For The Guys: Five Things To Avoid On A Date
1. You're chained to your mobile
We absolutely hate it when you even so much as look at your phone when you're out on a date with us. It's just poor manners. If you go so far as to actually answer your phone, or return a text message there won't be a second date; guaranteed.
2. No eye contact
You may not be deranged when you can't look us in the eyes. You could just be really insecure. Either way, it's not good. It's impossible to establish any kind of a connection, or give you our smoldering, sexy look without some eye to eye time.
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
Don't think that I have a hate on for booze because I don't. I never would have made it through most of my first dates without some liquid fortification. Well, except for that first date with a recovering alcoholic; having a drink just didn't seem fair.
But there is a distinct difference between having a cocktail to take the edge off your nerves and loosen you up into the witty little charmer you are and getting falling down drunk and trying to grope us. Not sexy. And after the age of 19, it's not even all that forgivable. Learn your drinking limits and absolutely don't cross into the danger zone on one of the first few dates with someone.
4. Turning the date into a job interview
We may, at some point in the future, actually want the position of being your "girlfriend", but even then we don't want to feel like you're interviewing us for it. Your list making may serve you well in your professional life, but it's no way to conduct yourself on a date.
We're not interested in being lectured to about your like and dislikes in a woman and what you're looking for and not looking for in a relationship. Just go with the flow and if we click, we click. We shouldn't have to verbally defend ourselves about why we're out with you because we'll talk ourselves right out of a second date.
5. Too much liking too soon
We ladies get quite excited when we're at home getting prettied up for our first date with you. Not to mention a wee bit anxious and hopeful. Our biggest initial hope is that you'll like us. When you don't, yeah, it's a downer. But you know what's even worse? When you think you know us five minutes after meeting us; in love with us after 10 minutes and making references to the romance of a Las Vegas elopement by the end of the night.
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.
