The first date has every chance to become the last, if the two failed to find a common language. What topics should not be touched on the first date, if you do not want it to be the last one.
1. The former.
If you constantly remember and praise your former partners, then your new acquaintances may get the impression that they are still not indifferent to you. If you do not talk about them in the best way, then let them know that you are not very clever and, probably, also a vindictive person. Ideally - to focus your attention on who is before you, and not on your past.
2. Health problems.
Keep your digestion and other medical history up to the best of times. Discussing other people's ailments or even heroic health is interesting only to close people.

3. Financial position.
Even if you have a tight wallet, you should not discuss it at the first date (unless, of course, you think that they are choosing your money, not you, especially when it comes to money problems and turmoil.
4. Religion and politics.
There are topics on which everyone has his own opinion, which means that talking about these things is very likely to lead to quarrels or disputes. There is nothing terrible in either or the other, but for the first date of such risks it is better to refuse.
