What turns you off for a bad date? Mine would be:
a) halitosis
b) cheapskate
c) doesn't drive a car
d) doesn't listen
e) horrible, horrible fashion sense (like one time, he actually turned up at my door step in pink Bermuda shorts, thick sunglasses and a straw hat)
Definately (a).
Definately (d). I have a problem with people who toot their own horns.
The car thing...no big deal.
In my experience, the cheapskate tendancy and the bad clothing is revealed after the first date, as most guys put their best foot forward and try to make a good impression on the first date.
..having said all that, I haven't been out in the dating world for a while...who knows, I may be giving it another go in the near future...
LOL....oh my, Michel. This should be in the 'Why I am Single and Probably Going To Be Single For the Rest of My Life' thread.
You sound a little jaded, poor sweetie. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/liebe/d038.gif" border=0]

What does this mean?
b) cheapskate
Definitely! If he asked me out, he pays. I ask him out, I pay. We decided together, we share the costs. I prefer halfers anyways.
c) doesn't drive a car
Not a big deal. I don't mind taking transit or I drive.
d) doesn't listen
Definitely! Especially when he goes on and on and ON about himself and how GREAT he is.
e) horrible, horrible fashion sense (like one time, he actually turned up at my door step in pink Bermuda shorts, thick sunglasses and a straw hat)
Not a biggie for me...he could wear whatever he's comfortable with.
Another habit that I could think of that I wouldn't like is if the guy chatted on his cell phone or text message all the time during the date. I mean, if he had a good reason like he was expecting an important call, I'd understand, but if it's related to work and isn't urgent, then turn off the phone!

GOOD one purelife !
All I'd want is for someone to BE REAL. No games....no false impressions, no putting on the 'first date show', no bait and switch. I wouldn't want to base a decision for a second date on the impressions from a first date, if they weren't being who they are. Who they are is more important to me than what they are. [/DIV]
Don't run away......any thread is open to light badgering, inspired ridiculing and general fun poking. Just remember, that this could be used against you on your dating resume. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)
I hate it when a woman doesn't put out on the first date
I like a girl to just be quiet and show her boobs on the first date. I mean, come on!!

a) yes, only order garlic if you both are.
b) Cheap? Or poor? If a poor bastard doesn't order the best wine in the house, get over it.
c) Most North Americans could use a walk for Christs sakes!
d) Depends...if a girl doesn't shut up, I start daydreaming about chips and salsa and just nod my head.
e) I wouldn't date a girl who is a fashion snob to begin with. I prefer a girl who hates the malls too.
I wasn't going to demonstrate once again how old I am.......but I WAS going to ask what you were doing down there on a first date in the first place. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/liebe/g038.gif[/img]

I hate the malls, Van. Meet? ;)
Threesome ? [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c018.gif[/img] I hate malls too.
Oh wait......I'm not dating. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/3.gif)
Let's call it a "rendez-vous."
-girls talking about their ex's constantly. (high school mentality, come on we are out of high school now, time to grow up) end result: we don't really hang out, I will avoid, not because I don't like the person, I'm just too far removed from high school antics to care. They'll see me as someone who is too old in how I live and go about my life. lol
- Women talking about how men do not want to have a meaningful relationship anymore. (the jaded 20 something who is getting closer or at 30 and is still single) (or the girl who hates all men except you and doesn't trust anyone else except you, but still hates men). (we end up becoming really good friends)
-fashionistas. I don't really care what you wear, but when your life revolves around clothes and the only reason you make money for example, is to buy more clothes. I'm sorry, it's not going to work out. Who wants to be with someone whose real love is clothes. And I'm not a partier. (they become acquiantances)
-must be laid back or else and our personalities must fit or else its the Titanic. (girlfriend)
- No go on the political activist. I don't want to hear how bad I am for buying a coffee from Starbucks every waking moment. I know they screw over people in third world countries, stop preaching to the choir so to speak. Just be reasonable. (we end up becoming really good friends)
- be real, not fake, be who you are, not something you feel you have to be.

*squeezze lick fiddle suck*
Are your glasses steaming up right now, Michel?
I can zip over there in a flash.
Pass me the camera and I'll take it, Michel.
Since when was your name Michael Jackson?
OMG, are you giving us the Red Light Special?
[/div][div]
And I'm afraid of googling that at work... halitosis sounds like biology term meiosis...
If this thread was on DV, do you know what the reply would be from someone..say tenkani?
"This thread makes my panties wet and moist."
Quit feeding the bot, Michel!
.
Right. Nevermind. I think this thread has gone to the gutter and possibly beyond.
Halitosis. Fancy smacy word for bad breath. If a guy has bad breath, it means, he doesn't floss, he probably brushes once a month and then some.
With the cheapskate thing, he's got to spend something special, right? Like not take you out to McPuke for a first night or not get you anything (like flowers) just to say hello? You wanna go out with a guy like that? I think not! He's got to spend a bit of $$ on you. I'm not saying like serious moo-lah but enough to know that you're special. Like buying your dinner on the first date says a lot. I dunno. Just call me old fashion because I kinda like that in a guy.
The driving thing - well, I just want to be driven, not the other way round. It's kinda embarassing to show up with a date that don't drive. OK, at this point, I like to be a princess and be driven around in a carriage. Nevermind that it's an old beat up lemon but just drive the something with wheels.
OK, I like my men in suits. I don't know. There's something to be said about a man in a classic suit or just an open collared neck and good pants. Not some yooboo in baggy sweats and smelly jeans. It just tells me that at least he takes care of himself and will probably wash his own toilet.
Every girl's crazy bout a sharp dressed man !
Hey.....there's nothing wrong with being selective, Lise.
baaaaaa lise lol
the the national advancement for the hoodie, jeans, scruffy beard and sandals crowd protests your post. lol

Then there are some guys who can REALLY drive you up the wall!

Everyone goes for a different look.
I like men who look clean and smell clean on a date...who wear clean clothes that are appropriate for the event or activity.
I'm not much a of a fancypants grrrl, so I don't require a man in a suit unless it's a wedding or a funeral.
Over all, I like good ol plain jeans.....clean of course. I think I like it when I see 'regular dresser guy' in a suit, more than simply saying I like men in suits. There's something sexy about the transformation. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)
Love jeans if they fit the guy.
Once in a while, I get the treat of being in an elevator with a guy who wears D&G cologne in a suit....*sigh* I wished the elevator stopped...
OK, a guy in a jeans is quite sexxxy too. I must say, cowboys are very delicious.

Although..... I'm quite partial to a batsuit. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Teasing/5.gif)

I want to hear from the men. What makes a bad date?
ADD: looking for actual responses.
I think the we guys on here answered that question lil me. lol
