The biggest dealbreakers on first dates
Do you want to laugh? I received an email last week asking if I wanted to participate in The Bachelor. They probably read my text about how the American version... my ultimate guilty pleasure is. I kindly declined. I definitely watch, but participating is not really my cup of tea. I prefer to stick to dating without cameras and twenty other girls vying for the same guy.
In the name of research, let's talk about the ‘make it or break it’ deals during first dates. Are you still single? Great. There is a dating website called Plenty of Fish, which, with the help of 2000 single people, has researched the biggest dealbreakers during first dates. So if you happen to have a fun evening planned this week, at least you know what not to do.
Your phone
Do you know the new dating trend phubbing? I already told you about it. here Phubbing is when your date pays more attention to their phone than to you. It has a harmful effect on your relationship because apparently, everything happening on your phone is more important than what is going on with the person sitting in front of you. Ouch.
Smoke breaks
I don't smoke, so I completely agree: a date that constantly goes outside for a smoke. It can happen once, but not all the time. And it's especially annoying when that terrible smell of the cigarette lingers.
Unfriendliness
It's actually a no-brainer, but something that is a huge turn-off is someone who is unfriendly. To you or to the staff serving you when you're eating or having drinks somewhere.
Talking about exes
Hmmm, well, this research shows that ’the ex talk’ is a no-go. I recently wrote that you should actually... do it, but according to this research, it's something you should save for a later stage in a relationship.
Having nothing in common
91% of participants find it a nightmare when it turns out they have nothing at all in common. Now, the whole idea of ‘opposites attract’ isn't wrong, but imagine if everything you like, he finds terrible and vice versa. Then that date isn't exactly...
fun.
Guys, do you want to know how to date properly? Well, thus.
