Interesting new way to do the articles in video format.
All of the information has been covered other threads on the boards.

Yes, it's different to watch a video for a change. I liked what the lady had to say; the guy...I think he was full of it. Women who are unpredictable and predictable aren't attractive to me. I view them as bipolar or having borderline personality disorder.

I like video - I don't like commercial advertisements.  The woman's perspective was good.

Just one more eHa article that completely missed the mark and failed to address the bigger picture. Limiting the do nots on the first date to three topics is misleading and negative.

The key to discussions on a first date is to keep things positive! More important than the topic is the tone of the conersation. Almost anything can be discussed if done properly. Remember, I said almost, not everything.

A positive attitude combined with positive uplifting topics and discussions should be the goal of a first date. Laughter relaxes people and sets the tone for an enjoyable experience. You can discover a lot about the other individual without grilling them. Honest light hearted discussions provide the right enviornment for people to open up and be themsleves which is what you want to see on a first date.

Forget the do nots and think positive!

The video was ok. But I can't totally agree with Carter's views. He seems to try to tell women to be jugglers between being unpredictable and being predictable, to have 2 traits which are opposite of each other. I don't like this. He is almost saying to play games? As to the other part 2 of the video by a woman, concerning conversation on a first date: point #1 Being vague about either why your marriage broke up or point #2 Being vague about how many people you date, I don't agree with. I believe in honesty. I think it's a fair concern--why a marriage broke up and if sharing that answer scares someone off, they are not worth your time. And some people only want to date one person at a time, so it is fair to share an honest answer and not hide how many people you are or were dating. I would be uncertain of a person who tries to hide things--that would not be positive. point #3 Not grilling a person on a first date I agree with.
