Casually Explained: First Date Mistakes

whoa no way now I'm no expert on dating which is why you can trust I know what I'm talking about so whenever it comes to First Dates the obvious question is how do I get one and I'm no pickup artist I say hoping you would have thought otherwise but there's no magic words you can use to convince someone to go on a date with you and if there was the closest we have is writing you have beautiful eyes in the PornHub comment section in reality getting a date in this day and age is pretty straightforward

convey that you're an attractive enough person in both looks and personality and the wait for your step parents to go on a cruise now the obvious way most people nowadays are getting First Dates is dating apps like Tinder and Bumble and in my experience a lot of people feel like they aren't getting what they want guys say things like oh I never get any matches it's a waste of time unless you're like a male model I think their profile is a blurry photo of them in cargo shorts holding a foot long shinook salmon now I

hate to break it to you but if you expect to match with a Victoria Secret model you're going to have to get up to at least a 3ft hbit similarly a lot of attractive women say things like ah the just no good guys on here it's like why do I even try and then their bio is like Sophie 25 love to meet new friends and have fun winky face and as a guy when you see someone put like no effort into their bio you just think yeah still pretty hot so now that we Flash Forward

in time and we've got a date we can start getting to the real issues now there are a lot of questions I found on Reddit from people who've never gone on a date before and so I wanted to get those out of the way really quickly before we move on where should I go for a first date uh somewhere you'd enjoy going by yourself anyway so you have drinks uh where should I go if I'm not 21 I don't know Church who should pay on a date uh this depends on if you made a YouTube

video that month or not so so yeah usually her uh is it bad to have sex on the first date well I'm afraid it's 2021 so the question isn't whether you had sex it's whether you held hands uh should you tell her your sexual fetishes on the first date uh no that's why we have twitch okay so let's get down to the biggest first date mistakes making the fact that you're on a date ambiguous uh one of the most common feels bad man scenarios is going on a date with someone to somewhere fairly platonic like

a cafe and halfway through your coffee they start talking about their boyfriend and you're like oh no hey I don't know what you thought this was and I probably didn't communicate this properly but like I'm down to experiment dude uh leading with money a lot of guys think that girls like men with a lot of money this is girls like cool men with a lot of money so unfortunately she's not going to be impressed that you bought GameStop and AMC at the top even though you're sure it's going to squeeze any time now slow texting

a lot of new daters feel they have to artificially stagger their texting to seem busy or unavailable this is stupid because you are available instead you should artificially Stagg your texting because you're overthinking every word of your response uh bragging bragging is probably one of the worst things you can do on a date because you convey to the other person that you're insecure about your social value unless you leverage your one unrelated source of measurable significance uh worrying about what to say most people get really nervous on dates filter themselves too much and awkwardly run

out of things to say the common advice that you'll find is that it's not what you say that matters it's how you say it which is mostly true but that's like saying don't be nervous and just be cool you idiot if you actually want the solution to being so nervous in my experience it's a it's fine not to say anything and B have a storyline uh if you know the topics and stories you really want to share then you can just completely improvise if this first section is your trip to Coco Bongo in Cancun it

might be a 5-minute story but the conversation will inevitably Splinter into her trip to Mexico clubbing regrettable experiences and getting kidnapped by the cartel then when those topics run out you just say anyway and go back to the main storyline if you then run out of storyline entirely and the date gets really awkward just grab your emergency kit roofy yourself and wake up the next day embarrassment free doing something that doesn't match your personality if you're chatty and personable go for drinks if you're more subdued and aren't good at talking do an activity like hiking

or pool or board games and allow her to absorb your personality by destroying her at bullet chest play to your strengths and your lifestyle if you're an attractive guy use Tinder if you're really charismatic get yourself into more Social Circles if you're neither like honestly cheers oh God our date with each other today has been sponsored by expressvpn now if you don't know expressvpn allows you to reroute your internet connection to nearly any country in the world and at this point I basically used expressvpn for everything unblocking show shows like South bark and Top Gear

on Netflix by rerouting to the UK watching YouTube videos that are unavailable in my country like Saturday Night Live and now securely complimenting naked women's beautiful eyes I can do that without a VPN but this way she thinks I'm from the south of Spain a less romantic but more effective way to use a VPN is to find better deals on your subscriptions for example by rerouting to India you can save over a hundred bucks on an NBA league pass and by rerouting to Argentina you can save over $10 on Netflix all the while being assured
