If you take a stroll through the relationship section of your local bookstore and randomly pull a book from the shelf…
Or if you search google for a few helpful hints on what to talk about on a first date…
You’ll undoubtedly find some variation of the following advice:
“Never talk about politics or religion on a first date”
In my latest video I break down three reasons why this is terrible advice, and why breaking traditional dating “rules” like this could be the best thing you ever do.
Can you think of a time when you broke a dating rule and it actually worked out in your favor?

P.S – Conversations around sensitive topics like politics can leave both men and women very emotionally charged.

Summary –
1. Your Politics Are a General Reflection of Your Personal Values
If one person in a relationship is just a little bit more politically fiscally conservative than the other, you can generally assume that it’s a reflection of their own life.
Getting a general idea of someone else political viewpoints will help you understand the situation a little more clearly.
It’s better to discover deal-breakers like this on the first date. It will save you a ton of time down the road.
2. Finding Political Commonalities Will Bond You Closer
Finding political commonalities will sometimes create an even deeper emotional bond.
Of course, when you’re on a date you don’t have to agree on everything, but when you do find things in common it might actually connect you even more.
One thing that Jess and I found as we got to know each other a little bit better is that we’re environmentalists.
This has been a common bond for us over the years of getting to know each other.
If you are on a date and you’re struggling to find things in common, then perhaps talking about your views on things actually might be that common thread that connects you two on a deeper level.
3. Even If You Disagree, You Might Learn Something New
When you’re single and dating, it’s actually a rare time in life when you’ll be able to meet so many different types of people.
I’m not saying you always need to agree with people, but it’s good to be able to use this time in your life as an opportunity to learn more about people that are just different than you.
Once enter into a committed relationship and get married, you’re not going to have the opportunity to meet as many people as you’re meeting right now.
Take advantage of this opportunity and have an open ear.
Heck, you might learn something.
Maybe it won’t be a fit romantically, but who knows?
You’ll at least get to walk away with a new perspective.

Great idea! That strategy makes sense. Thanks for sharing it. =)
Find out if he’s a Trump supporter BEFORE the first date…You’ll ONLY be wasting your energy w/a loser if he supports the donald & you cannot possibly lower yourself down to his level of understanding :((((((((((.
Yes, I agree with this. Also, your political beliefs are going to come out at some point down the line, so better to find out immediately how the other person handles any differences in opinion.
Great video, great thought!
My boyfriend and I had a crazy 2 hour conversation on our first date about all kinds of “no no” topics: death, kids, politics, and religion. Not only did we click on a lot of topics, it might just have been the reason we are still together and talking about a future. He knows I’m confident in my own skin, able to be genuine about tough topics, and have depth to me. If I was shallow and uninteresting, he may have moved on! Instead I used those Sexy Confidence techniques and now we are looking at a wedding in the… Read more »
I agree totally.
I actually did this with the guy I am currently dating (only been dating for a little over a month). On our second date we talked about all the “taboo” topics. Such as drugs, how much money we make, past relationships, and politics. It was actually pretty nice to talk about such topics! I’m really happy we talked about all these things at the beginning and can see why you suggest it.
I working in policy for a leaving and my current SO and I agree are almost everything. We have a lot more in common that just politics. I think people need different things for different people. I do think respect is a HUGE problem or both sides and you may disagree but you don’t have to been mean about it. I am not a socialist or a fascist and I know how to talk politics w/o blowing up a situation. But I’ve talked politics for years and know how to get folks to open up. People are usually kind –… Read more »
I actually changed my Intro in my online profile recently, to address my political preferences. It hasn’t deterred anyone, in fact..even those who don’t agree on all counts..it has created good dialogue. And, let’s fact it..this year, it certainly is an icebreaker..whether we like it or not.
I absolutely agree. I was the chair of the legislative district and had been put up for state representative position when I started dating the guy I’m with now. There is no way that I could not talk about politics and there is no way I could be with someone seriously who had opposite values that I had. The nice thing is, after I got to talk with him I found out that he is not only in the same party I am in but has many of the same views that I have. In some areas we agree completely,… Read more »
Honesty in dating should always be a way to be able to see the (real) things about a person when on a date. You are so right in saying that it saves time in dating by letting us see if it would be a possible good fit, or a definite bad fit. Thank you very much for posting the very very enlightening video Adam.
absolutely!
I’m from London UK and was on holiday in Glasgow, Scotland and had a date there. Oh my…The guy had just voted for Brexit (I couldn’t vote as I’m not British but I’m definitely a remainer) and said he wanted Trump to win the US presidence (that was in September). Needless to say I just wanted to run away.
I think it’s a great topic even before going on a date! Maybe even in initial texts or even in your profile! I’ve had people straight out say they were a liberal or hated DT or if my political views were a certain away…best of luck. It sure saves time in weeding out people who don’t share your views or values! I appreciate it!
