There’s no other situation like a first date where you’re equal parts uncomfortable and optimistic. Sometimes you get so wrapped up in thinking of the next thing you’re going to say you forget you should be listening to you’re really supposed to listening to your date to see if this relationship has potential.
Since you’re going to a ball of nerves on your next rendezvous, here’s something to help.These are some of the biggest red flags on a first date:
- Rounding The Bases Too Soon.If your date expects you to invite them over for a “nightcap” or a kiss because they paid for your Uber or meal, this is a warning sign that they’re not the type to respect boundaries.Entitlement is a big turn off.
- Rated-R Conversation.Are you not even through appetizers before they start talking about sex? If the way your date is talking to you is lewd even for HBO standards, and it’s making you uncomfortable, try giving them a warning. If they continue to be lewd, it’s probably time to pull the eject cord and get out of that date.
- TMI.A good indication someone is a stage-5 clinger is if they divulge more about their personal life than you know about your closet friends. It’s great to be honest butthere’s a line.
- Mood Swings.Everyone gets a little manic from time to time but if you feel like you’ve dated three different people in one night because of how much their mood has been changing, it’s probably a sign they’re going to make your relationship pretty turbulent.
- Putting the Date in Debate.Is your date conversation seeming more like it should be on CNN? Passion is one thing but it's not a good sign if you’re already debating to the point of screaming at each other. Clearly, your difference of opinion is not going to lead to a happy romance.
- Rude.Make sure your date isn’t only being nice to you but also the wait staff at the restaurant you go to or the barista where you’re having coffee. If they’re rude to strangers on your first date that’s a sign it won’t take long until they’re rude to you as well.
