Things that Ruin Romance

​The flame of love may fade at any stage of the relationship. Some kill it on their first date, others pull off three or four, and some begin self-sabotage once things get serious.

First date errors 

1. Oversharing

​Some candidates rush right to the subject of marriage after the first 15 minutes. Do not pressure the potential soulmate to discuss family life scenarios. During the first few dates, they will not want to hear about your plans for childbirth, your endless battles with anxiety or abusive family background. It should be an introductory period allowing you to learn more about one another, but the information you share must be positive and relevant. Do not turn it into a stress test to see if the person can withstand your emotional imperfections and past flaws.

2. Being opinionated

​Of course, we all have the right to form our own opinions on religion, politics and everything else. But should you always express them straight away? Unless you meet at some rally of religious gathering, try to remain neutral. Do not express any strong judgments if they can potentially spark a conflict or offend the candidate. Keep the conversation light.

3. Bringing up your ex

​Nobody wants to hear horror stories about your aggressive/abusive/unfaithful ex-partner. You have to focus on the present and the future. Those who live in the past are hardly ready to start a new romance, and it is exactly what the other person will think. Such behavior communicates your inability to get over your past failures and to emotionally disconnect from your previous lover completely. Besides, who wants to feel like a psychoanalyst on their first date?

​4. Being desperate

if your first date seems to have gone well, it is not an excuse to get obsessive. Make a few calls or leave a few messages here and there, but never let this feel like bombarding. Say something along the lines of “I was really enjoying the time spent with you yesterday, and I think you are awesome”. Frequent attempts to connect will only convey your own insecurity and neediness, which is a turnoff.

​Many things may ruin a seemingly perfect couple even after years or decades together. For love-seekers, first dates are the first essential stage in bonding. Do not let it go awry by falling victim to these common mistakes.
