10+ First dates that instantly ended because of red flags: 'I walked straight out the front door'

Here's a comprehensive list of all the things you shouldn't do on your first date

On date #1, you'd think most people would be on their very best behavior.

You would think they would show up clean and smelling good, dressed nicely, and ready to make the other person feel comfortable.

That's like, the very barest minimum, right?

But no, as you'll read about here, a lot of people seem to self-sabotage their first dates.

Maybe it's because they're nervous… And in some cases, they're just not very nice people.

It's truly shocking how quickly these dates went downhill.

Sometimes a single sentence ended the date! In some cases, one person literally stood up and left!

I can't imagine the dating pool is enthusiastic about dating a guy with 5 kids, let alone a guy who lies about it first.
Oop!

At least people will tell you who they are pretty quickly! If you can hear them the first time they tell you about themselves, you'll save yourself a lot of time and heartbreak.

The biggest fumble for this guy

via ShedMontgomery

This is a very, very common mistake that I see on first dates! Some guys get really flustered and nervous and try to sell themselves to you. They really want you to know everything about them so you can judge them positively, I suppose. But at the end of a date where you've listened for 90 minutes and barely got a word in edgewise, it makes you think that they don't actually need your company after all. Gotta have some give and take!

Very impolite! It's not a job interview

There's a lot of overlap between job interviews and dates, but you really could make some mental notes when you're on that date instead.
