First dates can make or break a 'potential' relationship let's be real. Whether or not you get asked out for a second date sometimes depends on how the first goes. The pressure is awful. You're worried, how do I look? Should I have worn something different? Should I order the largest dish on the menu? Is he/she acting interested?

Maybe I can help make things a little easier for you by sharing a list of things that you could do on a first date that will ruin your chances, period. Dating.com took a poll and compiled a list of the answers given. So here you go.
