- You were pretty nervous about the date and it showed in your demeanor. Fidgeting, avoiding eye contact while speaking, and other nervous tics can easily turn off women. Worse, it might give them the impression that you are hiding something or are untrustworthy.
- You may be a wealthy guy with money springing out of your pocket. But, you don’t need to divulge too many details about how much you make or are worth and what you own. Believe it or not, all this talk about how wealthy you are on a first date can actually turn off women.
- You were clinical about splitting the bill on your date and nailed it to the last cent. Unfortunately that can be a turnoff too. Offering to pay the bill sends a positive message about you and generates goodwill. That often helps in getting the relationship to progress further.
- You were running short on time and so you cut corners with your grooming for the date. That can be suicidal on a first date. Remember first impressions are always important. Make sure you look well groomed and have nice clothes on. Personal hygiene is equally important – body odor and bad breath are two things that can ruin your first date.
- Not being nice to the waitress or the valet can also sabotage your first date. Behaving rudely or arrogantly with other people may make your date think that you might be disrespectful or condescending with her further down the road in a serious relationship. And, that is a definite turnoff.
- You talked a lot about your business deals, sales commissions, etc. In short, your work was the main topic of conversation pretty much throughout the date. This sends the wrong signals about your priorities and may deter a woman from pursuing a relationship with you.
- Physical contact (holding hands, massaging back, etc.) too soon into your first date can ruin it. Make sure there is enough intimacy in the relationship before you demonstrate affection with a woman. And, that is definitely not something that you can venture into doing on your first date.
- You were too business-like in your interactions on the first date, pretty much like it were a business deal and you were closing it. So, the aggression in your approach showed. That is a definite turnoff as well. Never treat a date like a business negotiation.
- You kind of ended up typecasting your date into a pigeonhole quickly during the date. Well, making assumptions about a person’s nature or personality on the basis of answers to a few questions can spoil your date for you. Don’t let your impatience in understanding your date stand in the way of a more meaningful relationship.
- You are no doubt a busy man. But, you received too many calls during your date and you spent too much time talking – on your phone. That can also be disastrous on a first date when you are exploring whether your date is the right woman for you to strike a more meaningful relationship with. A first date always calls for you to be dialed in all the time. So, switching off your cell phone (or at least putting it on vibrate-mode) is a good idea.
- Last, but not least, your first date calls for you to be honest about yourself. You cannot lie about who you are, what you do and so on. And, the last thing that you should lie about is your marital status.
