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.

He kept on and on about his ex and suggested that next time we met up she came along too so she could meet his new girlfriend as he was sure we'd be really good friends. There was no next time

Another because he suggested that I'd look good in a tighter top...

@PrawnofthePatriarchy

He told me all about his obsession with decapitation. He wanted to know if you could still think and talk after your head had been chopped off.

The man who took me to a casino and lost over £3,000 in front of me. I was revolted.

I once went to Aspinall's with a man and the 'money' made me feel suffocated. It was bloody everywhere! And it had a bust of Lord Lucan in the foyer - as if he was former patron to be admired.

The restaurant wrote off the very nice dinner we had just enjoyed (i was given the ladies menu - with no prices!), on the assumption he'd spend some moolah in the casino.

The staff knew Mummy and Daddy, apparently!

I'm still waiting for a 'weird reason' -- all the people described in these are so odd or awful I assume they're entirely accustomed to not ever getting second dates!

OK just remembered the best one.

We went on a date to our local pub. While there he got his mates to join us because his ex is stalky and he didn't want the harassment. I was well aware of this plan so no issue.

At one point in the evening I made a terrible joke and his mate laughed so hard he threw his ring across the table and asked me to marry him. Date was not happy! Said friend had missed the memo about what was going on and they both had to go off 'for a chat'.

Am engaged to dates friend now. Date met his fiancée when friend ditched him for our first real date. He's now our best man.

Keeping up? So much cringe for his wedding speach 😂

And yeah stalky ex was more clued in than dosy fiancée and tried to Facebook harass me 🤣 Fun times.

And just to clarify, I didn't get engaged the day we met. Both couples got engaged on our respective one year anniversaries and I could be more pleased 😁

@Hollyhocksarenotmessy

Grey slip on shoes

That would have done it for me, too!

The last date I went on was at the cinema. I fell asleep on the shoulder of the complete stranger sitting next to me. I woke up to him trying to shrug him off whilst his girlfriend was laughing at me (thankfully). My date didn’t even notice. Was a very pretentious film critic who said something disparaging about the film and didn’t realise I had fallen asleep throughout it.

Trying to shrug me off, sorry

@Isaidnomorecrisps

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.

Oh The feet guys! Shudder 🤢.... Low-key regret not talking him in to buying me a pedicure and then running away. Nah! Still feels far too gross. The way he looked at my feet 🤪 I've never felt more violated and I've seen some shit!

I have been on way too many first dates that haven’t amounted to a 2nd...

The guy who told me he had just got out of prison, he had been inside for quite a long time for armed robbery 😬

They guy who looked nothing like his photo, was sooooo boring and had bad breath.

Not a first date but first time sleeping with someone and he suddenly came down with food poisoning rushed out the bedroom to the bathroom next door and I could here his explosive ass, he tried to return to bed and carry on 🤢🤢, I couldn’t look at him the same again so I went home and never went back.

I'm still waiting for a 'weird reason' -- all the people described in these are so odd or awful I assume they're entirely accustomed to not ever getting second dates!

The car ones are a little bit harsh though. Ruling someone out just because they don't drive. Unless they are always dependent on lifts or don't go anywhere as a result, what's wrong with not driving? Public transport is good in some places.

These are all so funny/weird/sick-inducing. Anyone else so pleased they have found their actual partner and don’t have to date strangers any more?

Rotund wee Scottish man who was a pathological liar. I just sat and listened (it was fascinating) and he got bolder and bolder. He told me he had killed more than 30 people, and slept with a thousand women. He was a master at just about every martial art and Gordon Ramsay had begged him to reveal his recipe for coq au vin.

Oddly, he didn't seem too bothered when I said I didn't want a second date. Maybe he realised he'd over-reached himself on ours.

You guys, some of these bad dates are commenting on the Daily Mail article! Apparently women are too picky and this is why we're single.

Also this comment:

"I went for a date with this guy, everything was ok . After dinner I left and said good buy ... when I got home he left about 20 messages on my answering machine .. that was a such turn off !!! Just changed my phone number and I never saw him again!"

The reply: "Why? He sounds loyal. Are you any better off now? Maybe he had been hurt."

Loyal

True, @DdraigGoch — I am a non-driver and would never have ruled anyone out on those grounds.

I once declined a first date with a very good looking guy, because he didn’t drive. It completely emasculated him. I posted on MN about it, and got completely annihilated. I’m now happily married to an equally good looking man who does drive!

Too picky for what though? If a woman doesn’t like a guy she should just swallow it (metaphorically ) and have a relationship for what? Her own good? His? (more likely)

Facial Hair.

On more than one occasion...

I have a few:
Clammy hands ,yuck
Talking about previous partners too much
Over affectionate too soon, way over the top
Poor use of grammar, saying things like "yous" and "I could of ..." Etc. I know it sounds shallow but it really put me off one man I met.

He wore a red leather jacket. It was just so.......red. And leathery. This was in the last six years.

Another one kept going on and on about a (very minor) car crash he’d had in his mum’s car and kept clutching his neck. I think he thought it made him interesting.

Another one made me watch Watership Down and went on about another girl the entire time.

I’m also a bit funny about teeth. And feet. I once went to meet a guy I was sort of seeing at his flat (we were going out to the pub, to paint the full picture) and he had bare feet. Totally freaked me out at the time, I was not ready for feet. 😱 but they were actually the most bearable man feet I’d ever seen and we had a nice evening

I’ve thought of another one! He had three J20s and acted drunk.

@Winterwoollies

I’ve thought of another one! He had three J20s and acted drunk.

That reminds me of the bloke who appeared drunk on two Pelligrino sparkling waters.

@daisyjgrey

Called his phone "a smart phone".

It is a smartphone

Before we had even left the house he produced a newspaper cuttings from his wallet to show my mum. It was a picture of a bride and he said that was what he wanted his future wife to look like on their wedding day.
I legged it's out of the back door and went to a mates house leaving him with my mum 😂
