazing this feels, and how your ex also made you feel this good. Hold the thought. Coz if you don’t, chances are you’ll never get this again with your date, especially if it keeps reminding them of your ex.
Don’t talk about numbers
Your friends may have made you feel great about your conquests, but it’s best not to boast about it here. Sure it’s one thing to tell your date that you’ve been in other relationships before, but that is where it should end.

Things you did in the past you don’t do anymore
We all have been foolish at one point or other, but then we all someday grow up and become more mature. You’ve probably realized your mistakes and become a saner person now, especially when it comes to dating and relationships. So avoid talking about all your past mistakes or your bad behaviour, especially if you’re ashamed of those, or if you don’t behave like that anymore.
This doesn’t mean you have to lie to your new love. Honesty is important in every relationship, but just give it a little time. Hold on to some of the information that can scare them away right now. Let them know you a little better and then talk about things gradually.
