WendInTheWillows posted:-Talking/bitching about an ex is a big turn-off. Unless I have gotten to know this person quite well, doing this on a first (or even second date) is just not on.
- Complaining about anything: money/love/sexual or health problems.......God, I have had that happen over a beautiful dinner & I could not wait to get the Hell outta there! Talk about a mood-killer.
Once again "YES!" to the talking about exes: My recent ex was like that, it didn't bother me at first, cause she didn't talk about them in a high standard, more like telling me about bad dates or being treated poorly by an ex. One discussion is fine, but when it becomes a major topic for them, it makes them look like their whole lives have been nothing but dating and that's it, but it's also the baggage factor as well...shit, we've all had horrible relationships and dates, doesn't mean we're going to talk about them and wear them on our sleeve, especially on a date with somebody new, what is wrong with people?
And the Money/Love/Health problems, I've come across them, the health ones are really difficult, there's nothing wrong with having troubles and bouts with health, but when it becomes like a major sympathetic topic of discussion early on, it definitely kills the mood. I once picked up a date and she showed me around her apt and then when it came to her bathroom she pointed to her cabinet and said, "yeah, I take WAY TOO many pills...it's like a Pharmacy in there" *Sighs* now that's a way to my heart
I just wonder if people actually understand what "1st Impressions" really means....
Since Heather reminded me, I'll add Bad Kissers, that's most definitely in the TOP 10 Deal Breakers!
