Donkey or Elephant?


As election day draws closer, the topic of politics is on the minds of every American. This may even include the person that you are out on a date with.


Let's say that politics some how comes up and the two of you have different party affiliations. At this point on the date, you quietly start to freak out.


In order for the conversation to keep calm and not escalate into a heated political debate, there are some things to remember:



  • Everybody is entitled to their own opinion.

  • Not everybody was brought up the same way.

  • Do not argue if you do not agree with what he/she is saying.

  • Try not to make your views sound like the only way of life.

Politics is an extremely important and interesting topic. Its okay for you and your date to discuss politics, just keep in mind my helpful hints so you get a second date.
