The Top 10 Most Common Ways that DC Daters Sabotage their own Love Lives

Your Dating Diva is bringing you part 3 of our COUNTDOWN TO THE NEW YEAR series with  the Top 10 most common ways that DC daters sabotage their own love lives. 

Because It’s Just Lunch DC is dedicated to bringing you the REAL story (the truth about what’s really going on out there in dateland) these top 10 results are a culmination of what your Personal Account Reps have actually encountered time and time again throughout the year.

Jenna felt that the most common actions DC daters were taking to self-sabotage were:

1) Women not calling men who they want to see again

2) Men talking about other women on their dates

3) Women showing up in their bland suits with no sex appeal

4) Men never called women they were interested in

5) Women coming across as too aggressive to much masculine energy, no mystery, no appeal

6) Too much personal info on their first date, including why their marriage failed

7) Talking about past IJL dates to your current IJL date

8 ) Wrote off your date because not every one of your proverbial” boxes” were checked

9) Not flexing on age, ethnicity, or height

10) Coming on too strong, too soon

Patti Felt that IJL DC daters did the following to sabotage their own love life:

1) Cancelling on a scheduled date repeatedly

2) Bringing up past dating life with your current date

3) Thinking negatively about yourself, becomes a self- fulfilling prophesy

4) Putting your work or others ahead of your own love life

5) Unhealthy lifestyle, not working out

6) Not taking a risk for love

7) Giving away too much too soon, no mystery

8 ) Not Eating Right

9) Utilizing nearly impossible standards to judge perspective matches

10) Unwillingness to leave you comfort zone distance wise

Ashley and Liz felt that It’s Just Lunch DC clients sabotage their love lives by:
1) Consistently cancelling dates

2) Not living a healthy lifestyle

3) Not being open to date different people

4) Not trusting their PARs or Match Makers

5) Refusing to meet someone based on distance

6) Women getting mad if a guy you never met before does not pay on a first date

7) Over analyzing: People who hit it off with their dates, and don’t want to seem desperate by calling their match.

8 ) Being Naive: If someone says they’re getting back in touch with his ex or makes some other excuse that may or may not be true!

9) Not taking any time for themselves. By working out or making sure you look good, you’ll feel good as well.

10) Being too eager. Daters are ready to meet that right person and settle down, but sometimes it’s ok to relax and not rush in too soon
