5 Guys You Won’t Date Twice

There are several different types of people and personalities that walk this earth and the degree of variation between bachelor prospects is vast.  Most of what you learn about people is observed over time, as you get to know them– dating provides opportunities to determine if you’d like to get to know someone better.   Some first dates lead to second & third dates & so on.  But other first dates… are with these guys… whom you decide to never go out with again…

the Cheap Guy
He knew he asked you out for dinner and a movie.  He should have scheduled it during a pay week, instead of pulling a “Thurgood” from Half Baked.    No disrespect to budget awareness, but when he suggested the 2 for $20 (or other set price) as the waitress was present,  while you clearly mentioned to him you wanted to order a specific dish not featured on THAT menu & the movie was “Avatar” on his cricKet phone, you decided you weren’t going out with him again.

the Stupid Guy
While his initial conversation when you met was intriguing enough to agree to a date, it was also apparently too brief.  During the rendez-vous, you realize the knowledge barrier between the two of you is as great as the wall in China and soon see that conversations above the remedial 9th grade level will not be happening.  You think to yourself, “did he just pronounce tilapia like that?” followed by,“hmmph, I am never going out with this fool again.”

the Poorly-Dressed Guy
You got dolled up in fabulous heels & flawless makeup and he shows up looking like (as my grandmother used to say): Who Shot John.  True- his rugged construction look may have been more than half the reason you gave him your phone number, but his dusty, circa 2001 clothing and dirty nails are not making you swoon at one of the city’s hot lounge spots.  He may have the ability to lay pipe, but will receive the no-call-back-treatment for his evening plumber apparel.

the Too Early for Sexual Innuendos Guy
While it may or may not be true that women know upon first glance if they will get it on with you, this guy ruins ANY chances by being extra and over-the-top.  Clearly, he has not mastered being suave, but thinks his compliments-coupled-with-sly-remarks are helping him out on this first date When it’s finally over and you’re minding your manners and thank him for a “lovely” evening, you end up thanking him once again for complimenting your gorgeous hair & cringe internally at his ump-teenth mention of wanting to pull it as you vow to remove this guy from your memory bank and dating pool.

the Pulls His Penis Out Guy
I honestly don’t know where the audacity comes from, but haven’t we all seen it? (pun intended).   Right in the middle of having an enjoyably normal and engaging first date, he whips out his junk.  What was it about your dialogue on music genres that waved the “bring the man meat out” flag in his brain?  and honestly, WHY was he so proud to display that 1-hander?? Ugh, completely turned off & with nothing left to your imagination– you change his name in your contacts list to “DNA” (Do Not Answer) as soon as he puts the trouser worm away.

As single ladies, we encounter so many different types of people in pursuit of the perfect love connection.  Luckily, there are some weirdo guys like the five above who eliminate themselves early, so we don’t have to waste our time.  At the end of the day, it’s all about impressions– weren’t we ALL taught the same old adage about never getting a second chance to make first ones?
