1. Cell phone shakedown
It’s annoying enough when you answer, or even look at, your cell during a date. Poor decorum, my friends. But if you so go so far as to answer the phone, return a text or update your Twitter then I sure wouldn’t go out with you again. Most girls would agree.
2. Not enough eye contact
Now, I’m not saying you’re a psycho killer if you can’t look your date in the eye; maybe you’re just really insecure. Neither attribute is attractive. If we can’t get in some good eye to eye time, then how are we ever supposed to a) establish any sort of initial connection, or b) give you the sexy eyes.
These are two very key date ingredients. If you are constantly averting your face, causing us to miss out of these things, it’s going to be very difficult for us to be into you.
3. Drinking too much
I don’t hate booze, far from it. There’s only been one first date that I didn’t drink and that was with a recovering alcoholic. I’ve found most people I know agree with me.
Unfortunately those who don’t know their limits and cross into the danger zone on a first date are all too common. Getting falling down drunk and trying to grope is not okay. Having a drink to calm your nerves and bring out your wit and charm is. Got it?
4. Is this a date or a job interview?
Even if we want the position of “girlfriend”, we definitely don’t want to feel like we’re interviewing for it. Even less than that do we want a guy who approaches his love life with the same professional list-making and tactical point-keeping of his career.
So don’t start spouting off likes and dislikes in women, or telling us exactly what you want and don’t want in a relationship. Just let things unfold naturally and if it fits, it fits. We hate having to feel like we’re defending our right to be out with you. It makes us not want to go out with you again.
5. You REALLY like us too soon
When we women get ready to go on a date for the first time with someone, yeah, we’re excited. Mix in a bit of hope and anxiety and you come up with the biggest concern of all which is “will he like me?” Not being liked by our date is a bummer, but you know what’s worse? When our date think he knows us inside and out after just 5 minutes, is madly in love after 15, and is hinting about how eloping to Las Vegas is so romantic.
Whoa, buddy. I said I’d go out with you again, not that I’d take your last name. Slow down guys; we like you too, but contrary to poplar opinion, not all women are in a race to the altar. And if you come on too strong too soon, you’re only going to freak us out.
