Relationships

Your most trivial 'dealbreaker'... (lighthearted)

It's Friday, I read this article... Groom Dumped Over Failed Maths Test ... and wondered what relatively trivial failing in someone meant they didn't get that second or third date.

Mine was that he collected ornamental boxes and lined them up on his coffee table set-square perfect.

He gave me a home-burned CD of his music. It was awful. No second date for you, Mr Out of Key!

Cog, that would have had me out of there, too, and I was unwisely tolerant of weirdness!

Right-wingish, Daily Mail reader turns of phrase like "all the immigrants". I just can't be arsed.

Not a first date, but the last man I went out with (in the 18th century or thereabouts) was mortally offended that a co-worker had called him 'black'. Now, the co-worker was extremely rude and illegally racist. But my date's outrage wasn't about that so much, as the fact this guy thought he was black ... so did I. But he was sure he was white Confused

Attractively arranged stacks of 'Anal Sex' magazine. I made my excuses and left.

ok... perhaps too much info but he used to do a weird ritual before sex which made me think wtf! It wasn't so much his technique but the way we got there and after a couple of times I just couldn't take him seriously anymore.

Once on a date a guy told me his favourite film was Dirty Dancing. Bye.
Also didn't offer a 2nd date to the guy that turned up to the 1st one wearing a vest.

He said the immortal line "May I go down on you?"

Just so cringey.

Oh and another one gelled his hair a la ross from friends and wore a rucksack on our first date. I was only interested in the first place because he was in the RAF and had a bit of a reputation. Couldn't get out of there quick enough!

Walking down the street, arm in arm, and he spat on the pavement.

Over!

Used a tooth pick to clean his teeth at the table after every meal, even when we were eating out.

Left a wooly hat on to hold his ears down, all the time. And his ears were so big you could still see them sticking out under the hat.

The day he wore the hat AND did the teeth at the same time, I knew it was over.

While DTD, he waggled his fingers and uttered this immortal line -
"lets give you a few more orgasms, shall we?"

Reader, I married him.


... Of course I didn't. I dumped him immediately.

I dumped one ex for having mushy pea breath. The best one was with a gut I had just began seeing. After doing the deed he walked me home, outside my house he rubbed my belly and said we will have to get a baby in there.. Needless to say o never contacted him again !

About 13 years ago I dated a guy who told me that he really wanted an all-in-one to lounge about in. I just thought 'you want to wear a babygro?' Shock

I guess he was a visionary.
