Top 10 Turn-offs

So, you and your chatmate decided to meet for a date at last. You have been chatting for some time, been seeing each other thru webcam, and you really think that you and she have a lot of things in common. She seems to genuinely like you and interested in having a relationship with you.

And now you saw each other in person. After the initial plesantries, you started to talk. You feel that your were at your best - charming, witty and confident. But when you asked her what she wants for dinner, she replied that she can’t stay longer because she need to meet a friend of a friend or something. So she left, and while she was still amiable when she said goodbye, you had this feeling that you will never see her again.

Now you’re left alone wondering. What have gone wrong? You were on your best behavior and you can’t remember saying anything offensive during that few minutes.

While she might really have another appointment for the day, it is very much possible that it was just an excuse to leave. And though she may really liked talking with you, there was something she saw that turned her off. And here are the top 10 possible reasons:

10. Fashion sense – when you chat, she won’t mind whatever you are wearing. But it will be hilarious for her to see you in person wearing that leather pants.

9. Beer gut – surprise, surprise! She never realized that you are 8-month pregnant.

8. Untidy and dirty – you don’t need to look pristinely clean and neat, but she will be turned off if you have dirty hands or nails or if your shirt or pants looked like you have worn it for 2 weeks. And don’t forget your shoes as well.

7. Being shorter than her – Well, it may not even be your fault. You could be reasonably tall, but still, if she’s more than 3 inches taller than you and she is wearing heels, she would feel awkward being near you.

6. Annoying habits – maybe you are just nervous or excited seeing her, but if you keep biting your nails, scratching your head or excessively blinking your eyes, she will feel uncomfortable.

5. Dandruff – she thought it was just pixels on her monitor... now she knows.

4. Nose hair – Those things can be invisible with low resolution webcams, but make sure to trim them before you go on a date!

3. Stained teeth – unless you are Austin Powers, go to dentist and have your teeth polished.

2. Bad breath – hmmm.. how can you even think of kissing her?

1. Body odor – when she leave within 2 minutes of meeting you, it means she can't hold her breath any longer
