Do not bore her with talk about your job tell her what you do and leave it at that. If she asks you for details of what you do for a living, reply to what she asks but do not go overboard she may just be trying to be polite and overdoing the job talk could bore her.

Its easy to make mistakes on a date but one of the most important dating tips for men that can help you to recover from them is to always treat her like a person and not an object you are lusting after.
