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 have 2, The first was a guy I was dating was 15 years older than me. He owned a really famous nightclub but was potless. I took him and his 15 year old son out for supper and they gave HIM the wine list. He then proceeded to choose the most expensive wine on the list. WTF. Secondly the most amazing gorgeous guy ever told me that when he couldnt pull he fucked his best male friend ...... for something to do ....

I was 17 and he gave me a Lady Schaefer pen for Christmas that an aunt had given his mum for her birthday. That was the end of that- and I gave him the pen back.

Loving these!

First lad to take me 'out' I dumped because he put the car seats back ( presumptions sod!) and also he smelled of eggs when up close.

The rest are:

Turned everything into a joke, refused to take the hint that I was desperate to lose my virginity and the told everyone I had refused to sleep with HIM!!

Proper micro penis, literally I was go smacked as I had not realised they could be so small !! ( I often wonder what became of him)

Extreme halitosis ( only one date!!)

Highly suspicious that he was gay ( he told me that his parent thought he was gay and then shouted 'I can't do this' when attempting to do the deed with me!!)

Used to shout Jeeeeeesssssssuuuuuuuuuussssssssssssss incredibly loudly every time he came, literally every time, I came to dread the moment!!!

Rousette it was awful!

I'd be sitting having dinner with them and the mum would go 'Oh so did you two do anything fun last night?' And look at me dead pointedly!

He has a girlfriend now who looks an awful lot like me...

I'm a little surprised that there's more than one vampire mentioned on this thread.

She had a fanny like a bucket.

I was expected to go down on her quite often, which I did without question.

However it was difficult to know where to begin.

I moved on rather sharpish when her husband got released from jail.

StrumpersPlunkett · 30/05/2014 21:47

Blush I was a young stroppy 20 year old.
I put my hand down his trousers whilst we were in the taxi on the way to his house and couldn't find his willy... HONEST
by the time we pulled up to his house I had formulated and excuse to go straight home.

partialderivative · 30/05/2014 22:20

Strangely, I never met a girl like you, Strumpers when in my 20's.

But then that, may be just as well, as I have a feeling my willy might have vanished for a while. Given such an introduction to your hand.

I'm sure it would have been happy to meet you later, given some sort of formal introduction.

catinbootz · 30/05/2014 22:26

He dripped sweat in my eye when we were having sex

flappityfanjos · 30/05/2014 22:38

I was a student and started up an online flirty thing with a guy in the States - it was never going to go anywhere as neither of us could afford flights to visit the other, but we wrote mucky emails to one another and it was quite fun.

He decided he was going to send me a vibrator.

Then he sent me two emails in quick succession. One where he told me he'd discussed it with his mother and she totally understood that he wanted me to feel him as if we were really having sex, so she was going to help him buy the vibrator. And the second - he'd found one in the back of his dad's truck and would I be OK with that one or did it need to be brand new.

Oh God. Just remembered the one who bought me a set of anti-aging test tube things from a pyramid marketing company called Amway.

Anti-aging goo as a gift... what planet was he on?

Charley50 · 30/05/2014 23:03

Poor taste in mugs

CundtBake · 30/05/2014 23:06

He set my 'favourite' channels on my sky box.

Who the hell did he think he was?!

teenagersknowall · 30/05/2014 23:08

curly, blonde hair.

Gripneededfast · 30/05/2014 23:26

Turned up one day to say hello at work in white shoes..I couldn't even look at him

Different guy

Joined me, at a school conference event, in the lunch queue, unasked... I ignored him from then on

CalamitouslyWrong · 30/05/2014 23:32

I seriously considered dumping a guy because he started wearing tight boot cut jeans and hideous moccasin style boots, but told myself to stop being so shallow and get over it. In retrospect I should have dumped him at that point and saved myself a lot of heartache. He was a wanker but I went out with him for 2 years and he did not treat me particularly well.

Gripneededfast · 30/05/2014 23:34

Gut feelings usually mean something maybe they are not as trivial as they seem

CalamitouslyWrong · 30/05/2014 23:42

I think you're right there.

I dumped a guy for being slightly possessive and weird on a night out. We'd been going out for a few weeks and we were out with his friends. He was annoyed that I wanted to go on to a club with everyone else rather than going home with him. So he reluctantly came along, got very drunk and then acted really weirdly. So I dumped the guy and then he kept turning up on my doorstep asking me to let him in etc (I had a ground floor flat so he could tell I was in). I vividly remember him standing on my doorstep, phoning me, begging me to let him in and refusing. It was quite scary.

If he hadn't turned into such an out and out weirdo, I might have chalked it up as a trivial reason to dump someone.

flusteredmumto2 · 30/05/2014 23:43

He turned up to a 3rd date in a wedding dress, fake boobs, make up....the works (to tell me he was a crossdresser) and had an overnight bag in which he had a few dildos he wanted me to use on him.
Hello..... taxi for one please.
Another tried it on with my best mate then text us the same messages the next day thinking we wouldn't talk.
Another said my kids were an inconvenience.
One had sex like a seal stranded on land.
Thank goodness I have my OH now. I really did have some dating disasters!

AmazingDisgrace · 30/05/2014 23:59
  1. Gorgeous man but unclothed looked like he was wearing a hair suit. Literally you couldn't see skin for all the hair. Arse, back.. everything.
  1. Showed me his bogey collection in a jar Hmm
  1. Kissed like a damp hoover
  1. Wanted me to shave all my pubes off Angry
CalamitouslyWrong · 31/05/2014 00:02
  1. Is most certainly not a trivial reason. A bogey collection.
AmazingDisgrace · 31/05/2014 00:06

Just for clarification we were in our 20s not at primary school

CalamitouslyWrong · 31/05/2014 00:07

Even in primary school that would be a sound reason for dumping someone. Grin

thonghangingontheline · 31/05/2014 00:09

Had sex like will from the inbetweeners whilst putting his teeth over his top lip staring into the distance.

Would say something then repeat it in a weird voice.

Moaned because he brought me pizza and I didn't sleep with him after Hmm

All the same guy!
