Bad dates happen! Its all part of the process. Its actually required that about 1 out of 10 dates are bad so that you have stories to entertain your friends with.
But if you're trying to get a second date you'll want to avoid doing these things so as not to scare off your potential partner.
- Talking about your ex or past relationships.
- Being late -- whether you give them a heads up or not.
- Having your phone out or texting someone else.
- Talking about one topic too much.
- Being rude to servers.
- Not tipping well.
- Shutting down if you decide you're not interested.
