  1. Talking About the App That Help You Meet During the Date

If you think that OkCupid is the most interesting topic that could connect both of you, congratulation because you are wrong. In fact, avoid talking about the app as much as possible.

  1. Sharing Assumption About How You Think the Date Will be Going

Even when you don’t meet through a dating app, sharing your assumption about how you think the date will be going in the middle of the date is a big turn off for everyone. Imagine how your partner should respond about it.

As you set up the date online, many things must be going on inside your mind when you finally see them. However, you know both intentions upon going on the date, so keep everything to yourself.

Your rude behaviour might blow them up that very second, especially when your date is a girl. It’s neither cute nor romantic. It’s impolite. Your date will be appreciating if you just ask them “Is it okay for me to touch your hand?” so you know not to cross their line from the very first date.

  1. Leaving Too Early When the Date is Not Going Well

Chances are, your date can be awkward, uncomfortable, and all sorts of things in your worst case scenario. And when you go on a real date after meeting online, the possibility is bigger. But if you are not interested in them right after you meet them, try not to show it and hold a little longer.

It will be so offensive for them if you suddenly leave the scene. Making any excuse won’t make sense since you must have emptied your schedule for the date. Survive the date and disappear after that. Also read Signs He's Not Interested in You After First Date

  1. Letting the Time Pass without Advertising Yourself

Well, you know this one is stupid. A real date is a perfect chance for you to fully advertise yourself. Impress them with anything you want. They must be asking a lot about your profile and make the most of the moment to show your worth.

It must be awkward at first but letting the time pass just like that is such a waste. Consider it as an opportunity to win a client so you must shape a good image of yourself.

  1. Not Asking Important Things About Them

Not only you have to show yourself well, you should dig more about them too. Ask as many question as possible, anything that makes you curious about them. Let them advertise themselves as well and see whether you are a perfect match for one another. If it sounds more like a presentation, let it be.
