4. BRINGING UP YOUR EX

It's natural to compare a guy you're now dating to an old flame. In fact, such comparisons can help you figure out what you find appealing about someone or help you to avoid making the same mistake twice. But you don't need to fill your date in on your observations. So what if he and your ex wear the same cologne? What's the point in telling him that your ex was also really nervous the first time he met your dad? Such comments only serve to confuse a guy or, worse, give him a complex. Don't believe it? Consider how tortured you'd feel if your date started comparing you to his ex!
