To ask what's the weirdest reason you have decided to not go on a second date with someone?

[SnowDogFarts]

Just imagine you are on a first date with someone and it's going good until...that moment they say or do something that instantly switches your brain to "nope."

I had a first date with someone after chatting to them for a few weeks. It was going well and we were walking through one of my favourite country parks (beautiful) with a takeaway coffee when he decided to dump the empty cup on the floor, when there were bins dotted around everywhere. And that was the moment right there that couldn't be undone. I guess I don't like litterbugs 🤷‍♀️

So, tell me, what was their crime? Big, small, weird, wonderful or other.

When I first split up with my ex h I went out on a date with a guy I already knew who looked and sounded perfect. I’ll set the scene... tall dark and handsome, from a far flung country originally by birth but raised here, very very good city job, posh car and a sporty motorbike(that I got to have a ride on), outdoorsy type, a bit Bear Grylls. He turned up for the date in double denim. Stone wash. Even worse, the shirt was sleeveless. With beige loafers on his feet. Not good.

I don't drive, I don't see why I need to
I live with my mum
Our dd didn't have any vaccinations
My DS is home schooled

These would put me off too and the phone pouch that's gold!!!

I went to a Japanese restaurant and the guy made me cry because I couldn't use chopsticks!!

Teeth are usually the reason. Or smoking

Nice dinner, decent evening until...he told me that because he worked in pharmaceuticals, he could get the necessary antibiotics for any sexually transmitted diseases

We met up for a drink he said let’s go to a nice place, he took me to weatherspoons. And at the end of the date he said wouldn’t it be lovely we became f...buddies. I sent him a message the next day saying I think there was no chemistry and a No to a second date. He blocked me 🤣🤣🤣

We went on a lunch date and he ate half a panini and a few bites of salad for lunch.

I nailed the whole panini, chips, Mayo and salad.

I couldn’t cope with someone eating like a flea. I love my food!

Met a lovely tall, fit, rower at a friend's noisy party and arranged to go on a date. He was actually really nice and initially it seemed to be going well but then he laughed - and it was this awful high pitched girls laugh. Totally at odds with how he looked, but tbh, pretty unsexy on any man. Total nope.

Couldn’t use cutlery properly - held the fork in a fist and stabbed chicken with it...kinda switched off after that.

He turned up in hideous cowboy boots!

There've been a few...mainly ones where they obsess on a particular thing.

I met someone who had actually changed their name by deed-poll to be that of the lead singer in the Sweet. I assumed it was just a coincidence.

Someone else was obsessed by Spain, specifically Mallorca, specifically the Magalluf/Palma Nova area and didn't want to talk about anything else, even though I've travelled extensively on the island (all over, including Magalluf/Palma Nova...).

Someone who told me they were desperate to be a parent on the first date as well. I travelled all the way to Kent from North London to hear that particular gem.

Diff dates:

-I’m vegan, he worked in an abattoir.
He had previously told me he worked in insurance.

-dating pictures were of his mate not him. And about 30 years old.
I was 24, he was almost 50, 8 stone heavier, unemployed (said he was an estate agent) and wore an ankle tag. I didn’t ask why.

-asked me if there was room at mine for his kids to stay one week on, one week off- deadly serious, first date. He wanted this arrangement to start imminently. Said I would be good for his custody case because I had my home and I worked with kids. Felt more like a job interview than a date.

-said I’d look great if I lost weight. I was a size 10 and he was not a slim Jim at all.

-said I’d look better with blonde hair. I would not.

-tried to change my political views by telling me that “women don’t see the wider picture....” and really they need to consult menfolk to inform their voting preferences.
I have a first class politics degree and a masters. I worked in Brussels for a while after graduating, I can make up my own mind thanks!

-asked how it felt when I disappointed my parents when I had a baby without being married. And then wouldn’t let it drop.

So many more!!

@LazyLucille

I didn't like his finger nails. Something about men with the whites of their nails showing that puts me off.

I don’t like men with long fingernails either!

Perhaps not a weird reason, but he rang to ask me out for a second date and got my sister instead, so he tried chatting her up.

"Didn't you tell him you were 12?"
"Yes, of course I did! He said it was fine!"
🤮

Disclaimer- I have nothing against bigger guys, intact I love a “dadbod” but he was a totally different person and I felt he was deceitful through the pics and conversations leading up to the date. That was the turn off.

Told me he'd been bullied at university because he'd been a member of the BNP. I fled.

I'm ashamed of this. I met a really nice German guy in my local pub. He and a friend were over here teaching to improve their English. We got on well and he eventually asked me out. We went out for a drink and then back to his place. He decided to show me some photos of himself, one of which was a photo of him in his army uniform during national service, which, at that time, young men did every so often. When I looked at his jack boots, my stomach turned cos he looked like a nazi. There was no second date.

Aglet you should be pretty ashamed of that

Aglet. They are called army boots. Unless you are 101. In which case, good on you for still being up for a date.

He unlocked his phone as it was lying on the table, and I couldn't help but see that his phone wallpaper was a close up photo of Nigel Farage.

We went to the cinema on our first date. Great meal, conversation flowing, bit of hand touching over the table. Went to the cinema, and a black person was starring in it. "Oh, it's a n**r film" he said. I got up there and then and walked out. Never saw him again. What a cunt

Whoa There !

First dates,
What about the ones who ask what's the weirdest reason you've heard of not to go on a second date, and then tell you theirs and all their friends, and then the ones of all the FRIENDS that they have made on various Fora.

We met at Starbucks where he sat back in his seat with crotch forward and one arm weirdly dangled over the back of the seat. It actually felt like I was on a date with Alan Partridge himself.

I met someone at a night club and he told me he worked in a hospital. I thought great, what a catch. The next day we met up for coffee and I asked him more about his job and it turned out he was one of the labourers renovating the local hospital
Not a doctor then...

We went to a nice wine bar and he said he really liked feet, tried to grab my right one, managed to get the boot off and started massaging it.
I kid you not.
I made my excuses, got my foot back and left.

He stunk of stale B.O. The kind where it's clear you haven't showered/washed your clothes for a while.
He was really cute, funny & kind... Just couldn't get past the smell!

I had a first date at uni with a guy who wore all black, with white trainers.. I just didn’t like the look 🤦🏼‍♀️. It’s probably trendy now but I’m too old 🤣
