If you look at a first date like it’s an adventure, then they can be pretty awesome. You never know what you’re getting yourself into – It could end up being the story you tell your future kids when they ask, “How did you and Mommy/Daddy meet?” or it could be like ramming your head against a table 50 times. You never know until it’s over and that’s why it’s kind of fun in a gambling way.

That means you not only should avoid getting into political debates but you also should watch the foods you eat. You don’t need to end up in the bathroom for a half hour while the person you really like sits at the table and flirts with the waiting staff.
So to help you out, here’s a list of the top 5 foods you should NEVER eat on a first date…

Meeting your SO’s parents (Significant Other: for those who haven’t caught on to the acronym craze of the 21st century) is such a common and awkward experience that not only was a movie made about it (Meet The Parents), but it became an instant classic and even had a sequel (Meet the Fockers).

There’s plenty of good reasons for not dating a person: Bad breath, lazy, can’t hold a conversation, they have a problem telling the truth, and so on and so forth. For some people it’s all about the attributes: Blond hair, blue eyes, dark skin, big butt, large biceps, etc. That’s all understandable. We know what we like and we go after it. However height seems to be the one iffy attribute on the list. For some reason, a good amount of men can’t handle being shorter than their lady. It has nothing to do with attributes, tastes, or personality. A matter of fact, the girl might be perfect for him other than the fact that she’s a couple inches taller. What it comes down to is ego.

Jason Arthurs for the New York Times
Recently an article called “The New Math on Campus” surfaced on the New York Times website under the “Fashion + Style” section.
Let this be your warning: this article is neither fashionable nor stylish. It merely takes all of the hard work women do only to flush it down the toilet of college stupidity.
As for the men, it makes you look pretty miserable, too.
Alex Williams of the New York Times argues that women who attend colleges with lopsided gender balance are at a great sexual and social disadvantage. For example, the University of North Carolina (UNC) boasts a student population made up of 60 percent women and 40 percent men.
