First signs of a bad first date

- He shows up in a shirt monogrammed/silkscreened with his company's logo (up here in Microsoft country, you wouldn't believe how many guys I went on dates with showed up with MS shirts. It's just really lazy and shows they don't care much about their appearance...and that they don't apparently ever go anywhere nice that requires a non-logo t/shirt.
- He doesn't look at me when I'm talking, or he just looks around the room too much.
- He cancels, unless he's sick or it's a real emergency. Generally I wouldn't reschedule a first date, especially if he wants to cancel for a work-related reason. That's just a preview of what's to come.
- He answers his cell phone.

OMG YES. No, if we are meeting on the east side of the city and you live on the far west side, and we are meeting right after your work...I don't expect you to go the whole way home and change. I do expect you to think about the fact that you're doing something after work and bring a f'ing non-logo shirt along to change into. I may not want everyone to think that I'm taking a business associate out for a thank you dinner.

Not only that, but (sweeping generalization here) many of the guys who do this are fat and sweaty and they need to change into a fresh shirt before a date anyway, regardless of what's on it.
