Many guys jump into online dating, do most of the right things, but at some stage do some really gross things that turn their dates off in record time.

It would be a shame if all your online dating groundwork that got you this far were to be a waste of everyone’s time.

I find most women are very tolerant of a lot things these days, however the following are guaranteed ways to gross out your date. Avoid these at all costs if you want to see her again.

Not Keeping Yourself Clean

There is nothing worse for a woman than her date turning up unwashed. The least you can do is take the time to shower, shave and put on some deodorant. If you use aftershave, on the first date go for something not too strong and overpowering.

If you do work that leaves lots of filth under your fingernails, make sure you clean under your nails if you expect to get anywhere near her with your hands.

Need I add that if you are expecting to get some sexual action at the end of this date, you absolutely must make sure your genitals are clean. If you are expecting oral sex and you neglect to wash around your penis and scrotum area, then you can forget about it. An unclean and unwashed dick is a huge mistake that will never be forgiven. You have been warned!

Telling Dirty Jokes

This may be fine with your friends at the local pub, but unless she starts telling dirty jokes, your efforts may lead to disaster. She might appreciate the odd smutty anecdote, but take your time and ease into it. Your attempts at bathroom humor may lead to a stinging palm across your cheek.

Getting Drunk

Don’t drink to excess on your first (or any other date). This will not only gross her out, it could lead to some inappropriate behavior on your part (groping waitresses, your date’s mother). It’s an ugly look, so easy on the booze!

Leaving the Toilet Seat Up

This is an automatic thing to do for lots of men. But if you are at her place, make a conscious effort to put the damned toilet seat back down after you are done. Tie a piece of string around your finger if you have to. Wars have started over the toilet seat left up.

Burping, Farting and other Gross Stuff

No explanation necessary for this one. Picking your nose in public view and scratching your nuts can be added to this list.

If you can avoid all of the above gross behaviors, then your chances of dating success will be magnified many times!
