What’s the worst thing you’ve done on a first date?

Turned up late? Talked about your ex? Brought a friend or your mother along? Well, according to a new survey you wouldn’t be alone. At least one in three first dates ends in disaster as a consequence of a dating faux pas – or even plain bad manners.

Eight million singles in the UK are looking for love, and they’ll go on a staggering 18 million first dates this year – but at least six million of those will end in disaster, and even fewer will lead to something special. And it seems it could be simply bad dating manners that are nipping hopes of romance in the bud.
