We recently asked you what turns you off on a first date, and 51 percent of you said "cellphone dependency," or "not being able to put your cellphone down for more than 5 minutes at a time." We agree that this is a huge turn-off, but now we want to know, what makes for a great first date?

Based on past experience, we came up with a few key indicators:

1. Lots of laughing. Lots of laughing means you're clicking, and more importantly, having fun!

2. Physical attraction. If your knee keeps finding his under the table, or he keeps "accidentally" touching you, it's a sign that you can't keep your hands off of each other.

3. Good conversation flow. No lulls? It might be true love! It's never a great sign when you run out of things to talk about during your very first conversation.

4. Similar taste in ... something. Did you realize that you like the same movies or music, or have similar religious or political beliefs? This can build the foundation for a lasting relationship.

5. You can't keep your eyes off of each other. If you're gazing at each other ... and your smartphones are the last things on your minds ... you just might score a second date.

Good conversation flow

If she hasn't slapped me, gotten up and left, called the police, called her mother or brother, used her Taser on me, or threatened to show me the business end of her Glock - - it was a good date!

All these things are important. That said, the conversation would make up for a low score on one of the other things.

Similar taste in something goes hand in hand with this. The best sign is really just getting along and not wanting to roll your eyes at the other person :)

Once you start with a good sweet conversation that goes both ways all the rest will fall into place. But for me it is the good night kiss....just a nice sweet one.

As long as it doesn't sound phony or contrived.

The best sign, neither of you want it to end.

Being able to really laugh together is a sign that you're on the same page in terms of sense of humor and when you laugh, you let your guard down so you see the real person, and you find the same things humorous.

Similar tastes mean more things we can do together, or apart. Laughing and conversations tie for second. The eye thing just creepy me out, I don't like to be stared at. I don't care about physical/sexual attraction as for one thing I'm Asexual and for another I don't much care for being touched.

So yeah, similar tastes are the most important to me.

Talking really ain't necessary. If we r comfortable just laughing nd being in each others company is there really a need for words? Nd also I personally love dating ppl who make me laugh :)

The best sign of a great first date... is a second. The best sign of a great (any) date, is another or progression toward the ultimate goal of marriage.
