Things guys can’t stand on a date
I have spoken to many students about their pet peeves when on a date. Usually the ladies are shocked at some of the pet peeves from the guys and since I’m a guy, I thought I’d enlighten you on some things that tend to get on a guy’s nerves…
• The girl keeps using her phone: if you are texting and talking to someone else other than your date, this shows the guy he is less important. The fellas want your full attention, that’s why they are out on a date with you. Turn your phone off on the date and give the guy some respect
• The girl dresses immodestly: When this one was brought to my attention, they didn’t use the word immodest, ladies. When I asked them why, they said although they liked to know they were with someone that was attractive, they spent half the date worrying about other guys checking out their girl. Some of the guys got into fights with other guys simply because the girl chose to wear a low-cut shirt, short-shorts, etc. They are dumb to fight for sure, but keep in mind that you are doing more harm than good and attracting attention that sends mixed signals. There is a difference in dressing attractive and trying to be seductive.
• Bad table manners: Ladies, guys can get turned off and grossed out just as much as you. The guys have told me about instances where the girl spits out her gum and leaves it on the plate, or spits out food obviously, and sometimes doesn’t do that in a napkin, but back on the plate. They have told me of messy eaters, slouching in her seat, eating with her fingers, all kinds of pet peeves that gross them out. Something to think about
• Playing indecisive: He asks you where you want to go, what you want to do and your response is: I don’t know/I don’t care. Then he picks something and you tell him no, so he picks something again, and you tell him no. He has to go through a list of places for 20 minutes before you finally decide where you want to go. Guys I have spoken to really can’t stand that. If you have no opinion, then don’t get mad at the guy for making a choice. Speak up.
Would anyone care to add to these from the guys perspective? Ladies, do you have some of your own?
