First date turn offs and mistakes

First impressions are lasting ones, and the last thing that you want to do on a date is pass off a negative impression. Blind dates can be the worst experiences for some people. Because one, the date was either set up by friends are some chat service. Sometimes the dates are rude, obnoxious, and sometimes not easy on the eyes. So, what do you do in a situation like this? It's vital that you aren't rude to your date. No matter if you aren't into he or she, there's a right way to do everything. Being rude can be a turn off, and if you think that you don't trust your friends intuition or a chat service it may be wise not to accept a blind date. On regular mutual dates, the main thing that seems to get in the way of rationalization is nerves. You trip and fall over your tongue so many times that you practically want to give up and call it quits. It's okay to be nervous, just remember that the other person is there to get to know you. Even if they aren't into you, there are more fish in the sea. It's best to just calm down all that anxiety and just be yourself. Here is a list of turn offs and mistakes that you will want to avoid.

* Body Odor.

It's bad when you stink because of natural causes, but dousing yourself in cheap Cologne is just not attractive. I myself prefer a man who just wears soap. It's okay to wear cologne, but one dab is all my sinuses can handle.

* Attire.

Being a a four star restaurant does not mean that you wear torn Levis and a raggedy t-shirt that says I dig Fat chicks. Make sure that you are both clear on where you are going for the date. Be prepared, and if you're not a four star kind of guy, don't try to impress your date by pretending you are. If you are a Hamburger kind of guy, sometimes we'll understand.

* Language.

"That #&$* #*$&# is getting on my $*#&# last $*#&@..." Whoa chill out man. If my date curses every third word, I'm afraid he can't be brought home to mama. Watch your mouth some women get offended by swearing or crude language.

* Cheap...



OK so we go out for a burger and fries, see a matine, and share a candy apple... but I paid for it all. Oh no you don't I'll be sending you a bill. It's the twenty-first century, and some women are taking on paying for the date, but if it was your idea, and then all of a sudden you forgot you wallet...take a hike...no really.

* Arrogance.

I hate when my dates think they are prettier than I am. Flexing your muscles when I want to talk about Politics is such a turn off. Then again talking about politics
