In relation: The first things that someone notices about you on a date, according to experts .
1 "You are so [pretty / cute / beautiful] - I wonder why you are single."
You may think that it is free to ask yourself aloud why someone is always single despite their obvious appeal, but JDI RR Smith , founder of Consulting at the Mannersmith label , said that this type of comment is better avoided.
"This is problematic for two reasons. First, it makes primary looks and physical attributes. Secondly, the involvement is that someone is only worthy if he is part of a couple," she said.
2 "What makes you a good catch?"

3 "Oh, are you a [job title]? I would not have guessed it."
We all do evaluations according to the appearances or behavior of people. However, Jules Hirst , founder of Label consultant , says that it is better to avoid passing these judgments when possible - and certainly important not to share them with your date.
"It is offensive to assume that someone could not have some work according to their appearance or their way of acting," explains Hirst.
4 "You would look great if you have rush of the hair."
You may think you compliment a person's appearance by telling them that a certain look would suit them. However, Hirst says that making unsolicited recommendations on their appearance is offensive: "Respect the person for whom they are and the choices they have made."

5 "No offense, but [offensive declaration]."
The addition of the expression "no offense" to an offensive declaration lets you get the way it feels on your date. In fact, Hirst says the very need to use this sentence should point out that your declaration may be offline.
"Starting with" no offense ", you know that what you are going to say will be offensive, so why say it? Why even the possibility of injuring the other person? She advises.
6 "Are you close to your family?"
Although it is certainly normal to find out about the family of your appointment, there is a thin border between polished questions and those that are invasive. Laura Windsor , founder of Laura Windsor Liquette and Protocol Academy , recommends avoiding excessively personal questions about the life or family of your date if it is a first appointment.
"Now is not the time to raise family dilemmas or try to make someone put their soul. Let us slowly make other dates," she suggests.
Windsor adds that you should be particularly careful in your approach if you go out with someone with children. "Do not ask too many questions about them, because many parents prefer to retain information about their child until they had the opportunity to get to know their date better," she said.

7 "Wow, beautiful car. You have to do well!"
Thanks to their clothes, their appearance or the car they drive, your date can reveal clues to their income or finances. However, Windsor says that the comments of the wealth of wealth - or its absence - are cruelly erroneous on a date. "Ask questions about the income of a date where the car he has is offline," she said.
Smith accepts and notes that it is also inappropriate to highlight your own Finances on one date. "Although stable finances are important, you broadcast that you believe that someone's value is equivalent to their bank account," she said.
