Mine is for referring to the 69 position as 'summer of 69ing' and condoms ss 'rubber johnnies'.

It just made my skin crawl and there was no coming back from that!

I was 14.

We got on the bus and when the conductor came round (yes, I really am that old) he said..."two to the terNimus please".

TerNimus??

I ended it that evening.

He had a terrible, awful, mortifying, strangled-donkey-blowing-its-nose sounding laugh, and we ran out of serious movies to go see on dates.

Also, in spite of me being a sure thing, and staying in my bedsit more than once, he never tried it on with me. He slept on the floor instead!

Dumpsville...

No1: He refered to sex as "boinking".

No2: I didn't like his carpet. It was purple and just all kinds of wrong.

No3: I can't remember, but he was pissing me off for a while.

I also had a boyfriend who turned up in bright yellow trousers and a fluorescent yellow t-shirt because I'd told him the previous day my favourite colour was yellow....wtf?!

He soon found himself dumped!

MrsRonBurgundy · 28/05/2014 21:13

He sang to me on the phone. Bleugh

Writerwannabe83 · 28/05/2014 21:12

He was just very fuc*ing irritating!!

swampytiggaa · 28/05/2014 21:10

He had nicely manicured fingernails.

GreatAuntDinah · 28/05/2014 21:09

He told me to wash my dressing gown when we were on holiday. Said dressing gown was eight hundred miles away at home at the time. He'd clearly been thinking about it for days.

I'd have liked a vampire when I was a teenage goth Blush

I'd still take Eric Northman. But even for him a tapestry would be too much

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 28/05/2014 20:59

Cabbages ah no, two different vampires then. Shame. Wish we could introduce them so they could sit there brooding at each other.

MisguidedAngel · 28/05/2014 20:55

I was 15, he was lovely, but his surname didn't go with the name I'd already picked out for my first daughter. Actually, he probably would've been a better choice than the correctly-surnamed but emotionally frozen one I went on to marry. I wish I'd been a bit pickier on the lines of the posts above.

catgirl1976 · 28/05/2014 20:55

At moment of passion where he took his clothes off to ravish me......

paused to fold up his underpants and put them on a chair.

SnakeyMcBadass · 28/05/2014 20:53

Danced like Rick Astley, with added finger snaps.

MrsDarylDixon · 28/05/2014 20:52

His name rhymed with my name.

I just felt like such a twat introducing him to anyone. Shame really cos I really liked him.

  1. Wore a hairy green suit to our first date. Asked me what my favourite food was and took me to the el cheapo restaurant he'd been planning all along (I was 15).
  1. Turned up at the shop I worked in without a shirt. He had a nice body but - no way.
  1. He was bad in bed - clearly had watched a lot of porn and thought that was how all sex was. He also wouldn't eat foreign food.
LidlAngel · 28/05/2014 20:49

He ate only two kinds of vegetables: peas and carrots. A non lover of broccoli is no lover of mine.

nannynoss · 28/05/2014 20:48

orange I dumped someone for the exact same reason!! Wonder if it was the same guy. He also had a red pair of briefs. Ugh.

Runkittyrun · 28/05/2014 20:45

Made a cup of tea in a glass.

Mixing the chilli and rice together on the plate so it was all smooshed up.

Looked like a crow.

Scraped his heels on the pavement when walking.

Wanted me to give him the money for a hotel room so he could look like he was paying and also had some weird idea about me acting like a prostitute leaving his room. WTF?!?

Rude to waiter.

Wore moon boots in a nightclub.

Told me I should smile more.

NoArmaniNoPunani · 28/05/2014 20:41

He was a 33 year old virgin.

I knew a guy at work who had a £100 limit - if the girl hadn't put out by the time he'd spent £100, he dumped her! Charming.

I once kicked a guy out half naked when I realised that he had blonde pubes. Not sure why, it just really turned me off.

Revengeofthechocolatebunny · 28/05/2014 20:39

That would be 20 years older, not 220. Grin

Revengeofthechocolatebunny · 28/05/2014 20:39

I turned up to meet him in a pub. Online dating, photo had looked normal.

He was sitting there with a bald head and a ginger ZZ Top beard. About 220 years older than he had said. Wearing a tracksuit. He clocked me, said, "are you revenge" I said, "yes, I'll just grab a drink" and walked over to the bar and out that door. Didn't look back.

Thislife · 28/05/2014 20:38

Oh just thought of some more.

hairless legs

a collection of stretchy saliva in the corners of his mouth

swearing in the morning as soon as he woke

SocialMediaAddict · 28/05/2014 20:37

Bad jeans.
