Dating Dealbreakers...

When deciding whether or not to accept another date, what is it that totally turns you off? Calls from his mother? Smoking? He doesn't believe in leaving tips? lol-what is that one thing that totally breaks the deal for you?

Well I do have a list as it so happens. LOL Smoking definitely. And wanting kids, because I sure as heck don't at this point in my life! Also people who want to jump into a full blown relationship after one date.

Chewing with their mouth open/talking with food in their mouth, swearing, being rude to wait staff and telling off-color jokes would never get you a 2nd date with me!.

Smoking, drug use, or even mentioning that he has either habit. Racial slurs. Being cheap... ie not paying, suggesting going dutch, not tipping, or pitching a fit about the bill.

I had a guy once tell me that "he felt like he had known me all his life" and that was about 20minutes into the first date.
