I definitely hate it when a date doesn't even pay attention to you, or even SEEM interested at all. Or if they only want to go out drinking, and party, and not just have a nice lunch of some sort. Call me old school, but I actually like it when I pay for their food, but they insist or force to pay for their own. Idk if any other guy has that problem.

It bothers me when men label themselves and repeatedly bring up in conversation, "I don't like this because I'm..." It's like getting an explanation of why you are instead of who you are. Even if you're brave enough to admit your phobia of clowns, its not necessary to end every sentence with "because clowns freak me out." It comes off as an insecurity or that you're expecting a reaction. So if you...steer clear of tents, large gatherings make you nervous, the smell of popcorn makes you gag, and you do double takes when you catch brightly colored clothing out of the corner of your eye all in one conversation with every sentence ending in "because clowns freak me out." It becomes harder to get to know you because you've just labeled yourself the guy that clowns freak out. Sharing personal information is great but repeating in excess is not necessary.

first date peeves- my biggest would have to be being expected to jump into bed with someone I just met. If you think about it- this person obviously lives on the std side of sex, if they are prepared to have sex with you after just meeting you, would you really think you're the only one? Would you consider having unprotected sex with them? Not me, I want to get to know the person first and keep my body healthy. I know my worth.

One for me would be lack of conversation. Without conversation, it makes getting to know the person difficult.

Texting, phones, shyness- im sorta shy on dates but with them being shy as well its harder for me to talk. I can be a talkaholic i just need help getting started sometimes when the first few things i say dont make sense.
Comparing to ex boyfriends.
Comparing to serial killers from tv shows.
Um , I dunno, dont have any bad experiences really, just some things I don't think I'd like.

lol. id have to say my pet peeve is when the guy is a bit too clingy/creepy. like "hey lets hang out every day of our lives!" lol. then it just kinda seems stalkerish lol. i also hate it when the conversation runs low... its a bummer if your just sitting there and you have nothing to say or do. but then again i guess thats a clue that you arent clicking well lol.

Negativity.

I understand you may had a bad day at work. Yet, if your gonna be in a bad mood on a date, then don't go on the date. I rather wait and have you when your cheerful and in a good mood.

Just remember it's okay to reschedule. But, on that same note, don't do it last minute or too often.

1. Mobile Fone. Unless is an emergency.. LEAVE IT!!! lmao
2. No eye contact. Well least i know the DATE isnt interested. There and then i cut it short and say goodbye.
3. Late. If not turn up within 10 mins of the agreed time, without TXT msg saying anything.. Im outta here.. DATe will have to find someone else to date with
4. Agreeing on everything i say. That makes me wondered if you have any opinion at all!.. BORING!!
5. Txting straight after to say lets meet again.. but never kept the promise. Ladies. IF ya do that.. KEEP THE PROMISE. or we will label you as "time wasters"
6. Not Being Yourself. Fer gawds sake.. what makes ya think i want a Britney Spears? *vomits*

There.. thats my pet peeve about dates.. so far...

[MissPiggy]

1) Your mom or best friend dropping you off
2) Russian hands and Roaming fingers
3) Making the girl pay for the meal/snacks
4) If she has kids, never asking about them or interested in them
5) Abusive/obnoxious behavior to anyone including animals
6) No Manners
7) Expecting to get in my bed the first date
8) Talking about previous GF's

These are just a few of my pet peeves

txting I can't stand it when girls text while on a date, it's rude. Really bad impression for me. And when they txt while im in the middle of saying something or if its while they are saying something and abruptly stop, txt and then continue lol hate it.
