According to the research, the main turn-offs were bad breath (60% of people thought this), being loud and obnoxious (59%) and talking about an ex during the date (51%). So if you’re the type to drink an entire tube of garlic paste before a date, then rip your top off and scream through a megaphone how much you still love your ex – chances are it won’t go down too well.
If we’re looking at time periods here, then 52% of people admitted to calling time on a date in less than half an hour – “Oh, my cat’s just exploded, I can sense it, I’ve got to go and clean it up” – so the pressure is on to make a good first impression. And you better do it fast. Within 15 minutes if you want that second date. Although that said, the survey also found that people only need around 13 seconds to decide if they were attracted to the other person.
Other findings include that a measley 53% would consider a second date if the other person didn’t live up to expectations, so you’ve got to pull it out the bag on the first go if you want romance to actually blossom. And how to do that? Well, apart from the ones mentioned above, here are the next ten most common turn-offs on a first date:
1. Sweating profusely
2. Constantly checking their phone
3. They talk politics all evening
4. Chewing gum loudly
5. Social-media obsessed
