You meet the one. They're perfect for you. Then youve got the ick so badly you eant to set fire to yourself. What petty thing did they do?? 👀

Oh you poor thing! It's time to give him "The bird" and take flight!

😂🤣😂👌

I'm a man, but this is one I'd imagine would give women the ick, and it's men who cry and bubble. I think if I were a woman, that would seriously make me run a mile. Man up, ffs...

Wore a fake leather bomber jacket and took me to a bog standard Italian restaurant which he clearly thought was some upmarket exclusive michelin starred bistro.

I should have left it as a one date wonder, but ended up buying a house with him. WTF was I thinking?

Or rough and flaky 🤪

First date wore intensely blue jeans with a neat crisp crease ironed down the middle, nattily paired with a sock/sandle combo. There was no second date.

Seriously? Shutup!

That occurred to me too, but after covered buttons, because I was around him doing it for so long.

Not me but a friend of mine. She dumped a bloke after they got back to hers after their first date and he wanted to play Crash Bandicoot on the PSX.

That was fine by her but he was awful at it and the way he edged his way along, step by painfully slow step put her off him completely and she sent him home.

You could have told him you found it unattractive. That's not disrespecting his bodily autonomy. You'd only be doing that if you told him to shave it off. What you did was fail to commnicate.

I mooned after him for the whole three years of university. Finally we got together in the last week of the last term. Disrobing each other, I was so excited - then I saw this dark rim of grime all around the inside of the collar of his white shirt. The bubble burst and I left immediately. Ick

Exactly. If I decided to grow out the hair on my legs and my partner hated it, I could hardly be surprised when he no longer finds me attractive.

It's actually his job, he's a haberdasher.

Oh, bless your heart.

Sort of this. He didn't call his Mum but after we had had a few dates and got a bit intimate, he had a funny turn. Probably low blood pressure or something but he told his Mum (who was a nurse to be fair) but explained the detail he had gone into in telling her and I couldn't hang around after that. No way would I ever have been able to meet his parents for a start.

He was in my circle of friends for years after and it became evident that he told his mother everything.

In fairness, he never knew my views on beards. I didn't tell him, as I respected his bodily autonomy

@YelramBob OMG have we dated the same man?! Only on my first (and last) date he actually called his mom during the date to tell her how well it was going and then passed the phone over to me!!

God, why do they do the beard thing if they know their partner hates it? I wouldn't constantly wear a pair of trousers that my OH thought were hideous. I found it really off-putting that his need to assert his independence was apparently more important than trying not to put me off sexually. We can't help what we find attractive, and if you want to do what you want the whole time, be single!

Poor table manners

Grew a beard

Oh my God, you know in the latest series when he's at a bar with Maud and she tells him that she has to keep working? The WAY he leans forward and says, very slowly and meaningfully, "Understood." How can ANYONE make ONE WORD so SO SEXY????

Oh yeah, I had a friend who got a dog and refused to leave him at home alone, ever. And if she really couldn't avoid it, like a hospital appt, she would get a babysitter for him. Anyway, it really curtailed what we could do. We could no longer go to our favourite restaurant, in fact most restaurants were off-limits, it had to be dog-friendly pubs, couldn't go to the theatre or cinema, couldn't do this, couldn't do that. It was a gigantic PITA and really boring. I'm impressed that you managed six dates of being disappointed that so much stuff was out of bounds!

🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣

My ex turned up in a sky blue knitted v neck jumper..
