My empty bucket list is all the places I wanted to visit in the world and can’t. That’s why I watch too many travel videos on Youtube of others taking cruises, trains and first class planes.
“Bucket list” means “things you’d like to do before you kick the bucket,” with “kick the bucket,” of course, meaning “die” — but originally with reference to kicking the (empty) bucket you’d been standing on out from under you, so as to commit suicide by hanging. It’s not as if “bucket list” refers to a bucket of goodies you hope you’ll be able to enjoy! So I don’t think “empty bucket list” is at all a good name for things you’ve already done and never want to do again — unless it is supposed to refer figuratively to failed suicide attempts?

My advice is to never do anything I wouldn’t do twice.

After three marriages, I would certainly put dating in my empty bucket list!
