It doesn\u2019t have to be a forbidden topic, and in fact, can often provide some great insight and depthful conversations. However, the thing to remember with ex conversations is that context is key (no pun intended). On a first date, or in the early stages of dating, talking about the ex might be something to put on the back burner, or bring up in a lighter manner. A true dating blunder is grabbing dinner with someone who only talks about their ex\u2014this is a solid indicator that they\u2019re not completely over everything, and there\u2019s a good chance they\u2019re not ready to move on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How to Avoid: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure the person you\u2019re on a date with knows you\u2019re focused on them. A first date is probably not the time to talk about an ex, or at least not in detail. If\/when the conversation comes up, try to find some positives. Even if they hurt you pretty badly, your actions and words speak volumes if you focus on what you learned.<a href=\"https:\/\/abclockandkeyinc.com\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"no-wp-caption aligncenter wp-image-573 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/dta0yqvfnusiq.cloudfront.net\/456lock\/2017\/07\/CTA-abc-lock-and-key-8-14-5991b0da8584b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"200\"><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Little More Than Butterflies<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">February means flu season, which can result in feeling pretty miserable if you end up getting the bug. The last thing you want to do is cancel a date (especially one you\u2019ve been looking forward to), but we\u2019d argue that the worst case scenario is being violently ill on your date. There\u2019s definitely moments where you might have to grin and bear it when you\u2019re sick, but we\u2019re here to tell you this is not one of those times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How to Avoid:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you start feeling ill, it\u2019s in your (and your date\u2019s) best interest to stay home. Your date will probably appreciate not being exposed to any germs\u2014although their first concern should always be your well-being. Reschedule the date, make intentions to make it up to them, and thank your date for their understanding.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Locked Out of Love<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have a night of sublime conversation, the dinner was incredible, there\u2019s no mistaking the spark between you and your date, and everything seems practically magical.

After going to the restaurant, searching the streets, picking through pockets and purses, all seems lost, and the good note you hoped to end the night on has turned sour. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How to Avoid: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keys rarely get lost in convenient circumstances, but fear not!
