Loading ...10 Ways To Lose A Date.
Here are 10 common dating mistakes that guys usually make. Is it any wonder why they can’t get to the second date, let alone the third? Where did they learn these things? They must be learning them from Hollywood movies and fairytales. Make sure you avoid making these mistakes and your first date will go smooth sailing.
1. Using vulgar language. This should be cut out of your vocabulary at least for the night. Chicks may dig the long ball, but not the vulgar language. Try not to be Bruce Willis’ Die Hard character John McClane (Yipee Kai Yay…you know the rest!). Cool for the movies, but not in real life. It is a turn off to women because they want a man that is classy and this is one of the ways to show that you are.
2. Having no sense of humor. Even though her jokes aren’t funny, laugh at them anyway. Tease your date like you were at the school playground. I used to tease my tall date frequently. I would tell her that she isn’t tall enough to go out with me. Then I’d call her next time and ask, “Did you grow taller yet?” I still miss that girl, because she was the only one that I found that always laughed at my jokes. Even if your date is sarcastic, come back with another sarcastic line.
3. Having poor conversation skills. So how’s the weather? What do you do for a living? How many brothers and sisters do you have? No! No! No! See how boring these conversations are. Your date will be yearning for the night to be over in no time. Instead, work on your conversation skills. Ask her about something else that she can describe like her shoes, jewelry, nails, purse. Once you get her talking, she will go on and on without stopping. Just listen intently and ask questions from the stories that she is telling you.
4. Having poor table manners. Slurping soup, eating fast and talking with your mouth full are just some of the ways that you can turn off your date with your bad table manners. Also, don’t forget to serve her first or offer her some of your food. Try playing around with her by trying to feed her.
5. Being chronically late. Your date may forgive you for the first time but others won’t. How often does a business hire an employee who was late for their interview? Almost never! So just remember, if you are late, give them a call and let them know how long before you are going to arrive.
6. Being forgetfull. Try to remember what your date says and take an interest in it. For example, she told you on your last date that she doesn’t drink. On this date she just finished this funny story about how her friend got drunk in Vegas. You then proceed to ask her,”Did you drink?” You just set off the big bomb!
7. Having opposite tastes. This can be anything from the music you listen to, to the books she reads and the movies she watches. So how can you avoid this? There is a technique called mirroring. Basically, it is a technique where you agree that you have something in common. For example, she says,”Oh, I love that movie Serendipity!” Just go along with her and tell her that you love that movie too (even though you hate it).
8. Wearing bad wardrobe. Ok, all you have to remember is the famous saying: “Dress to impress.” Sorry to break this secret to you but, women are just as into looks as guys are. So if you want the date to go well, you better look like a million bucks. You also better be good at matching colors as this goes hand in hand with dressing well.
9. Having a bad haircut. You don’t have to have the hair style of Fabio. But at least have a hairstyle that is decent. Try not to have something too out of the ordinary like a mohawk. If that happens, I suggest you fire the hair cutter from supercuts and have him practice on your shaggy dog.
10. Having opposing political views. The only way to avoid this is to not talk about it. Politics is a very sensitive issue so don’t go there.
