If You Want Successful First Dates... Don't Bring Your Ex

By Shoshana Jackson

Successful first dates only involve two people, you and your date.

"Your first dates are about getting to know each other as you are now. So, there’s really no reason to dwell on either of your pasts."7 Habits of Highly Successful First Dates - For Single Women by Shoshana Jackson via Factoidz

Would you bring your ex along on your date? A first date?


Of course not!

But, would you mention your ex while you're on date. For many women even though their ex is not physically there, he's a constant intrusion on their thoughts.

To have successful date especially first dates you need to keep all of your focus on the man you're dating. That means not talking about your past relationship. It means not mentioning your ex. It especially means not comparing your date to your ex.



For some women this may seem impossible. It you find that you can't keep your ex off your mind, that means you're not ready to date. After a break up you need to sever the emotional attachment you feel for your ex. If you don't you'll constantly be thinking about him, either positively or negatively.

After you've healed from your break up, accepting that your relationship with your ex is over, you can successfully block him from your mind. Taking the time to heal will allow you to be open and ready to find love with someone new.

So, if you want to have successful first dates or just successful dates in general, remember to keep your ex away from your date.
