| 10 Turnoffs that Make Great Gals Wave Goodbye By Jeff Cohen
Special to Yahoo! Personals Updated: Nov 11, 2007 Most guys know from the get-go whether or not they see potential in a woman. There's that inner voice that tells you this is someone worth pursuing. When the first date ends, you're not even thinking about playing games. You know you want a second date. You wait your standard two days, call to set up that date and get the dreaded voicemail. You leave a heartfelt message, but after three days it becomes clear this great gal is not calling you back. Where did you go wrong? Were you the only one feeling sparks over lattes? Top 10 turnoffs for women Maybe the answer is to learn the top 10 turnoffs that make great gals wave goodbye. If any of these fictional guys sound like you, it's time to change your approach. Great Gal Turnoff #1: Showboat Sammy Maybe he owns a yacht off the coast of France. Maybe he has a timeshare in the Hamptons. Maybe his annual bonus is bigger than most guys' salaries. That's all well and good, but does it really need to be divulged on the first date? Great Gal Turnoff #2: Messy Melvin A-list celebrities can pull off the unkempt look. First-daters need to pay attention to shaving, clothing and bad breath. If the guy can't even put in the effort for a first impression, it doesn't bode well down the road. Great Gal Turnoff #3: Rude Ricky "Where's our drinks, lady?" If a guy treats the service staff with a lack of respect, a great gal will likely assume he'll do the same to her someday. The last thing anyone wants is to be talked down to or disrespected. The last thing anyone wants is to be talked down to or disrespected. Great Gal Turnoff #4: Cheapie Charlie There will always be debate about who should pay on a first date. Some guys are traditionalists and want to foot the bill; others expect a 50-50 monetary split. In most cases, offering to pay is the way to go. Let her pick up the tab on a future date. Great Gal Turnoff #5: Still-Married Michael Marriage, separation and divorce are pretty cut-and-dry terms. If a guy says he's separated when he really means he's cheating on his wife, it's going to cause trouble. Be honest from the get-go and let the dating chips fall where they may. Great Gal Turnoff #6: Hands-On Howie Guys need to read the signals before assuming hand holding, massaging and other touchy-feely activities have the green light. Jumping too quickly to any form of intimacy can make any guy seem too aggressive. Jumping too quickly to any form of intimacy can make any guy seem too aggressive. Great Gal Turnoff #7: Stereotyping Stephen "Oh, you're one of those types of women." Jumping to conclusions about a date from the way she answers one or two questions is a definite mistake. Let the date unfold before making assumptions about someone you just met. Great Gal Turnoff #8: Distracted David His cell phone is ringing constantly, he's popping away from the table every 10 minutes, and he keeps interrupting the conversation flow. First dates require focused attention -- that means putting the phone on vibrate, making eye contact and being present. Great Gal Turnoff #9: All-Business Barry Some guys are great salesmen or outstanding negotiators. But there's a time and place for business and a time and place for leisure. Guys who treat first dates like business transactions will never close the deal. Great Gal Turnoff #10: Nervous Ned He can't sit still, he's banging his fork on the table, and he won't make eye contact for more than three seconds. Nervous antics are a real turnoff and make a great gal think a guy has something to hide. Work out the nervous kinks before the date starts. Jeff Cohen is the author of "Dating, Inc.," a that shows women a step-by-step plan for finding true love using the same skills that already make them successful at work. Jeff has appeared on CNN, CBS, and Voice of America, and been interviewed by USA Today, Daily News, Denver Post, the Chicago Tribune, the Boston Herald, and Martha Stewart Living Radio. He earned degrees in marketing from the Wharton School of Business and psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and readily admits taking charge of his love life through a game plan that included 77 blind dates before he found the one. Right here waiting for you Oceans apart, day after day And I slowly go insane I hear your voice, on the line But it doesn't stop the pain If I see you next to never how can we say forever (chorus) Wherever you go, whatever you do I will be right here, waiting for you Whatever it takes, or how my heart breaks I will be right here waiting for you I took for granted, all The times That I thought would last somehow I hear the laughter, I taste the tears But I can't get near you now Oh can't you see it baby, You've got me going crazy (chorus) I wonder how we can survive, this romance But in the end if I'm with you, I'll take the chance Oh you can't see it baby You've got me going crazy (chorus) The hottest songs from Bryan Adams |
