Good morning.
Speaker A:I'm Haystack and I am pretty much eternally forever single.
Speaker A:I occasionally try to get out and date a little bit and every once in a great while, if I stumble across a headline that catches my attention, I'll read it.
Speaker A:And so some experts talking about the biggest mistakes that you can make on a first date.
Speaker A:And I thought, I'm gonna, I'm gonna read this because let's be honest, first dates are already weird enough.
Speaker A:Everyone's acting like they're auditioning for the role of person who has never had a red flag.
Speaker A:But according to dating experts, one of the biggest mistakes people make on a first date is trying so hard to impress the other person you forget you're also supposed to be deciding if you even like them, which is true.
Speaker A:I mean we, we treat first dates like job interviews where the job is possibly split a Sam's Club membership in a few years.
Speaker A:I mean, there are a few people who get a little crazy, turn the date into a one person podcast.
Speaker A:They don't ask any questions, they don't listen.
Speaker A:It's just a 47 minute episode of here's my Divorce, My fantasy football team and why my boss is an idiot.
Speaker A:But anyway, experts are the I thought the biggest one.
Speaker A:And I love this skip dinner for a first date because that makes it feel too much like an interview.
Speaker A:Try to do something more low pressure.
Speaker A:Go play mini golf, go to the farmer's market, maybe go to a razorback game or watch a razorback game to see if they're prepared for heartbreak or already completely dead inside like you are.
Speaker A:And I think we've got to.
Speaker A:And according to experts, retire the whole three day or 24 hour, whatever the number is.
Speaker A:The texting rule where you try not to be too eager.
Speaker A:Forget it.
Speaker A:If you like, somebody send them a message.
Speaker A:We're all adults.
Speaker A:We have mortgages or rent.
Speaker A:We have back pain.
Speaker A:We have phones stuck to our hands 19 hours a day.
Speaker A:Quit it with the games.
Speaker A:So yeah, dating expert advice there or dating advice there from experts, I should say.
Speaker A:But I'm clearly not an expert.
Speaker A:But I do think you should consider my list of the top six conversation starters that you should avoid on a first date.
