  (#9) Oversharing About Your Date On Facebook

  You’re out on a first date and it’s going great. Better than any first date you’ve had possibly ever. Your friends would be so happy for you if they could see you right now. And wouldn’t it be nice to show that one classmate who ignored you in high school that you’re now living an exciting life, filled with expensive restaurants and romantic gestures, and they missed out by not going to prom with you? Plus, this way your mother will see that you're doing fine living on your own, and you are meeting people, and she should stop trying to set you up with her dentist's kid.

  To show everyone on Facebook how desirable you are, you decide to post a few details of your date. What your date was wearing. Where you went. How the movie was. You end up posting every single moment, step-by-step, until it’s like everyone reading your updates was on the date with you. 

  Hope having fodder for your Facebook feed this one time was worth it, because there's little chance your date will want to see you again. Cause if you did this, you just did something super creepy. People who come on too strong are rarely the ones who make it to the second date.

  (#6) Desperate Comment Interactions

  You may want to get the interest of one of your Facebook buddies. Maybe you went on one date and then nothing's happened since. Or maybe you're just hoping that they'll finally agree to go out with you because of your charmingly flirty interactions. Either way, you keep an eye out for status updates from your target and then do your best to reel them in. Whether the flirting is obvious or you try for an oh-so-casual comment along the lines of “You’re playing Call of Duty: Black Ops II this weekend? That’s so funny, me too,” these flirtation comment attempts are not as witty as you think they are.

  If this person wants to go on a first date, or continue any kind of a romantic relationship with you, they'll let you know. Otherwise, nothing you can say via a Facebook comment will change their minds. Keep it up and you'll just look like you're trying way too hard.

  (#10) Sharing Too Much Info About Your Ex on Facebook

  You’ve gone on a wonderful first date and avoided all the other mistakes listed here. Congratulations! But WAIT, your Facebook profile still has tons of comments and updates about your ex. How badly things ended. How much you still hate your ex. In fact, even as you're getting ready for this exciting first date, you can't resist posting another comment complaining about your former paramour.

  Even if your ex was truly a horrible person, now your potential new relationship knows that hook-up details, arguments, and any other interactions are fair game for your Facebook wall. So try and cut those out altogether and you should be ready to go out on a date with anyone of your choosing.

  Good luck!

  (#3) Creepily Liking Old Facebook Photos

  Jealousy isn’t the only reason not to scroll through all your first date’s old photos, though. They may be public, but going through them and then liking a hot picture from 2007 constitutes the first order of creepiness.

  Generally, as a rule, don't "Like" attractive pictures of people that you find attractive and eventually want to end up in some sort of relationship with. That's what all the creepy "Instalikers" are for. Your relationship with that person goes deeper, or at least it (hopefully) will. Leave compliments for when they dress nice for you in real life.

  (#5) Going Too Far Via Status Update

  You’ve decided to play it cool and not friend the girl or guy you just had a fabulous first date with. But you’re still excited about the date – so excited that you have to share your happiness on Facebook. This mistake can consist of posting a status update saying that you just met the person you’re going to marry. Or you may make the classic mistake of changing your relationship status from "single" to "in a relationship." You could even announce that now you understand the true meaning of love. All of those steps are going way too far, because it was only one date.

  There is no way that a first date equals you being in a relationship or finally knowing what it means to be in love. And even if you truly feel that your first date will be your husband or wife someday, you should still keep it to yourself, because Facebook updates are public! If your date sees your status change or update, there is no way they'll want to see you again. Keep it to yourself, at least for now.

  (#4) Not Untagging Old Photos That Make You Look Bad

  You're going on a first date, and you're ready to make a good impression. So you get dressed up. You make sure your hair looks great. You're ready to find love! Except you haven't cleaned up your tagged photos on Facebook.

  What's the first thing that everyone does before a first date? Facebook stalking. If you don't clean up the detritus that's littering your Facebook profile, the drunken photos and inane comments that you've accumulated over the years are waiting right there for your date to see. No matter how well you shower, how closely you shave or how great you smell/look on that first date, you're going to be your Facebook pictures at the end of the night. Their favorable memory of you will be fueled largely by the visual representations you have on your Facebook page. So make them part of your strategy. No one wants to date a person with a set of dreadful toilet-centered selfies on her Facebook page, or someone who commented about how the movie Transformers changed his life. Untag the drunken photos and delete the misspelled rants now, before it's too late! 

  And as a general rule, it may be a good thing to always keep those drunken pictures off Facebook. No one really wants to see you with your head sunken into the toilet.
