Lighthearted!! Just that really. I love hearing these

ill start:

went on a date with someone and we played shuffleboard and after every turn of his he would loudly exclaim 'GO ON THE TSG' (his initials) he also did it after random sentences like 'I'll get this drink, YES THE TSG)

another guy would say WOOP WOOP and BOOM after every sentence. He ordered a steak and said to the waiter 'I'm going to have the steak please, well done, (another ick) WOOP WOOP

Another guy we were DTD and he kept thrusting in a complete circular motion and I quite literally dried up and left

another DTD time and the guys top lip and nostrils would spasm / quiver - I could get past that though.

please tell me yours, I could do with a laugh!

A lad at college was trying to chat me up. He just wasn't my type at all. He was also a cousin of a lad I was at school with who I didn't get on with. He was at same college as well. My mum worked at the college I knew she was in that afternoon working with the catering tech.

So as soon as our tutorial was over I legged it to where I knew my mum would be just to hide out. Asked what I was doing there said running away from Joe Bloggs. Then went to look out the window to make sure he had left. Mum and her colleague also came to window they said he looked all right.😂😂😂He hung around in the carpark for about 15 minutes then left.

Best thread for a long time OP.
Thanks!

Kept telling me he could smell my pheromones 🙃

One I lived with for 3 years (3 years too long):

  1. Spelled were as where. All the time.
  2. Wore nasty tracksuit bottoms to bed
  3. Didn't clean his teeth, just used mouthwash, it was a while before I realized he wasn't brushing them because his breath didn't smell bad due to the mouthwash
  4. During sex would say "Beg for my cock. Beg for it. You want my big cock (it wasn't big) don't you.
  5. Wore combats for some reason and liked to pretend he was in the army

Beg for my cock… Fucks sake 🤣🤣🤣

Freshers week - guy invited me back to his room to play video games. Immediately stripped down to his boxers and put on Aerosmith don’t want to miss a thing.

First date at a pizza place. Second date I invited him over for dinner and when he arrived he looked at the food and said “oh I only eat pizza!”

Ace56 · 31/07/2025 23:43

Went ice skating on a second date. It was his idea. He couldn’t skate at all and had to hang onto the side the whole time with 2 hands. Immediate ick.

Justgoodforthegetting · 31/07/2025 23:44

Messaging a guy I’d matched with on Tinder, asked why I was up at that time of night (night shift) and asked “Are you flicking your been”? …I instantly blocked him.

Im actually partial to a sext, but at least use the correct “bean”, but also, so unsexy 🤣

one guy led me into his bedroom the night before I was leaving on a girls holiday and he had hand written hundreds of post it notes and put them all over his bed, saying various versions of “you are my sunshine” “tell me you love me”🤮🤮🤮I really wondered if I’d walk out alive.

One was trying his hand at dirty talk, he called me a “dirty cow” while we were shagging🤣🤣 that one was sad actually because I adored him.

And this is absolutely ridiculous but years ago I had such a weird crush on Freddie Mercury, I used to go to watch tribute bands all the time, one night me and a mate went to see one and I decided I’d try my luck with “Freddie” afterwards, made my way to the dressing room to see a fairly normal guy who then said “oh love I’ve just taken my teeth out” in a THICK Brummie accent🤣

Disclaimer: no offence to Brummies, it was the whole situation.

3luckystars · 31/07/2025 21:29

Winner 😂

You just reminded me of a friend of mine this happened to, except it was:
‘TAKE IT’ 😂

we laughed for years

Even Keanu Reeves would give you the ick if he said "Receive my dick. Receive it"

TheodoraCrumpet · 31/07/2025 23:47

We sat fully clothed side by side on the sofa. He prodded my jumper vaguely in the region of my breasts, and told me he wanted to make love with me. With. Me. That was more off-putting than any deficiency in technique, which I couldn't really fault him for, having none myself. But With. No.

Hollybobs1 · 31/07/2025 23:56

DTD - after getting drunk in the local. Then he passed out and pissed all over my bed and floor.

smallsilvercloud · 31/07/2025 23:57

JustSawJohnny · 31/07/2025 23:07

I don't really believe in the ick but DP just nearly got himself murdered by reading out a phone number to me ONE NUMBER AT A TIME!!!

WTF is THAAAAAAAATTT?!!!! 😩

🤣 🤣 so much easier to say 11 numbers in one go

Sallyssn · 01/08/2025 00:00

One guy i was dating used to tell me during sex "chew it chew it"....
Can't believe I did now !

InternationalHulaClub · 01/08/2025 00:01

From on-line dating. He added 'lol' to every message, like 'just made myself a sandwich, lol!', or 'finished work early today, lol' WHY?? I didn't want to meet him IRL in case he spoke like that.

Ohnobackagain · 01/08/2025 00:02

@cadburyegg I’d have posted them to him 🫣

When a man hugs me from behind - it makes me think of the 'broke boyfriend hug' and I just can't get past it 🙃

What’s a broke boyfriend hug?

AuntMarch · 01/08/2025 00:15

Met up with a guy from OLD who took me to his friends house where a group were hanging out having a few drinks etc. Bit weird but whatever... but then it became clear they all thought I was his girlfriend.
After I made my excuses and left he text me saying how wonderful I was and he was so happy we were together - so he wasn't even lying to them as much as to himself. I told him we weren't and I wouldn't be meeting him again and he rang me. I didn't answer, but he was crying in the voicemail.

I'm not even much of a catch.

Aaw you were too dismissive of leather yellow tie man..🤣🤣🤣
That really was a collective of pricks.

It's Carl I feel sorry for.

Athreedoorwardrobe · 01/08/2025 00:20

I got the ick with a guy because it turned out he had false teeth at the front (having lost them in a bike accident when a teen)
Which i discovered because we had fallen asleep in bed together for the first time and these teeth had somehow gotten into the bed clothes and I rolled over onto them.
I was so repulsed! They sort of pressed into my hip and I was like 'ewwww' internally of course. I didn't say anything out loud, just handed them back to him.

I had a few days of soul searching because I was so physically repelled by that incident for some reason.
He was a wonderful person who I had found so attractive up to that point.
But I really had a wobble there!

Luckily I got through it because we are married now and have been for 15 years and he's the love of my life!!
The teeth don't bother me at all now and I've no idea why they set me off like that..
But when I tell you I was repulsed!! I almost ended it. Hated being so shallow but it really did me in. No idea why. It's not that big of a deal theoretically.
I told him about it years later and he found it really funny.

Isthisfairorwhat · 01/08/2025 00:31

Wearing a leather waistcoat
singing seriously in the car
thinking he knows it’s all
bad teeth

Derbee · 01/08/2025 00:36

Years ago I went on a blind date with a guy who after pretty much every (boring) story gave himself the absolute credit for how it turned out.

”I was driving on a dual carriageway and a car stopped dead without warning. I’ve got great reactions, but if had been anyone else driving it would have been a deadly accident”

”I was climbing a ladder and it slipped. Luckily I have great balance, but if it had been anyone else they’d have broken their neck”

Both in the same half hour of conversation 🤣

PaperMachePanda · 01/08/2025 00:40

Oh I have loads!

OLD guy, car was in the shop, so he says, whatever. I go to pick him up. Turns out he's organised a dinner with his parents. I'd only just met this guy and he wanted me to have a roast with all the trimmings with his mum and dad! I mean the food was lovely but it was VERY awkward. There was no second date.

The true crime guy. Now I love me a true crime podcast but this guy would not talk about anything else other than violence. It kind of scared me.

Dtd with a guy and he kept pausing to clear his nose loudly (not blowing his nose on a hankie but hawking it back up). I made my excuses and left.

Also had a few "Who's your daddy" men and no, just no.

Oh and then there was the guy who called himself the slammer. He had the smallest willy I have ever seen.

WeveAllBeenThere · 01/08/2025 00:44

I’d had a holiday romance with an Australia guy when I was on holiday in Thailand, he was very handsome, tanned with short dark hair! I met back up with him a year later when I went traveling in Australia and he was Lilly white, with long hair had put on weight! That was a total shock when I saw him, but the ick came when he was trying to flagged down a taxi and was swinging his long hair around like he’d just stepped out of a herbal essence hair ad!

GinJeanie · 01/08/2025 00:44

He described himself as feeling "pooped" after a week at work... 😕

InstantIck2 · 01/08/2025 00:44

The sexters are the worst … I had one who texted badly written soft porn and then asked if I wanted to play hide the sausage.
