As far as dumb moves go, this one is pretty high up there. While on a FIRST date with a guy, I saw him look at his phone. He then announced to me that a girl that he connected with on a dating site was texting him to ask if he wanted to go out later that night. To insert his foot even further into his mouth, he proceeded to tell me that the girl seemed to be obsessed with him and found him on Facebook.
Internal dialog while this was occurring: Are you really serious right now?!? While on a first date with me you're going to tell me that you're being asked out by another girl at that moment in time?!
If he was trying to make himself appear to be a hot commodity, it certainly did not work on me. I thought it was very rude and inconsiderate. While the date wasn't knocking me off my feet otherwise, I would have likely considered a second date until this happened. This dumb move sealed the deal.
Oh, and speaking of "obsessed", after we parted ways, he texted within about 10 minutes to see if I'd be interested in another date. I was still driving home from our first (and last) date when I received the text. When I arrived home about 20 minutes later, I had another text message from him asking if he said anything wrong. Ya think?
Take Away Message: Don't try to make yourself appear to be a "wanted" item.
