"Whatever you do, bro. Don't talk to her about whales."
I'm about to go on a date with a girl that I met last weekend.
I was talking with a friend of mine, and I went on this long diatribe about Sperm whales. I talked about how they dive thousands of feet down to search for food, how they're highly intelligent, how they appear to have a complex language, how MIT researchers are trying to decipher what their clicks mean so that we can one day talk back to them. I also talked about how I want to go to Dominica to swim with them in their natural habitat and about how they are very friendly and will come right up to divers.
It's a minor passion of mine. My friend found out about the date, and he told me, "Whatever you do, bro. Don't talk to her about whales." Should I avoid the whale discussion on the date, or should I just go for it?
