Who hasn't got a bad date story these days? For anyone trying (and failing) to get their head around dating apps or online dating, these constant nightmare scenarios can feel like a sick joke some evil witch is playing on you. To stop us all from becoming everything we hate (a.k.a. The Date From Hell), eHarmony has revealed what their users consider to be the biggest date faux pas. In short, these are the things you should never ever do on a first date.

1. Be rude to staff

Wherever you have a date, the worst thing you can do is act like a total d-bag to the staff. Not only does it make for a 10/10 uncomfortable atmos, but it shows you up to be a mega a-hole. Dunno about you, but someone ordering waiting staff around like a military general instantly makes my vagina seal up.

2. Constantly check your phone

Hey! Are you actually listening to a word I'm saying because it looks like you're scrolling through your mate's dog's Instagram? This is a) rude, b) disrespectful and c) annoying. My worst is when they have their phone on the table, right there in between you, like it's on the sodding date too.

3. Talk about your ex

Like bumholes, everyone's got them. Refrain from blathering on about them though, it makes people feel weird and on edge. If you chomp on about how awful your ex was, it screams NOT OVER IT. And if you're bigging them up, it's like... get back with them then?

4. Swear too much

Swearing can be hilarious in the right context. However, if your entire vocabulary is limited to a combo of bollocks, tits and fucks, it can come across as rude, aggressive and kinda moronic.

5. Refuse to pay your way

It's an instant boner killer when your date doesn't even pretend to make a grab for their wallet when the bill comes. Realistically, splitting the bill or taking it in turns is The Dream Scenario because, well, it's the 21st Century.

6. Turn up late

I feel like if you know you've got somewhere important to be, you should just naturally leave extra 'just-incase' time to get there. Being late signals you're not that arsed and actually value your own time more than someone else's. Bad vibes from the get go.

7. Constantly check your appearance

Ever been sat across the table from a date who keeps checking themselves out in their knife's reflection? Instant turn off. Taking care of your appearance is one thing, but self-obsession is another so find the balance FFS.

8. Come on too strong

Obvs if you're interested, show it. But don't turn into a creep who won't take no for an answer. There's a fine line and if it's crossed, our legs are going to remain crossed indefinitely.

9. Offer unwanted life advice

As a straight woman, I've had men do this to me SO. MANY. TIMES. There's a number of dudes out there who will either try to mansplain your own career to you, or patronisingly offer advice for your life in general. To avoid royally peeing off your date, keep your unwanted advice to yourself, ta.

How do you tell if a girl wants to kiss you?

Gauge how she reacts to your touch. If she stiffens or pulls away, that's a sign she's not yet comfortable, and going in for a kiss now probably won't go well. If she blushes, giggles, or smiles, those are signs she's comfortable with you and would possibly be receptive to a kiss. More items...

Article Summary

X

It can be tough to tell if a girl wants to kiss, but you can figure out if you should make a move by reading her body language to gauge her enthusiasm. When the 2 of you talk, pay attention to how she is engaging in the conversation. Is she maintaining eye contact? Does she smile and laugh at your jokes? If so, she probably feels comfortable being around you. As the date goes on, notice if she tries to prolong it by going to different places like a park or to get coffee. This is a good sign she’s enjoying the date and might be into a goodnight kiss. Her body language is just as important as what she says, so take note if she uses any opportunity to give you light touches on the arm or shoulder.
