Singles have been warned about five ‘common’ behaviors that are an immediate turn-off when dating.
Australian relationship coach Louanne Ward shared an insightful video on Instagram detailing every “unappealing” habit – from fishing for compliments to complaining too much.
“Whether you’re a woman or a man, these five things are pretty universal, they’re unappealing and a bit of a turnoff,” she said in the clip titled “Dating Fails That Put People Off.”
“What really happens when you do these things is you come across as insecure, selfish, and annoying.”

When dating, singles should never “fish for compliments” or ask for confirmation about themselves. Singles should never treat their date like a therapist and should not complain
When dating, singles should never “fish for compliments” or ask others to validate themselves.
Ms Ward said this “shows you’re insecure and wanting to be the center of attention” and that it’s “not attractive to anyone.”
She then went on to say it’s “not good dating etiquette” to avoid answering questions and direct the question back to the other person.
Instead, be an open book and let the conversation flow by being willing to open up to the other person when you feel comfortable.
Ms. Ward said don’t treat your date like a therapist and don’t complain about your problems.
“Nobody wants to hear about all your problems. Sure, we all have bad days, but if you spend the date talking about all the shit in your life, no one will hear how bad your life is,” she said.
Singles should also be nice to themselves and not “put them down” with a potential partner.
Ms. Ward thought this was the worst or “next level” compared to fishing for a compliment based on the impact it has on the other person.
“Someone has to constantly pull you up — it’s exhausting and it’s not fun for the other person, it’s a turn-off,” she said.
Ms. Ward said you should treat your date like a therapist and not complain about your problems. “Nobody wants to hear about all your problems. Sure, we all have a bad day from time to time, but if you spend the date talking about all the shit in your life, no one to hear about how bad your life is,” she said (stock image)
It is also considered a major turn-off if someone continues to “type” when someone is talking, trying to change the subject, or talking over someone.
In the comments to the video, Ms Ward was praised for sharing the helpful tips on social media.
She also previously said it’s “unsexy” when women say “I don’t need a man” or when men say nasty things about an ex-partner.
