First dates can be super nerve-wracking and scary for people. The pressure is always on when you go on a very first date. However, there is no better way to get to know someone than on a first date.
Sometimes, people show their true colors right away and you can't get away from that hard truth. As the story goes, sometimes the first date is also the last.
catastrophized said lying about having kids is a major red flag. And, she even shared that on one date she went on, the guy actually brought his kids to the restaurant with him after saying that he was "child-free."
xpgx shared that bashing people for their looks or how they appear is a major "nope." Women are more than how they look and their appearance. They have depth, drive, dreams, and so much more than just their makeup and their hair.
spacegirlsummer admitted that a person who talks about their ex is definitely not getting a second date. Especially if they are saying that their ex is super crazy—that's a major issue. No one wants to deal with someone with baggage.
thehotsister said a major red flag on the first date is a person who says racist words and uses them comfortably, like using the N-word in conversation casually. It's definitely not something anyone wants to associate themselves with or be around.
"I got a ton of heat for saying this once, but to be honest the statistics are just not good for police spouses. Also, the type of personality that's attracted to policing is not one I mesh with anyway," shared catymogo.
Louisianimal0418 stated that when a date is rude to the servers or waitstaff, it says a lot about them. Servers are people too, and they definitely do not deserve for anyone to treat them some type of way just to look "cocky."
LetsBeReal24 said she was on a date with a man who said that women who get child support are not independent women. After explaining to her date that a man paying child support is taking care of his children, he still did not agree. Next!
"One time we were playing a little game of 'Would You Rather?' while waiting for our table and his question to me was 'Would you rather be raped or murdered?' and when I said 'Um, absolutely murdered' he said 'Oh… really?'" shared spottysasquatch.
Remote-Radio6323 said that when a guy says that ahe is interested in being in an open relationship or is okay with seeing more than one person at a time, it's a total turn-off and they won't see them again. They are a one-relationship kind of girl.
PrideChix77 said that if they go out on a date and someone is just on their phone, texting or scrolling, they're bound to say bye. It's pretty rude to sit on your phone on a first date when you have someone right in front of you.
Successful-Ad7296 said that when she goes out with a guy who is talking about himself only non-stop and doesn't even ask about her, it's a major red flag. Who wants to be with someone super egotistical all of the time?
BananaSnowflakes88 shared that when a guy brags about how many women he has slept with, it's gross. No one cares or needs to know how many women you have been with—it's rude to kiss and tell.
BelliAmie shared that when someone shows up super late to a date without texting or calling, it is just super inconsiderate. Who wants to sit and wait around for someone? It's definitely not respectful of other's time, and is, quite frankly, rude.
NatureAviation said when you start talking inappropriately on a first date it's a total loss. No one needs to talk about sex and fetishes when they first meet someone. Give it a few dates before you get into that.
bmbmwmfm said that when guys say they have felonies or other criminal charges, it can end up being really bad. Sometimes, you put yourself in some dangerous positions if you don't know the full truth. Better to either get the truth, or run off.
