Due to the overwhelming response of yesterday’s blog, “Ten Things You Should Never Say to Me on a First Date,” I feel the need to be fair and tell you some of the dumb things that I’ve said on a first date. I’ll also throw in some tips for what you SHOULD say on a first date, since so many of you have asked.
I have been on my fair share of first dates and to do this day, I am still shocked by some of the things you guys say.
