First signs of a bad first date

I'm only starting this thread because I thought it would be kinda funny reading others thoughts on how you can determine if the first date is going to be a good one, or a bad one. I've read articles before, that people can usually tell if the date is going to be a good one or a bad one within the first 5 minutes into the date. I'm not sure how it is for guys, but for me, and a lot of my friends and classmates that I've talked to, I can tell within the 1st five minutes easily. Well, we've all had bad first dates and we've had good ones. But we all have different reasons as of why we would date that person again, or why we wouldn't date that person again. When you meet someone, and then make plans for a 1st date, what are some of the things, whether it's the way that person carries a conversation, the clothes that person wears, etc etc. that make you say to yourself "There's no way whatsoever, I'm going out with this "person" again".

eta: examples pleeeease...

*Any mention of your kids or babymamas.

*Anytime a guy says "Oh I don't read."

*Overly metrosexual appearance.

When a conversation starts like this:

"Well I went to federal prison, but I took the blame so my ex-wife wouldn't have to go..."

The guy was 30 and had been to prison and had been married. They got divorced after he was locked up. True story.

lol

I don't know why, but if his car is junky, we're done. And yes, no kids, just to start. Or if he talks about himself a lot.

Oh, and as for his appearance, I don't really like earrings, nose rings etc...and/or tattoos.

1. Her flatulence is louder and smellier than mine
2. Dragonbreath from Newports
3. She stays on her phone talking to her girlfriend
4. She asks for my credit report and I just picked her up from her mama's house
5. The conversation goes into the "all men are dogs" territory.
6. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ "Well my ex used to do this why don't you do this?" territory
7. She is checking out the waitress that you are checking out.
8. She brings along her kid...to a bar (this actually happened to me...LOL)
9. They are late.
10. If it's a blind date and the picture is 50lbs to 100lbs less than what you see in front of you.
10a. And is in a hoe dress

Dang CG...I have ear rings and tattoos...I guess I would never have a chance!!

UGH. Ditto the phone thing. This drives me crazy when friends do it too.

*Talking about money (either how much you have or how broke you are).

*Referring to exes as "psycho." Chances are good that your last relationship did not end solely because she was "crazy." I never buy that.

*Detailed discussion of exes and/or repeated name-dropping of one ex.

*Excessive discussion about drinking/partying. If every story you tell starts with "This one time, I was really wasted..." it's not going to work out.

*Lack of tangible career goals. Ex: "I'm working on getting my band off the ground" is not a career goal.

*Constant discussion of ones' material possessions. Ex: your car, TV, condo, etc.

*Music snobbery. If you ask me what bands/groups/artists I like, I tell you, and you launch into some big spiel about how they're "sellouts" or how you "don't get how that's considered music" it's not going to work out.

1. He swears. I don't mind if people swear normally, but don't just start dropping the f-bomb the first time you go out with me.
2. He doesn't put effort into what he's wearing (this guy showed up once in sweats)
3. He sits his phone on the table while we're talking/having dinner. AND if he starts to text or answers a call that doesn't result in him having to run out because it's an EMERGENCY.
4. You ask me to pay the tip. Do I mind normally? NO! But if you can't afford to pay the tip, you probably shouldn't be dating!
5. He doesn't walk me to my car after the date.
6. He talks about himself or his exes too much.
7. If he starts talking about how he wants an "independent woman"
8. If he starts talking about how he doesn't 'do' drama (It's my experience that either they don't know what they mean by saying 'drama' or THEY are the ones who lead drama filled lives).
