The First Date Behavior That’s A Guaranteed Deal-Breaker in Minnesota

If you do THIS while you're on a first date in Minnesota, it's pretty much a done deal that you won't be getting a second date!

As we close in on Valentine's Day, dating and romance are trending again here in the Land of 10,000 Lakes and across the country. If you're looking to make a good first impression, and perhaps turn your first date into a second date, a new survey says you should definitely *not* do this.

And, it doesn't have anything to do with what you're wearing, how you treat the restaurant staff, or if you're constantly on your phone (though those could all be deal-breakers, as well.) It has to do with the food you might order-- and, specifically, *how* you want this particular food prepared.

Ordering foods that are heavy on garlic, onions, or other strong-smelling ingredients while on a first date isn't a good idea. Nor is taking your date to a Minnesota restaurant that's known for having a more exotic menu, unless you know ahead of time that your date is a fan of that kind of food.

But if you order THIS food, this WAY, over half of Minnesotans say it's a deal-breaker and will pretty much kill your chances of going out with them again. What is it? It's ordering a steak... well-done!

That's right, if you order a big 'ol t-bone steak but request that it's cooked well-done, well, goodnight, take the 'l' out of loverboy, it's over, boy. At least, that's the word from this new survey conducted by OnePoll on behalf of JBS USA.

The says that out of 2,000 people surveyed, 53 percent of them claim they wouldn’t date someone who liked their steak prepared in a different way than they did-- especially if that steak is prepared well-done.

Now, the survey also noted that here in Minnesota (and across the Midwest), 3 out of 4 respondents are so particular about how their steak is prepared, that they'd rather grill it themselves.

Not me, though. I've been to those grill-your-own-steak restaurants, but when I'm there, I always find myself worried that I'm going to overcook my steak and ruin it-- I'd rather have the pros at the restaurant cook it for me, am I right?

There is some good news, though. The survey also claimed that 62 percent of us here in the North Star State are willing to pretty much eat whatever is put in front of us while on a date, even if we wouldn't necessarily order it ourselves while out at a restaurant.
