Going on first dates with new potential partners is supposed to be exciting and fun. Finding love is supposed to be a fulfilling journey.

Unfortunately, first dates can end up being super stressful and negative if the person you’ve linked up with isn’t exactly your cup of tea.

The experts at Shiny Smile Veneers conducted a survey of 1,300 Americans to uncover the three worst first date red flags ever.

3 massive first date red flags

According to Shiny Smile Veneers, the three biggest red flags on a first date are people who don’t ask “getting to know you” questions, people who are constantly on their phones, and people who can’t stop talking about their ex.

If the person isn’t inquisitive enough to learn about you, there’s no way a fruitful relationship will blossom.

If the person is too distracted by whatever they’ve got going on in their phone, they’re exhibiting signs of disrespect and disinterest.

And anyone who can’t stop talking about their ex clearly hasn’t healed or moved on yet.

3 dating dealbreakers

What about full-fledged dealbreakers? According to Shiny Smile Veneers, bad hygiene, being racist, and being self-absorbed are three dating dealbreakers that Americans simply won’t put up with.

Dating someone who has bad breath or body odor is absolutely disgusting.

Hearing someone spew racist comments or make racist jokes is just as horrible.

Dealing with someone who’s showing signs of narcissism by only talking about themselves isn’t fun for anyone, either.
