Gift ideas to Avoid on Your First Date

The right gift ideas can mean the difference whether your date will decide to keep you or dump you. Here’s a list of things to avoid if you want to be successful.
Most of us draw a blank when it comes to getting the right gift ideas for the first date. Nothing could be worse than blowing it all up when it comes to giving her the gift that will either cement your place in her heart, or ensure she thinks you are not worth the effort.
Here’s a list of top gift ideas to avoid on your first date.

• Anything where choice is involved, avoid. This would include buying things like pieces of jewelry or clothing for her, as girls are fairly choosy about these things, and would rather do the buying themselves.
• KISS. The famous acronym Keep It Simple Stupid is best employed here. Avoid elaborate gifts like expensive jewelry, watches etc on your first date.
• Cards that say ‘I love you’, and include a long poem of adoration inside are again better left for times when both of you are actually sure of your feelings. Girls hate hypocrisy, and you would do well to steer clear of it. Instead, go for one with a simple message like ‘I’m so glad you came’.
• Avoid intimate things like lingerie. You don’t want to give the message that all you are thinking of is how to get into bed with her at the first opportunity. You might as well as slap yourself in the face with your own hands!

So what should you do?
Keep your first date gift ideas limited to tried and tested gifts like a bouquet of roses or a box of chocolates. You could choose yellow roses as they symbolize friendship and your intention to carry the relationship further.

You would definitely not like her to reject your choice (and resultantly, you!) straightaway. It actually happens to more people than you may think possible, so the best way is to simply avoid it.

So make use of these gift ideas to avoid on your first date and ensure she returns for a second, and a third, and so on…
