For women and men; From experience, how have some dates that looked promising in the beginning (they may seem nice/ attractive/ getting along, whatever) end up in a downward spiral where the date ends on short notice and someone leaves? What subjects/ topics or actions caused this and why?
Update: What I'm looking for here are examples, this could even be applied to "being in the doghouse in the relationship." Or something like "everything was going fine until he/she found out I was employed as ___ (occupation goes in the blank)."

I was on a date with my boyfriend and we were at a strip club. I thought I was being a super cool girlfriend when I pointed at one of the strippers and whispered to him, "If we ever have a threesome, that's the kind of girl I'd want." Instead of getting excited, he blew up in my face. Called me a whore, slut, you name it. I was so hurt, so confused.
The next day, after he'd sobered up, he claimed it was the Vodka and Red Bull that he was drinking. One of his friends confirmed that whenever he drinks those two things combined, he turns into a complete asshole.
I always introduce my date to my dog. I know it's a little like "Something About Mary" but my dog can recognize good character. If she doesn't like him, I don't like him.
I had a date once with a guy who I thought had potential. But when he came to pick me up, I let him into my apartment while I finished getting ready. When I came out, he was reading my journal! He made a comment, "you like to write poetry? Me too." (Those weren't poems, by the way, they were soon-to-be-award-winning song lyrics...at least, that's what I'd been hoping!) Anybody that invades my privacy in less than 10 minutes is out the door in 11 minutes.
Don't get me wrong -- I love my boyfriend of 8 months. He's great to me, we get along, and have a lot in common, and I know he loves me. But things in...

Describe your ideal first date; Where do you go? What do you wear? How does the date end?
I would invite you to my flat and let you taste my delicious home cooked food. Probably something exotic, like Thai food. After dinner in candlelight I would play and sing by the piano and hopefully we sing together and just have fun. Then we would go for a walk under the full moon, talking about life. I would walk you home, leave you outside your door, and give you a kiss on your cheek...
Afterwards..what will your date know about you?
A lot. I hope that you will know how caring I am, what good humor I have, how much I care about people around me. I also wish that you think I am smart, intelligent, artistic and a all over jolly guy.
