I recently came across an article about dating turn-offs and I didn’t love it. So I thought I’d do my own list. Feel free to add on to my list—and let me know what your dating no-no’s are. Here are mine:
- The only reading he does is the track list of the Yeezus album (By the way, Born Sinner was better and I don’t support Kanye). Here’s the thing: I’m an avid reader. Reading is sexy. I don’t date guys that don’t read!
- Video games are his only form of exercise. Sorry, playing NBA 2K13 on your XBOX does not count as a sport. He doesn’t have to have abs like David Beckham, but I will not date a couch potato.
- He doesn’t know how to express himself without dropping an F bomb every few seconds.
Some guys have the most triflin ways try and get a woman’s number and attention. So…
There Won’t Even be a 1st Date if…
- He doesn’t understand the concept of personal space. I have issues when guys touch me when we first meet. You may disagree with me on this one, but I have a thing for personal space. If I don’t know you don’t touch me! Don’t put your arm around me. Don’t hug me. Keep your hands to yourself.
- He says “Aye” or “Come here” (or something along the lines of the dog in the 1st picture) to get my attention. That is so rude! I don’t respond well to commands or shouts from strange men on the streets. If you want to talk to me—move your ass over to where I’m standing.
- He makes comments about my body before he knows my name. Some guys seem to think it’s a turn on to comment on body parts to get a woman’s attention. But really it shows exactly what’s on their minds. Also, if someone comments on a part of my body as an opening line, it feels as if they are not seeing me as a whole person.
- He comes to the door with his pants sagging. Seriously? Grow the hell up! I’m not 100% sure when this trend became popular, but I remember my friends sagging their pants in 5th grade. It’s not cool anymore (I’m not sure it ever was). Let that trend die please.
- He’s old enough to be my father. The audacity of some older men! I am in my early 20’s and prefer not to date too much older than myself. I know some women prefer to date older, but if you can remember the Korean War—back up.
- He doesn’t know the definition of NO.
Can I have it? Can I have it?
For some odd reason, some guys seem to think that if they ask for my number several times in other ways, I will give it to them. It’s like, you asking again and stressing your desire to have it is not going to make me change my mind.
Am I forgetting any major 1st/2nd date turn offs? What are your major deal breakers?

You pretty much covered all the basics with two exceptions. Eye contact at all times during an initial meeting. That action speaks volumes. And then there is the teeth. If a guy meets you while he is eating and he takes the time to do a quick tonge clean, yeah. If not, bad. If he’s not eating and the teeth are full of debris or just really unclean, RUN ! He’s looking for someone you never want to be.
