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!

When I was 18 I had a major crush on a guy I used to see out a lot, after loads of flirting he asked me out, when the date arrived he collected me in the car with his mum driving, we went back to his house and watched telly, again with mum! Couldn't get out the car quick enough when him and his yes you guessed it! Mum dropped me home. Nice guy but v weird.

Oh, micro penis, definitely.

lessonsintightropes · 29/05/2014 13:00

Expat micro penis is not a trivial reason!!!!

BumgrapesofWrath · 29/05/2014 13:05

We went out to a disco, and he ended up dancing with his denim jacket tied over his shoulders (in a kind of catalgue model kind of way.) Gave me the real creeps, and had to dump him.

On the same evening, he pronounced that he wanted to marry me after only a week or so together. He also accused me of fancying nearly all the other men who were with us. He was weird. I probably should have dumped him for those reasons alone. but it was the jacket incident that really got to me.

BumgrapesofWrath · 29/05/2014 13:07

I also once dated a micro penis man once. That was not the reason I dumped him though. We went out and he spent the whole night smiling at other women. I was thinking, what exactly are you going to do with these women when you get your pants off mister??

lilian1977 · 29/05/2014 13:08

He used to sleep all day and stay up all night playing poker (student). Even did it when I took him to my mum and dad's house for Christmas - didn't get up until 5pm. So rude. Don't actually think that was trivial but it was the reason I was so ready to end it.

Also he turned up to my room in halls one day wearing a khaki t-shirt, khaki cords and khaki slippers, hungover so his skin looked khaki too. Looked horrendous. That was the end for me.

stardusty5 · 29/05/2014 13:21

Several rubbish dates, some shallow, most totally justified!

Very high nasal voice. Was embarrassed when he ordered our drinks etc.

Thin, bony frame. Had one kiss and it felt like kissing a woman or a young boy. Gave me the heebie jeebies (sp?) That one was also clearly in love with a woman he worked with, but she was engaged to someone else. Aww.

Rang a friend who lived abroad partly through our date, presumably to demonstrate how interesting he was. Also sloppy kisser.

Another, who when kissing opened his mouth far too wide, engulfing my face.

Wore a football shirt to date.

One who was patronising and talked about women being nags. Accellerated car very quickly for no reason other than to show off. Smelled funny. Sent texts about me being sexy.

iklboo · 29/05/2014 13:22

First date he told me I'd have to convert to Catholicism when we got married. He wasn't joking.

Second date he spent most of the night boasting his loan and insurance payout cheques had cleared & he was loaded. Then walked off & left me to pay the restaurant bill. Shared a taxi home & he told the driver not to wait as I was dropped off because he was 'going inside for some'. I told him in no uncertain terms that was the last thing that was going to happen & shut the door in his face.

Grin Shock

What a PRINCE!

Panga63 · 29/05/2014 13:25

No 1: Slobbery kisser - yuk!
No 2: Too clingy/jealous
No 3: Table manners of a toddler - I don't like being sprayed with food whilst you're talking, or seeing what you're chewing!
No 4: Couldn't be arsed to knock at the front door and pick me up. Just tooted outside and sat there in his rusting junkheap of his dad's fiesta that smelt of damp dog car. His dog was lovely though Grin

jetheather · 29/05/2014 13:44

For our first date we arranged to meet at the station and then go to a restaurant. It was about a ten minute walk and as we set off he suggested that we run there as he was very hungry, so I ended up jogging there alongside him in high heels.

When we got there he said "I'll take" for everything, so rather than "can I have a beer please" it was "I'll take a beer". shudder

I considered dumping him but foolishly married him instead.

50shadesofknackered · 29/05/2014 13:50

Not breaking up with someone but this reminded me of when i really fancied a bouncer at a club in town, he was gorgeous! After a couple of weeks of only going to that particular club, some flirting etc he asked for my number. I was thrilled! Then he told me his name...it was Neville. I went right off him and shamefully, when he called, I pretended to be my sister and said I was out Blush

Soooo shallow!
I was only 20 though.

Roussette · 29/05/2014 13:55

Someone who had a trainspotter type purse. One of those that you tip up to let the coins fall to the end and then pick them out.

A man whose cum face was a sight to behold - he transformed into a baby with popping eyes straining to do a poo. Dreadful. Couldn't get past it after the first time. Knew it would never get better, only worse.

FunLovinBunster · 29/05/2014 14:00

He was waiting for me at a well known in the area roundabout (where some years later I almost ran over John Barnes....) and Mum was dropping me off there in the car. I told her to carrying on driving because just looking at him I realised he was an ugly twat. And he was boring.

mumtosome61 · 29/05/2014 14:01

Stayed in a hotel with a guy who was super nice and handsome. Lovely evening, lots of laughter and drinks and dinner. All very passionate, everything fine. Comes on my chest (still fine, I could deal with it).

Starts to lick it off - all of it. Like he hadn't been fed in three weeks.

I was 20. Fortunately he couldn't see the horror of my eyes as he was yaking down. I stayed, as I was paying, went home and fielded all his calls. Still sort of know him through Twitter, he's hopeless with women and when he's drunk he always tells me how much he liked that night.

50shadesofknackered · 29/05/2014 14:05

mum Shock Shock Shock Shock we need a vomit face!

drivingmisslazy · 29/05/2014 14:06

He kept referring to his thing as his Hampton Wick :s

Another shaved his lovely hair off and had an odd shaped head.

drivingmisslazy · 29/05/2014 14:07

and another who would put tomato ketchup on every dinner regardless of what it was, and when we went out places he would have little sachets in his pocket.

briony77 · 29/05/2014 14:07

He wore women's deodorant.

Another got dumped because he worked for one of these places that sell electrical goods to people who can't afford them... I told him his job was immoral.

theduchesse · 29/05/2014 14:07

I have many from my internet dating days. The main one that springs to mind is the guy that ordered a bottle of water 'the one in the square bottle' that cost about £6 and I think I was meant to be impressed and it was super trendy. It tasted like....... water, and I thought he was a knob.

Another one I dumped because he had a bloodshot eye and I couldn't look at him. And he was sooooo boring. I'm pretty good at keeping a conversation going but I struggled with him.

PiperRose · 29/05/2014 14:15

He had mother issues. He rang to cancel a date on the same day to have dinner with his mother. He lived with her. I never called him back.

PiperRose · 29/05/2014 14:17

Ooh another. We had a lovely date, he walked me to my car, kissed me on the cheek and said "so how do you feel about meeting the wife?". Never called him back either.

PiperRose · 29/05/2014 14:18

And another. He drove a baby blue Landrover. He lived in a city and worked in the same city. Guess what?

thamrin · 29/05/2014 14:22

crucru your reasons are hilarious. my dh is sulky and it drives me nuts I honestly think he's giving me teenager training practise. . .

I can put up with sulky but I couldn't put up with "mind the doors-oookay! hahaGrin too funny!

my reasons:
great guy but micro penis
another one, amazing guy but shorter than me. I felt like the man. and he had a six pack! Sad Envy
