Off the top of our heads, we can name check a number of things that have the potential to ruin a first date: Being rude to the waiter, texting your way through dinner, Instagramming your meal.

But saying the wrong thing is probably the biggest fear among the recently-dating-again set. Some examples below are:

1. "My ex is over there -- quick, act like we're interested in each other!"

2. "You're going to eat ALL of that?"

3. "Yes, those are my parents at the next table. Great people. We go everywhere together."

4. "Hey babe, can we cut this a little short, the game starts in two hours and I'm superstitious about sitting on my couch an hour before each game."

5. "What's your credit score?"

6. "Here's something I actually said while driving to the restaurant on my first date in 20 years: She was making small talk about my car and I blurted out, 'And with the back seat folded down you can lay down in the back.' I am sooooo smooth."

7. "I'm not racist, but..."

8. "So, let's talk politics."

9. "I love you."

10. "'I never used to watch Asian p.orn until I met you, now it it is all I watch.' I actually had someone say this to me; he was confused that I wasn't super flattered."

11. "You look a lot skinnier in your profile pic."

Lol @ #3. That's so not applicable in Nigeria.

So, if I don't talk politics what am I to talk, sports?

Okay, most Nigerian men will say "I love you" even before you agree to date. I am sure when you eventually agree to date, one will hear a lot of it. That's their own idea of making small talk.
