DON'T say this on a date

It’s date night. So you’ve slipped into your little black dress, slapped on some lippie and even got your hair looking and feeling fabulous.

He’s cute, seems intelligent, is employed and so far, even has a sense of humour. Charming, you think. Until he says the one thing that has you wishing you’d rather stayed at home and kept yourself company.

Our feisty Facebook fans share the things they’ve heard that are guaranteed to have us hiding out in the toilet, planning an escape route…

DO NOT make reference or compare her to your ex.


Chanelle Burke “My ex used to do that.”
Tracey Bevan “This is my ex-wife's favourite restaurant.”
Alecia Braxton-Hamilton “Can my ex join us?”

DO NOT put her in the same sentence as your mother.

Avril du Preez “You remind me of my mother...”

DO NOT insinuate that she’s fat.

Lindelwa Tenza
“You were really HUNGRY.”
Chanelle Dwarika “Are you sure you want to order dessert?”

“So have you recently had a baby?”

DO NOT think of her as easy and sleezy.

“Nice ass!”
Tarryn Matthei  “What's your favourite position?”
Bronwyn May “Are you wearing panties?”
Tebello Falatsi “Are you sexually active?”

DO NOT focus your attention on something else.

Dionne Solomons Jacobs
"Can I sit over there - can't see the TV from here" Uh-hmm, no!
Nancy Chama Serenje “Let’s do this quickly - the guys are waiting for me.”

DO NOT be cheap.

Tesh Tasmeena Pillay "So who’s paying?"
Celia Fleming
“I forgot to bring my wallet.”

DO NOT be unnecessarily mushy.


Caroline Nape “I love you.”
