Is there anything worse than a bad first date? Wait…there is; when the dude you had the excruciating date with keeps blowing up your phone. Even if the chemistry was a little awkward, it’s nice to give a GOOD guy a second chance. However, there is some out-of-pocket behavior that should not be tolerated from any man. Time is precious and there’s no reason to waste it on a guy who doesn’t meet the basic requirements.

Here are some examples of dudes that should have you hitting “ignore” on your cell phone…

The Dine and Dasher 

He’s been checking you out at work for a while and asked you out to a nice restaurant. Once you get there, he orders the most expensive item then slides the check towards you at the end of the night. Uh…that’s grounds for immediate dismissal. Guess whose getting sent straight to voice mail?

B.O. Joe

If his breath or body odor is a problem, that’s kind of important. Unless you’re into hosing him down before each date, you should let this one go on his merry way.

The Drama King

You and your suitor are having a lovely meal…until he reveals that he’s been in court five times this month and he’s not a lawyer. Also, he’s got baby mama drama and everyone at his job is “out to destroy him.” Not good signs. Uh…maybe instead of calling you, brother man should be calling a shrink or his parole officer.

Boring Ben

Is staring at a white wall more fun than trying to engage this man in conversation? Maybe it’s not him; The two of you just don’t click. Being able to have great conversation and laugh with your partner is an essential component to a relationship. Why pick up the phone when you and Mr. Man have no conversational chemistry?

Rude Dude

He must have lost his mind for a moment. Did he really just roll up and beep the horn? Did he just answer his cell at dinner and proceed to have a 20 minute conversation while you waited? Oh hell no. This dude is not worth a returned call. A man worth your time should be a gentleman.

 Classless Carl

This man WILL embarrass you in front of your friends and family. On your first date, he chews with his mouth open, puts his elbows on the table and scratches his nether regions openly. Yes, this is the dude that will openly stare at your friend’s breasts and think it’s fly to wear a Sean John track suit to your cousin’s wedding. Save yourself, honey. Don’t call him back.

The Pervert

This brother is the type that will try to feel you up under the table at TGI Fridays on the first date. If you are looking for a relationship and not a booty buddy, delete his number from your phone.

What are some reasons you didn’t call a guy back?
