First dates are never easy…
There’s no way around it, the first date is an awkward time for many people, you’re probably doing a lot of perspiring, nervous twitching and laughing a little bit too hard at their jokes to make a good impression.
Let’s not even get started on how you end the date…
A new survey by the people over at iWhiteInstant have conducted a study which could make your dating life a little easier. They’ve investigated the biggest turn-offs for people on a first date.
In a survey of over 2,000 people, they compiled a list of the five most off-putting things for people on a first date.
- 77% were turned off by a cheesy pick up line
- 65% by imperfect teeth
- 64% were turned off by someone paying too much attention to their phone
- 53% were off put by arrogance
- 52% by poor personal hygiene
While some of these can’t be immediately fixed, if you avoid the crappy lines, stay off your phone, wash yourself and generally don’t be a dick, you will probably get on alright.
And there’s still some good news, over half those surveyed admitted that they’d gone on to date someone they’d initially been turned off by.
There’s hope for us all yet, we even have a guide to help.
