Some people want to be single for the holidays, it's less expensive. Other people want to be coupled for the holidays, it's less lonely.

If you're looking to be snuggling up to someone next to a fire by Christmas, you should probably be on a date like right now.

And if you're on a first date, or even a second or third, there are a few things you might want to refrain from doing if you want to see this person ever again.

The Mirror, a British website came up with these 18 things you don't want to do on a date, and they look pretty accurate to me. The reasons behind the items are pretty entertaining too.

 

The worst behaviours guaranteed to not get you a second date...
  • 1. Forgetting their name mid date..
  • 2. Eating like a pig
  • 3. Lateness
  • 4. Counting calories at the table
  • 5. Chewing with your mouth open
  • 6. Burping
  • 7. Running out of conversation topics
  • 8. Only talking about yourself
  • 9. Or worse, talking about your ex
  • 10. Inviting your friends along
  • 11. Talking about long term plans/marriage/children
  • 12. Choosing a bad date location
  • 13. Getting really drunk
  • 14. Being on your phone
  • 15. EATING GARLIC
  • 16. Checking other people out
  • 17. Being rude to waiters/bar staff
  • 18. Arguing over the bill

The author has a few pretty funny asides for each item, including #13, if you're both drunk then it's fair game.

Which one of these is your biggest turn-off?
