If you are hanging on for a text about meeting up for a second date, but it appears you are being ghosted, it may be down to something that happened on your first date. In a recent online discussion, men (and some women) talked about the top things women do on a date to make them lose interest. We have compiled the best responses that may help you get that all-important second date next time.
A Lack of Spark
If there is no spark then no matter how well you get on with your date there is not a lot of point in making another one. One person commented, “I feel I’d probably be stringing her along if I felt we were friends and nothing romantic.”
Awkward Silences
Silences in long-term relationships are normal as a couple become comfortable with one another. However, when it comes to first dates too many awkward silences can indicate that you are not the best match.
Jumping Ahead to the Future
One person commented that he finds it an issue when women begin talking about a future together on their first date. Slow down, people!
Offloading Emotional Baggage
Another turn-off for some men was emotional dates in which women tell every little detail of previous trauma and life events. The point of a date to many men is to have fun and take a night off the stresses of everyday life.
Being Rude to Service Staff
I think this one goes without saying for both sexes. It is always telling to see how people behave with serving staff and for some men being rude is a strong sign that there will not be a second date.
Not Looking Like Their Profile Picture
It is always awards arriving on your date and scanning the room to see who you are meeting but when people make their profile picture look completely different than real life it is even more difficult.
Talking About Their Ex
If a girl is talking about their ex constantly then they may not be ready for a new relationship, according to the feedback some men gave online. These men wanted the focus to be on them rather than on somebody they are no longer dating.
Being Drunk
Nerves can get the better of people on a first date but, ladies, if you are getting a little too tipsy on your date then it will put your date off.
Being on Their Phones the Whole Time
A major turn-off for many people was being ignored in favor of their date playing on their phones, taking selfies, and texting their friends. Full attention is required, it seems.
Being Late
First impressions count so one person commented that if their date is late then it shows disrespect. We hope this person shows some understanding of special circumstances.
Talking Themselves Too Much
Men said that it was great to hear about the person they were on a date with but when it turns into a monologue and they don’t bother asking questions about them then it is not a lot of fun.
Negativity
Nobody likes a buzz kill!
Dissing People They Know
If a woman is on a date and is gossiping about her friends and family this can be off-putting to many men. One person commented “If someone talks a lot of dirt about people to you. Then they will have no problem talking dirt about you either.”
Getting Political
Politics and religion are no-go areas when it comes to topics to talk about on a first date. One man commented that it“gives me the ick.”
Ordering a Well-Done Steak
In a moment of humor, one person commented that they could not possibly have a relationship with someone who orders their steak well done!
Talking About Astrology
In one amusing post, a man disclosed that “I’ve known several women in their 30s who want a guys birth chart before they’ll go on a date with them, and if it doesn’t match their ‘Scary stuff!’”
Messy Eaters
Eating food on a date can be tricky with some foods such as spaghetti and noodles a no-go for many. If you thought it was just men who were messy eaters you would be wrong as some men said that messy/noisy eaters make a date very uncomfortable.
Complaining About Everything
The menu, the food, the lighting, and the bathroom are just some of the things women can complain about on a date and some men do not want to be a part of it. It seems that positivity goes a long way and the more negative you are the more likely it is then you will be searching your dating app again.
