 Topics you absolutely must never talk about on a first date: politics, religion, abortion, and if die hard is a Christmas movie.

 My giga brain move is to say that I’m not political instead of an anarchist 😂

 I'm not even sure how it happened, but... I wasn't kicked out, so... I suppose that's a win?

 Very difficult not to bring up conspiracy theories for me. Have lost potential wives from doing it 😤

 Ha, I would say these are a good filter to not have to waste time on a second or third date.

Okay, maybe I would save the Die Hard conversation for a later time. 😂

 You might stay single for a while doing that 😂

 The trick to solving the dating problem is to get married first and then just date your wife.

 You said to marry someone, then date her. Dating is about getting to know someone in order to see if you’re compatible. If you skip that, then she’s a stranger.
