No matter how hot your date is, it’s still going to be in the back of your mind whether you can see yourself introducing her to the ‘rents one day down the line. Some things can easily make a date crash and burn and its best to be ready for them to happen, just in case.

too much info 135x95 7 deal breakers on first datesOften women will let slip information about themselves that give you a pretty good indication of what a poor girlfriend she’ll be based on your wants and needs. This is a good time to think outside of the moment and to the future. It’s an especially hard red flag to pick up on, because we want to believe that she’s going to change for us once she sees how awesome we are. Fat chance.
