First date game changer

Is there anything you'd try to find out on a first date, even though it's not first date conversation.

I'd want to know if they voted for Boris Johnson or if they are racist or sexist.

Those are game changers for me!

So do you mean that you are just dating people from the Uxbridge and South Ruislip constituency?

I’d call them deal-breakers rather than game-changers but I understand what you mean.

Certain political opinions. Rudeness to staff.

They'd just lie.

Happens all the time.
People put on the front they want the other too see.
An ex of mine supported the BNP... I found out when I stayed at theirs and a BNP newsletter or some such came in the post.

"But I ain't racist" they said,
"Kiss mah black ass" I said.

Rudeness to waiting staff, eating with mouth open, UKIP supporter would all be cause to make first date the last date. I would assume that I would not be meeting up with anyone who is sexist/racist/homophobic as they are not the kind of people I am likely to meet or know, but if this turned out to be the case, it would be a get up and walk out rather than just not see them again.

"First date conversation" - I don't think it would be too had to lead the conversation so that a racist or sexist would show their true colours, if you were paying attention to what they said.

And first date being for lunch would show me how they behaved to waiting staff, which is always a fair guide to whether they're a git or not.
