8 Common Dating Complaints Women Have (And How to Fix Them)

8. He Didn’t Pay

“I went on a date with the last guy and he didn’t even pay for the date. He left the ticket all on me!” (To be honest, I don’t mind paying for the date. I think sometimes, women should pitch in and help too. However, I noticed this was a big dating complaint.)

7. He Was Late

“There I was, sitting in the diner all by myself. I waited for him for almost an hour before he finally walked through the doors. He knew he was supposed to be there at 7:00, yet something else was more important than our date.” (Guys, all I have to say is that there better be a good excuse for this one or she may not give you a second chance.)

6. Flirts with Others

“As if I were not there, he kept flirting with the waitress at our table. It made me nauseous to watch them do this in front of me.” (Guys, flirting while you’re dating is a big no. There’s no excuse.) This is a major red flag that you shouldn't ignore.

5. Talks about His Ex

“The name of his ex seemed to have come up every five minutes. It’s almost as if he isn’t over her.” (Guys, when you’re on a date, try not to even mention your ex. When you are constantly mentioning your ex-girlfriend, it is not a turn-on. It makes it seem like you are still hung up on her and that’s not dating material.)

To keep things on track, here are a few simple ways to ensure your next date goes smoothly:

4. A Gamer

“Okay, so we were at dinner and all he could talk about is how his Priest is level 80. Seriously, does he ever get away from it?” (I like when my husband talks about games because I can relate. However, while you’re on a date, you may want to leave the games at home or you may end up being complained about.)

3. The Way He Eats

“When he was eating, he ate like a pig. Most of the food either ended up on his shirt, the table or the floor.” (Guys sometimes do this.)

2. Phone

“Every time we were in the middle of a conversation, his phone would ring. As if our conversation was not important, he would answer it and talk on the phone.” (Maybe he’s a business guy? Women do this one too. Perhaps you could ask him to turn the phone off while you’re on your date.) If you're tired of digital distractions, you might have better luck on apps like Bumble where you can set your own pace.

1. Cut the Date Short

“Out of nowhere, he decided that the date was over. I know, a date has no amount of time that it has to last, but the date only lasted for 30 minutes.” (If he does this, then he may not be into you.)
