Talking about politics is one of the quickest ways to end a date

One in 10 dates end when chats turn political, according to new research from Sushi Daily, which reveals the biggest dating faux pas. On the list of icks on dates are having bad table manners (39%), lying about age (23%) and taking food off plates without asking (14%).

Prepping for a date is almost as daunting as the actual meetup, with Brits scrambling to get rid of any damming evidence on their phones. More than one in six Brits admit to conducting a digital detox before a date, by clearing their internet history (8%) and deleting messages from their inbox (8%) to make sure that any sneaky movements aren’t accidentally revealed.

Having the opportunity to try out a new cuisine is often seen as one of the perks of going out on a date or eating with friends. However, over a third (39%) of Brits are hesitant to try new foods if they’re unsure of what it is and over one in 10 (11%) will pass on a dish if they don’t know what it looks like.
