30 People Share What Their Date Said That Made Them Instantly Think 'Run!'

While it’s hard to cater to everyone’s wishes, knowing the most common deal-breakers out there can be useful for those looking to improve their second date chances. Some scientists did everyone a favor and put it all in a paper.

They determined 6 different deal-breaker types and surveyed a bunch of people to know the trends. The types are:

• Being gross – having poor hygiene, being unattractive, STDs.
• Being addicted – having substance abuse issues, smoking, having a criminal past.
• Being clingy – acting jealous and controlling.
• Being promiscuous – having too many casual or serious partners.
• Being apathetic – showing a lack of attention and trustworthiness, dismissing a partner’s interests.
• Being unmotivated – lacking ambition or financial prospects, having different worldviews. 

While the deal-breakers varied depending on whether people were looking for a short-term relationship or a long-term commitment, the worst offender was the same, and that is being apathetic. In other words, even if you have forgotten to put some deodorant on, you might still get a pass if you show genuine interest in your date.

But don’t expect to get too far while being stinky. Being gross is the second red flag on the list, followed by being clingy, addicted, unmotivated, and promiscuous. So, take a shower, relax, quit smoking, sort out your goals in life, and be selective with who you date, and you’ll be the perfect date. Honestly, after doing so much work on yourself, you’ll probably be too perfect for dating, so enjoy single life!
