The Envelope: Love & Sex - The art of the first date

1. DO NOT BRING UP YOUR EXThis is the most important strategy, that's why it's listed first. No matter how relevant it is to a conversation, bringing up the person who you regularly had sex with and exchanged "I love you's" is odd. It makes the situation awkward and it will make the other person uncomfortable, annoyed, or even jealous....
