Dating Don’ts: Top Fails That’ll Guarantee You Won’t Get A Second Date

Published on 22 May 2025 at 02:54

First dates – where hope and horror stories are born...  They are an intricate dance of first impressions, meaningful conversations, and the occasional awkward silence. The excitement of meeting someone new, mixed with the nerves of wanting everything to go perfectly, creates a unique formula for both magic and mishaps. Here are the top date killers:


1. Talking only about their ex. Still obsessed – red flag!
2. Checking phone entire time. Clearly, their screen is more interesting than you.
3. Being overly aggressive/flirtatious.: Back off, creepy!
4. Talking politics/religion immediately. Save the debates for CNN.
5. Ordering for you. Hello, I am an independent woman!
6. Complaining about everything. Negativity is NOT attractive.
7. Asking about salary/exes/past dramas. Too much, too soon!
8. Talking only about themselves. We get it, you're interesting... to yourself.
9. Getting drunk/too sloppy. Save the party animal for friends.
10. Asking for a selfie "for mom." Creepy alert – block their number!
