Ladies !! These Are Things You Shouldn't Do On A First Date by prettytasha(f): 7:06am On Jun 20, 2015
1.
DON’T be wishy-washy.
Nobody—and we mean nobody—likes a pushover,
so if your date tells you he’s planned dinner at a
sushi joint and you don’t eat fish, or he wants to
hang at a cocktail lounge but you don’t drink,
speak up. It’ll only look weird if you tell him all
that after you’re already seated and waiting to
order. Same goes for being decisive: If he asks
what you’d like to eat, drink, or share for dessert,
don’t say “I don’t care, whatever is fine.”
Verbalizing what you want isn’t bossy, it conveys
confidence—and is incredibly attractive. Having the
personality of tepid water, however? Not so much.

2
DON’T show up late on purpose.
On a first date, you’ll make a stronger impression
if you show up on time. Would you want him to
show up late? Probably not. Huh? It takes you two
hours to do your hair and makeup? Sounds like
you’re perfectly aware of that fact, which means
you’ll know exactly how much time you need to
prepare ahead of time, even if it’s five hours (no
judgment!)

3.
DON’T be surgically attached to your phone.
This is the big one, ladies: The act of compulsively
checking your phone every two minutes could be a
bonafide deal breaker. There’s nothing ruder than
trying to have a conversation with a person who’s
constantly stating at their screens—wouldn’t you
be put off if he were paying more attention to his
iPhone than to you?
While you’re at it, we know it’s commonplace for
folks to keep their cell phones on the table, but it’s
not polite when you’re getting to know somebody.
Responding to every beep, text, alert, and vibration
is distracting and unnecessary. Be mature and
keep it in your bag, and glimpse at it while he
goes to the bathroom, if you must.
Similarly, do not post any status updates, tweet
about your date in real time, or snap any candid
Instagram pics, or post to Snapchat when he’s not
looking. That’s just creepy.

4.
DON’T think it’s cool to not eat.
Most guys will freely tell you that there’s nothing
more cliché (read: lame) than a girl who doesn’t
eat on a date . If you think not ordering dinner, or
only taking a birdlike bite of your entree will make
you appear skinnier , prettier, sexier , more feminine,
or more mysterious, guess what? It won’t. What it
will do? Probably not get you a second date.

5.
DON’T sit there like the Queen of Sheba when the
check comes.
Even if you’re of the firm belief that your date
should always pay, it’s a mistake to assume he
will—especially on the first date. If he goes for the
check right away, offer to split the bill, or at least
leave the tip. He’ll probably decline, so make sure
you offer to get the cab to the next destination, the
movie tickets, or a round of drinks.
However, if you offer to pay or split, be prepared to
actually pay or split. Don’t play games. Not
offering at all, however, could translate to entitled.

6.
DON’T give TMI, too soon.
Sharing personal details about your life after
knowing anyone for 45 minutes is never a good
idea. Want to get married on the beach in Mexico
by the age of 3o, and have a baby boy named
Henry by the age of 32? Keep it to yourself for
now. Similarly, steer clear of personal topics like
your contentious relationship with your mother,
any ailments you have, or major work woes —all
valid, but none are appropriate first date topics.

7.
DON’T stalk him after the date—social, or
otherwise.
In today’s world, texting and catching up via social
media is a viable means of communication after a
date, but there are a few rules we all should follow.
If you had a wonderful time and feel like shooting
him a casual text later that night or the next day,
go for it.
A good text: “Had a really good time, thanks
again!” is fine.
A bad text: “OMG literally had the best time EVER,
ur sooooo amazing and I can’t wait to see u again.
Wanna do brunch with me and my girls
tomorrow??! LMK ASAP xoxox!!!” is not.
In addition, try to resist the urge to follow him on
Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Vine,
Linkedin, or any other conceivable social network
until you’ve gone out a couple of times. Even in
today’s connected world, remaining a creature of
(a little) mystery is a powerful thing..

Don't forget:

Belching loudly in public

Farting loudly

Picking your nose.

Getting too drunk to function as a human.

These are some things that are bad behavior that men do not want to see from a woman. undecided
