Dating in this day and age can be rough. Finding an even remotely acceptable match on Tinder is hard, and then to have a decent date with that person. You don’t want to waste any more time than you have to, so here are some first date deal breakers to watch out for. If you see any of these, trust me, ditch the boy and run.
He won’t get off his phone to have a decent conversation with you. If he can’t put the phone away, then he is clearly not invested in getting to know you.
If he drinks enough to get tipsy. No one minds a drink to loosen up, but getting drunk on the first date is a definite no-no. Besides, if he can’t spend time with you sober now, he won’t want to later either!
Your phone shouldn’t be blowing up with texts from the guy before the date. At best, he’s overeager, at worst he’s a stalker. Either way, a clingy first date is never a fun time!
Instagram is great, we all love Instagram, but there’s no need for your date to be using it on your date. Attention is important, so it should be well-placed… on you of course!
If he doesn’t offer to split the bill, he’s probably not the generous kind of guy you’re looking for. A guy doesn’t have to pay for the bill, but it is nice to be considerate of others. (That one goes both ways!)
While we’re talking about the bill, if he pays and doesn’t tip, ditch him. Servers earn their living off of tips, and anyone who doesn’t tip is a grade-A douche.
Bad breath. Okay, so the date was great and he’s going in for a goodnight kiss. But… the kiss is no good because his breath smells and tastes really bad. Poor oral hygiene is a sign of poor personal hygiene in general. Believe me, you don’t want to get involved with that.
Kids are great and all, but if he names your kids on the first date… do I need to finish that sentence?
If he tells you he has a crazy stalker, do yourself a favor and believe him. Crazy exes are nothing to mess around with!
Facebook stalking is something we all do (let’s be honest), but it’s not cool to tell your date everything that they found out. Yikes!
