Bad date

After our 1 on 1 clients go out on a date, they are asked to fill out a feedback form. Basic questions: how long was the date? Was there chemistry?

Well, we received this feedback from Tracy after her date with Trey.  Read what she had to say about her date with him! (Of course, the names have been changed!)

"Trey seemed like a nice guy who asked a lot of questions... He did all the rights things: letting me taste the wine, asking my thoughts on the menu, holding the door, etc.  However, it’s hard to take him seriously when he spent so much of the time talking about the other people he’s dated.  Bad first dates, crazy online dating run-ins, and flying a girl internationally on a first date.  By him sharing all this, it was really difficult for me to tell if Trey was really serious about dating, but more than that- it really made me fearful of what he would have to say about me! He had a good sense of humor, but he kinda of ruined it when he wouldn’t stop making fun of the people in the restaurant (the manager, other guests, people walking by). Whether or not he does this because he’s insecure or pretentious, it’s hard to say. He asked a lot of questions about my hobbies and interests, but next to nothing to say when I asked him. It’s a little awkward to be pressured to talk so much about myself and then get nothing back about the guy! None of that it so say it wasn’t a nice or fun date, it just means it’s a little harder to read his intentions and to consider him as someone I’d seriously date."

No one wants to date someone who is that critical on a first date! Leave the bad date stories at home. Sharing crazy dating stories can bring up a lot more questions about you than you may realize.  Is she attracted to crazy?  Does she only like this type of man?  Am I too fillintheblank for her?  You first dates should be about getting to know the other person sincerely.  Maybe once you've established some type of connection you can bring up some horror stories but the for meantime, keep it shut!
