When your date:
If it's a first date and he doesn't pay, I'm out of there!

...a little of all of that, but I think chewing with his mouth open or being glued to a damn cell phone would annoy me the most.

Homophobia, transphobia, racism, and other unsavory views are an absolute turn-off.

My area has some of the worst traffic in the USA, so I don't really ... more
And these as well.

Basically, if the person makes a discriminatory remark or comment while eating with me, I will raise an eyebrow and decide to not ever see them again.

This needed to be a multiple answer choice, all those could fit into the top of my list, but I checked the cell phone one, if you are here with me, then be here with me, and not with everyone else that you have saved in your cell phone.

Not talking, or being meek/shy to the point of awkwardness! If I'm expected to do all the work conversation-wise, it's just not gonna happen. I'm not the most talkative person myself, but for dates since I know that it will only be me and my date, I suck it up and chat. Plus, if I don't get to know him, how will I know he's someone I want to be with?

It wasn't a first but I went out to a bar with a guy I was "talking" to and he went and danced with some girl. He said they were friends, fine but he was like grinding his crotch on her. NO, that is not okay. You dance NEXT to your friends but if you're gonna be with me, your crotch should only be on ME. That was it for me. He was arrogant anyways and I can't stand that. It's one thing to have confidence but it's sickening when you are so in love with yourself that you think you're a God or something.

Call me old fashioned but I believe the guy should pay for the first date.

And the cellphone is annoying to some extent.

Pretty much everything you listed would annoy me. Unless it's an important phone call don't constantly be on your phone. Decent table manners were beat into my head from an early age so people that make obscene noises and chomp their food with an open mouth gross me out.
The bill - I like to SPLIT the cost of a meal because it's more economic for both and we're living in the 21st Century. Unless one or the other invited the other to eat on their dime both parties should expect to split the bill in my opinion.
Talking too much is unnecessary, I speak when I've got something to say, and not every moment has to be filled with chatter. If you can't sit in comfortable silence with someone (for me anyway) that's a pretty good sign there's gonna be some issues. I'm a relatively silent person, not shy per say but if I feel what I need to say isn't worthwhile or can carry a conversation it's not worth it.
Lateness is iffy ... if they've got a pretty good reason (traffic, work etc etc) then that's one thing, but being late because... they are a typically late person would annoy the hell out of me because I try to plan to be somewhere at least 10 minutes early. I don't like testing the clock.

Picky eaters make me super-upset; it's a huge turn-off when a guy takes me out to, say, a nice Italian restaurant, orders the spaghetti and meatballs, and then makes terror-eyes and gagging-faces when I order eggplant, squid, or artichokes. One guy I dated wouldn't even go anywhere but a steakhouse because "foreigner food is weird."

I guess this has become such a sensitive issue because I cook so much, and I hate having to cook for people that will constantly refuse to try most dishes. I consider the picky first-date behavior and early warning sign.

I was on a first date not too long ago and i mentioned all the previous girls i dated made me pay for everything and expected me to buy them gifts. i told her i would love to meet a girl who can split the bill with me. sometimes i will pay sometimes she could pay etc. she agreed with me. she ordered 50 dollars worth of food and when bill came she just looked at me. im tired of all the girls thinking a man has to pay all the time. i dont mind most of time but not all the time. especially a first date where i dont even know you like that.

If you are 21 and have been dating the same guy exclusively for 5 years, then the "personal ? guy" who liked texting you would have happened when you were about 16. It seems to me that at 16 the maturity level is quite low. I can only hope that you are with someone close to your age. Regardless of how "kind hearted" the current beau is, if you were 16 when you began dating and he was already out of high school age (18+) it just seems to me that you were/are already making bad choices. You can't expect more from an age level than is there. I hope this makes sense.

It's been a while since I had a first date. Generally I only go on dates when the guy's genuinely interested, hence they are more careful with themselves.

All of the above for some extent. But I'd be extra annoyed if his cell phone would be practically attached to his hand.
