I know some people are all about making mistakes over and over and over because it makes them so relatable or cool or whatever (trust: forgetting to send a thank-you note doesn’t make you cool — it makes you a jerk), but I will continue to be a proponent of doing things the easy way — yes, the easy way! Because most of the time avoiding dumb mistakes is much easier than cleaning up the mess a mistake creates. So in that vein, check out these 20 first-date mistakes to avoid:

1.Discussing what you discovered when you pre-date Googled each other.
2.Asking for a kiss. (If you have to ask, it ruins the mood. Just go for it — the worst that will happen is you’ll get the hand.)
3.Begging for a kiss.
4.Proposing.
5.Checking your phone.
6.Letting the other person pay if you’re the one who did the asking. Going dutch is not an appropriate first-date activity.
7.Quoting your therapist.
8.Showing too many pictures of your cats.
9.Wearing anything you’d wear to the beach if you aren’t going to the beach.
10.Bringing uninvited friends along.

14.Giving too many compliments (make three your limit).
15.Interviewing your date for the position of your significant other.
16.Discussing all your dietary quirks. No one cares.
17.Getting too drunk (again, three is a good limit for just about everything, including cocktails).
18.Forgetting to mention you have kids.
19.Talking about sex if you don’t plan on having it on the first date.
20.Name-dropping anyone for the sake of impressing your date.

Sukhoi Pak Fa will be the first Russian 5th generation superfighter. Military officials promised to show its first prototype in 2009 and to start the production in 2010. There is still not much information about this jet, but it’s said it could be even better then US F-22 Raptor. Those concepts are made by Russian industrial designer Aleksander Dultsev. Unfortunately, the real Sukhoi Pak Fa will not be that cool.
