Finally the luscious individual you had been longing to date (read lusting for) has agreed to go out with you. It seems like everything is going to be as easy as sleeping on a bed of roses? You’re wrong.
Whether you are a Bradley Cooper look-alike or an average looking guy, here are some blunders that will lead you to be directly in the line of fire and will ruin your chances of a second date.
1. ARRIVING LATE
Even as you make a breathless entry, this will kill your chances by almost 80%. Furthermore, bombarding her with lame excuses about why you were late will reduce your “date-worthy” score even faster.
Nothing irritates a girl more than waiting for her date to show up. Others in the restaurant can easily guess that she is waiting for somebody special and don’t spare her the curious glances. She will end up thinking you don’t value her enough, are irresponsible and not worthy of her attention.
2. DRESSING UP SLOPPILY
So you think you are a “kewl” dude and don’t feel the need to dress smartly for a date. Your girl will surely make it clear that you don’t deserve one!
Land up wearing your rugged t-shirt, jeans that hang loosely and hold on to your backside in a miraculous defiance of gravity and your everyday slippers that you use in the washroom as well and you might just watch her leaving even before you make your first move.
3.BEING RUDE TO THE SERVICE STAFF
Pretend as if your father bought the place only last week and you have total command over all the chaps there. Treat the waiter who’s serving you as a lowly creature, never thank him and talk to him in a tone of voice that makes him wonder about what sin he committed. You won’t even make it to her facebook acquaintances list, forget about being her lover. The girl will end up thinking that you can’t respect people around you and would not want to associate with you in a romantic sense after that.
4.SPEAKING ENDLESSLY
Begin with the interesting circumstances of your birth, move on to the most difficult phases in ur childhood, continue with how you almost became a rockstar (a la Ranbir Kapoor) in college and conclude with your accomplishment that left your parents gawking. Tell her what you think about Baba Ramdev and Anna Hazare. Don’t give her a chance to open her mouth to ask questions (which she probably won’t, considering the amount of information you’re spewing out) or tell you about herself.
She’ll end up thinking you trying to cover up some flaw by talking too much and will conclude that you are too self-centred for her liking.
5.MENTIONING YOUR EX
Boy, that’s a rookie mistake and there is no saving you from this one. It does not matter whether you tell her the good things or the bad things about your previous relationship, no girl likes to hear about the ex. Period.
And all those of you who believe that telling her how badly you were hurt by that evil woman will help you gain some sympathy and brownie points – you’re mistaken. It would only show her that you are a whiner and cannot respect the memory of a past relationship. The girl might even think that you still haven’t moved on.
6.TREATING HER LIKE A PIECE OF MEAT
Screw maintaining a comfortable distance. Sit so close to her that she can count all ur zits. Keep leaning towards her on the pretext that you can’t hear what she’s saying (no matter how loudly she’s speaking), don’t spare a chance to let your arms brush against hers and you are doomed for sure. She will shower you with the same amount of hatred she has for the over-friendly neighbourhood uncle who’s always gazing at her bosom through his glasses.
7.QUESTIONING HER APPEARANCE
Try telling her that she would have looked better had she been a bit taller, fairer, slimmer or whatever you believe your preferences are. Tell her you have suggestions for a better hairstyle that would make her her look hot instantly and just notice her pupils contracting and fists tightening. Young man, you are in for some serious trouble! I wish you luck (although that isn’t going to suffice).
