On the latest episode of #RichKids of Beverly Hills, Dorothy Wang went on a blind date and he quickly got three strikes from her. One of the first things he did wrong? He called himself a douchebag right off the bat! So. Weird. 

Finding out your date is a self-proclaimed douchebag is pretty bad and we've listed the 9 other worst possible things that could happen. So, if you're going to be on a first date any time soon, you better be prepared!

9. He is hot and he knows it

This is such a tough one, because getting asked out for a first date is sometimes an awkward situation. So when you see him and he's hot, you probably think to yourself, "YES!" But... then he opens his mouth on the first date and only talks about himself. And suddenly, he's less hot. 

8. He chews with his mouth open

Gawd. We're cringing just thinking about this. Going on a first date usually involves food at some point whether it's dinner or just popcorn. If he gets his food and starts smacking away, and you can hear, or dare we say see, the food in his mouth being chewed? Done. Bye! 

7. He's late

Going on a first date is anxiety-provoking enough, but if he is late on top of it, you better order yourself a glass of wine before you go into full panic mode. Depending on how late he is, you might start thinking to yourself, "Is today Friday? It's Friday right?" or perhaps "We said this restaurant, I swear we did." 

6. He gets all philosophical on you

A first date is to talk about what you watch on Netflix and whether or not you eat meat, it's not for talking about religion or your thoughts on life. That comes later, waaaay later. So if he starts getting all philosophical on you and starts talking about existence or the world, ask for the check! 

5. He tells you about his therapist 

Everyone needs a little couch time now and then, but if on the first date he mentions a therapist? That's not the best sign. Too personal and way too much information! 

4. He's perfect 

Sometimes going on a date with the "perfect" guy, can be the worst date you'll ever go on. Let's put it this way, if his life is in order, he has a thriving career, his hair looks better than yours and his nails are nicely manicured? That is way too much pressure to live up to. He has to have a flaw somewhere and it's comforting and a little less nerve-racking to find one flaw on the first date. 

3. Your outfits match

This is a cause for concern on many levels. It's not cute. Your response shouldn't be anything along the lines of "great minds think alike." If he looks in his closet and is thinking the same thing that you're thinking as you dig through yours? That's not great, that's unnatural. It's also embarrassing to be seen in public in matching color schemes or outfits. You're not five-year-old twins! 

2. You get a text from your ex

Whether you are totally over your ex, or still madly in love with him, this just isn't a good time. Because you either see his name on your phone, remain polite and don't check it but constantly think about the 1,000 different things it might say. Or you do check it and it causes you to start sweating and then your date thinks you're a freak. 

1. Your date doesn't like you

This is virtually impossible because you are so wonderful, but let's say this were to happen, it would literally be the worst thing that could ever happen on a first date. It doesn't matter if you are obsessed with them or don't like them either, but the fact they don't like you totally sucks. Clearly they have bigger issues, so just pray for them.
