    I was a little turned off when the guy suggested marriage on the first date.

    Ewww, that's gross! :tongue:

    If he wants to show you how he feels about you, tells you to trust him and proceeds to take your hand, don't let him put it on his wiener.

    My top 3 worst first day encounters...

    Guy that expected me to pay for both of us because I suggested that we meet up ... didn't even suggest going "Dutch". That just screams ignorant and self-absorbed to me when it's coming from a guy.

    The several guys that have proclaimed they were falling in love with me after spending a couple hours together. Desperation is disgusting, huge turnoff.

    And last but not least, the guy that invited me to a rave to roll with him after getting a coffee... yeah, no.

    Being attached to their phone. Put it down, pay attention to me.
    Talking too much about life problems. I don't need a daily update that you still haven't sold the house you bought with your ex.
    Not being able to tell if you're not on the same page as the other person. You both like each other and like long good-byes? Cute. You're still trying to figure out where it's going and they kiss you from the front door to your car? Smother me some more why don't you!

    That's a problem?? LOL

    Not being honest about intentions. Don't claim you're looking for a soulmate (blech) when you really just want to hook up.

    My first date with a guy on Friday as we are eating:

    Him: "Oh. I shouldn't have ordered brocolli. It makes me fart."
    Me: **staring in shock**
    Him: "Let's hope I don't fart."
    Me: **face palm**

    He's 35. Quite possibly why he's single.

    I don't really believe in rules, like you can't do this or talk about this until date 3 or whatever. Just be who you are. That's either going to make the guy really uncomfortable (if he's douchey and trying to play the whole thing like he's following a script), or he's going to be relieved to discover that this doesn't have to be a dog and pony show and that you can just relax and learn something useful about each other. All of the awkwardness and "What am I allowed to say?" stuff tends to go away when you stop pretending and just be real.

    I've never had a date bring a spouse, but I have found out that they have one, after we are out. Nope. Not cool.

    So then, just saying off the bat.....
    "You, me and a hotel room...."

    That should do it??
