Avoid Conversation Blunders: These Topics Should Be Steered Clear of

• Ex-partner talks: Whether you speak positively or negatively about your ex, it will make the other person uncomfortable.
• Financial disputes: Don’t discuss topics like “who should pay the bill” or “how much you earn”—being too focused on practical money matters will lower their favorable impression of you.
• Negative comments: Refrain from complaining about the restaurant or the waitstaff; it makes you come across as impolite.
• Religion and politics: Differing opinions on these topics can easily lead to arguments, so they’re not suitable for dating conversations.
• Excessive bragging: Avoid going on and on about your own achievements—it makes you seem arrogant.
