First Date Questions

[NewMike]

Ok, i've read numerous places that one should NEVER ask about ex's and sexual past, especially in the first date or 2.

Now, in the past 3 months, i've probably been on 15+ first dates with different women, and 90% of the time I get one of those questions (sometimes all of them).

The last one, the girl asked me about number of partners, number of ex's, ONS, etc.

What do you make of this? I never mention it until the females bring it up, but it ALWAYS gets brought up.

Anyone else have similar experiences?

Yeah, evade the question. It's a test, and you fail it by giving them the information they want. Be mysterious and keep your sexual past to yourself. Ask them if they like you. They will inevitably answer in the affirmative. Then grin and say that's what matters. You can play around and exaggerate (i.e. "Not too many. A few hundred here and there."). Don't ever answer the question about numbers and sex.

If the question is about past relationships, keep the answer brief and never talk bad about your ex. Always talk well of her, and explain the breakup with something like: "We just weren't right for each other."

Under what context? Are things going well, and then they ask you? Is it a boring date, and then they are asking you?

This last time things went VERY well.

ive learned from David Deangleo that you should never give a direct answer to things. for ex: Where do you work? You: in the sewer. try to think of something funny to say instead of revealing "the truth".

Then the "ex" question may be a good thing. Your date might want to know that if you're a good catch, then why did things not work out.

Still, I don't think it is a good idea to tell right away. Make her curious, and make her wonder.

Out of curiousity, how did you deal with these questions and how did they react?
