Dating can be hard. Or rather, going on one date can be easy but launching from one date into two or three may be more difficult. Because of this, here are another ten things never to say or talk about on a first date, if youd like a second.

1) Why you hate your mother. Save it for your analyst, not for the woman or man you are trying to woo.

2) Any physical aberrations. First dates are not the time to say, Hey, I have six toes on my left foot or I have a third nipple. Though that may pique a persons interest for a look-see, it will automatically label you as extra-toe chick or weird nipple guy before the person even gets to know the real you.

3) The number of people you slept with or havent slept with. This will either make you look like a) a whore, b) a prude, and/or c) desperate.

4) The amount of money you make or dont make. This will make you look like either a show-off or a complainer. Keep your finances to yourself for a while. Its nobodys business but yours, your accountantsif you have one, and the IRS.

5) Favorite porn magazines or movies. If One Night in Paris was the best movie you ever saw, no one needs to know. The reason should be self-evident.

6) Your biggest celebrity crush. No female will ever feel as attractive (or curvy) as Pamela Anderson. Dont inadvertently put down your date by saying youve always had the hots for some hyper-plastic celebrity. A mere mortal will feel, If thats the type of people he goes for, I dont have a chance.

7) Calculus, physics, or cold fusionunless of course you both are mathematicians, scientists or computer engineers. Talking about smart things wont necessarily make the look smart. It could make your date think you are a) a nerd, b) a geek, or c) pretentious.

8) Dont name drop, including place names. Though your date may be interested in your travels, he doesnt need to know you went to The Hamptons and dined at the same restaurant as Billy Joel or that you went to St. Moritz and skied with the Royal Family. Even if you are a close friend of Will and Harry, first dates dont need to knowotherwise see c) under 7.

9) That time when you got really drunk. Does a date really need to hear about your stupidity, vomiting and passing out? Do you really need to relive it? Talking about drunken episodes makes you sound like a frat boy/sorority girl with a Peter Pan syndrome.

10) Any previous first dates youve had. No one wants to be the next person on your list whose anecdotes will shared with another date. Respect peoples privacy and theyll respect yours.

Following these simple rulesand a little chemistryshould get you to date number two.
