Being ghosted is never nice but there could be a reason behind it. If your date won’t even text you back, you might have made one of these 12 dating mistakes.
1. Checking Your Phone
Checking your phone during a date can make it look like you’re bored or disinterested. If your date has taken the time to go on a date to get to know you, it can feel hurtful to see you spending time on the phone instead of with them. If you have a job where you have to keep an eye on your phone, be honest with your date about it and check it as minimally as you can. If it’s not important, it’s best to put it away to avoid the temptation.
2. Crude Humor
If you’re date doesn’t know you very well yet, crude humor can come across the wrong way. It may seem immature or mean spirited if they don’t know you well enough to know where you’re coming from. It’s fine to make jokes on a date, but it’s better to hold off on crude humor until your date knows you better. They may mistake your humor for genuine opinions.
3. Getting Drunk
Getting intoxicated on a date can be a big red flag for some people. While it’s fine to have a drink or two during a date, too much can make it seem like you have little self-control. It also makes it easier to make other social mistakes during the date. If they think you’re a nightmare when drunk, they might suddenly ghost you.
4. Being Late
Sometimes things happen and you can’t help but be late, but it can give a bad impression on a date, especially early on in the relationship. Your date might think that you consider them a low priority or forgot about the date. If you are running late for a date, let your date know as early and honestly as possible.
5. Complaining About Past Relationships
Even if you’ve had bad experiences in past relationships, it’s a bad idea to complain about exes or call them crazy during a date. They might think that you’re the negative factor in those past relationships, or worry about what you’ll say about them if it doesn’t work out. If you talk about exes during a date, keep it positive and honest about why it didn’t work out.
6. Coming on Too Strong
Coming on too strong early in a relationship can make your date uncomfortable. Pushing commitments or intimacy before your partner is ready might frighten them off, and they can even ghost you if they’re too nervous afterwards to want to break up officially.
7. Being Rude
Being rude to staff or other customers while out on a date is a big red flag. People are usually on their best behavior when dating, so if you’re rude or mean to others while dating it might make them scared of how you’ll act with them later in private. If it was bad enough, they might even ghost you.
8. Not Listening
While on a date, your potential partner wants you to get to know them as much as they want to get to know you. If you cut off their stories or don’t let them get a word in edge-wise, they might think you’re self-centered or don’t really care about them. They might not contact you at all if they think you aren’t going to listen to them.
9. Not Engaging in Conversation
Conversely, not opening up to your date can also cause the relationship to fizzle out quickly. Conversation in dates is all about balance, you need to both listen and open up to your potential partner.
If you don’t engage in the conversation, your date might think you’re hiding something or don’t trust them. They might even think you weren’t that interested in the relationship, and not bother contacting you again.
10. Smoking
For some people, smoking is a relationship deal-breaker. While you shouldn’t necessarily hide bad habits from potential future partners, it’s just a fact that some people will lose interest in the relationship if you need to take a smoke break while out on a date. This is especially true if you’ve not previously disclosed that you’re a smoker.
11. Seeming Cheap
Money problems are a common cause of breakdowns in relationships. While it’s important to stay within your budget while dating, complaining about prices or only ordering the cheapest items can make it seem like you aren’t doing well financially. If your date thinks you’re bad with money, they might ghost you.
12. Negativity
Negativity can ruin all kinds of relationships, and dates are no different. Complaining or being excessively negative can make you seem like an emotional drain to be around, and they might not even want to contact you again if it was bad enough.
