Sir, Please, Stop Talking About Your Ex on the First Date

Nothing screams “unhealed” louder than a man who turns dinner into a TED Talk about his ex. Sir, this isn’t couples therapy, this is your shot at a fresh start. If I know more about her than I do about you by the end of the night, we have a problem.

Talking about your ex too soon isn’t vulnerability, it’s baggage. Put it down. Heal, reflect, journal, scream into a pillow, but don’t make her the rebound therapist.

Tessa’s Final Thought: If you’re still hung up, stay home. Don’t drag someone else into your heartbreak tour.
