There are more similarities between interviewing for a job and meeting a potential fiancé than most people realise. In both cases, both parties are bent on presenting themselves in a rosy light so as to secure the ultimate prize – whether it is a job or an engagement ring.
It is not unheard of for women to go on multiple such “first meetings”, only to be rejected by the potential groom in all cases. If it is happening too often, you need to step back and consider whether it is fair to lump all the blame on the guy. Maybe you should take a close hard look in the mirror and seriously consider whether it is really all his fault. Are you unconsciously behaving in a manner that would turn off even the most ardent of admirers in a matter of minutes?

It can give the impression that you are a vain and self centred person who is interested only in herself, and we don’t want that now, do we?
Being poorly groomed
The way you look speaks volumes about the way you look after yourself – or don’t. So ensure that you are thoroughly waxed, shaved and plucked before you embark on that all important first date with your husband to be. If there is a genuine reason why you cannot epilate, then wear something that does not draw attention to your arms and legs. Wear a salwar kurta/ jeans/ sari or anything else that covers your legs completely, and go for a full sleeved top.

Be a giggling girl
You know, like those girls, who are like, totally, girly, right? They are so totally uncool, like, right? Don’t be a girly girl who giggles over everything even remotely amusing. And do not put on a fake accent, even if you are a call center executive with a fantastic American accent.
So ends the list of what guys generally find annoying in girls.
What do you find most irritating in a guy?
