They want to order everything.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They pick the restaurant and immediately call a server over and state exactly what the appetizer, meal, and dessert should be, the exact wine or beverage without consulting you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a highly controlling person who will likely never allow you to make a decision.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. They constantly talk about all they have accomplished.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Someone who constantly talks about their success, how much money they make, their travels, or what they own indicates narcissistic behavior. Plus, they are probably lying.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. They are critical.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A date who is critical of others in the room, of the meal, or makes a negative comment about your attire or job is someone to avoid. Complaining is a lifestyle.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. They ask you how much money you make or other personal information.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asking for personal information on the first date is a sign of a golddigger. They want to know what&#8217;s in it for them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. They constantly check their phone or look around the room.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Someone who is constantly looking at their phone or around the room and checking out their other options and is likely bored with you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>6. They are evasive about their life or past.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A date that isn&#8217;t open about their careers, their relationships, or history is hiding something. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most people should be able to tell you where they&#8217;ve worked, what they do now, and whether they are single, widowed, or divorced.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being aware of body language and how people converse will tell you a lot about the person&#8217;s character. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t be so engrossed in the date that you aren&#8217;t paying attention. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding what they are telling you with their behavior will keep you from being hurt later.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First dates are tough.
