Signs That The First Date Should Be The Last Date

First dates are fun, exciting and also full of anxiety. We all hope that first dates will go well, but sometimes they don't. The following are four things that may happen on a first date that probably won't lead to a second date:

1. He talked non-stop about himself

This is a quality that many people possess. While it's fine for someone to talk about themselves, it's not okay to do only that. A date is comprised of two people, each trying to get to know the other. If you try multiple times to talk about yourself and he easily interrupts your story with a story about himself, it might not be worth going on a second date. If you want to give him a second chance, talk on the phone or email and see if he still only talks about himself. If you're brave enough you could certainly mention your concern about his lack of interest in you, but chances are it's nothing you should take personally. He's probably like that with everyone.

2. He bitched about his ex

You ordered a steak at dinner and your date seemed quite impressed. Then he launched into a rant about how his ex-girlfriend of four years ate nothing but salads. Everything you do on your date he seems to turn into a complaint about his ex. It's not only a downer on your date, but being compared to someone else is annoying.

3. He wasn't a gentleman

He didn't open any doors for you and he seemed to need a refresher course in manners. Basic manners are a must from anyone. It's just not attractive when someone can't say a simple "please" or "thank you." While you certainly don't expect your date to be a knight in shining armour, you should certainly expect him to treat you differently than he treats his male friends.

4. He talked about sex

There is little to no reason for this on a first date. Even if he's asking if you have sex on the first date, it's inappropriate. If he asks how many people you've been with or your personal preferences this is definitely not acceptable first date conversation. It's wrong for a date to simply assume that anyone will so casually talk about such topics.

A first date is the time when you're trying to make a good first impression on each other. If your date does any of the above, it's perfectly fine for you not to accept a second one.
