There is nothing worse than a bad first date. You'll be sitting across from them wondering 'when can I leave', or 'how does this person even exist?' When it comes to first dates we're all about spotting those red flags. Fact of the matter is, if they're being weird or showing red flags on a first date you don't wanna know what they'd be doing by date 6.

Here are 20 turn offs that people do on dates:

Being Late

okay, I understand sometimes we all run late. But if your date is over 10 minutes late to a first date that's just rude. As a punctual German, there is nothing I hate more than lateness.

Bad Manners: 

Are they being rude to the waiter? Are they eating with their mouth full and elbows on the table? Either way ... no thank you. ‍

‍Speaking over you 

‍Okay, this is incredibly annoying and so rude. There is nothing worse than you dating someone speaking over you.

Ex talk

‍First dates are meant to be fun. No one wants to hear about an ex that you're probably not over.

‍Boasting 

Is there anything worse than someone who keeps boasting about their job and achievements? There's no need to whack out the diploma, olympic medal and several references on a date.

Awkward silence

‍ Is there anything more awkward than sitting in silence with someone you don't know? Nothing worse than struggling to find conversation in your head.

‍Talking too much 

‍Apparently some people just feel the need to present a monologue .

Phone 

If someone goes on their phone on a first date, I instantly judge them a bit. Unless it's an emergency, there is really no reason why you can't go an hour not using your phone.

Poor hygiene

Hygiene is important. If a date looks like they haven't showered then I defo don't want to kiss them and defo don't wanna know what their downstairs situation is like.

Shots 

‍If a person wants to get super drunk on a first date, I look at that as a big red flag.

Lying

Ever been on a date with someone where you can just tell they're lying? Yup, Thank u, next.

Crossfit

No one wants to hear about how you found yourself in crossfit or your workout diet.

Not listening

Sometimes when you're talking to someone you can tell they just aren't listening and honestly, no thanks.

The lad 

‍ I've been on a number of dates where the person gets all lad like and constantly is talking about 'the boys', and their desire to drink out of shoes?

Babe

If someone calls me babe or honey I'm out.

The stoner 

Do I really need to say anything about this?

Money Talk

I find it a massive red flag if someone keeps talking about money on the first date. It's just not appropriate.
