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!

Even though he was the best ex I've had (and we are still friends) another guy used to call his mother, 'Mum Mum' and it totally gave me the ick despite how hot he was.

Oh fucking hell!!

It was over 20 years ago.

I am single - I did too much OLD and everything gives me ick now. I could be on a date with Cillian Murphy if he found himself single and there would be some ick.

I’ve mentioned this on similar threads before, but the guy who, whilst attempting to talk dirty, called my clit my ‘love pimple’

Beamur · 31/07/2025 22:04

So many..
The guy who told me not to wear nail varnish.
The guy who talked incessantly about his ex
The weird eating guy
The dry tongue kisser 🤢
The one I quite liked until my friend pointed out something icky and I got the ick
😄

Echobelly · 31/07/2025 22:05

Date with a guy I got on Ok with, but then he said something like 'I can tell you're a very cynical person' - I think he was trying to be flattering, like 'You're intelligent because intelligent people are cynical' but I actually hate that attitude because I think there's nothing smart inherently about being cynical, and nothing dumb about being cheerful or optimistic. He just got me so wrong it was a big 'nope'

mrschocolatte · 31/07/2025 22:06

I had a massive crush on a guy on my Uni course and we finally got together one night in the student union bar. Went in for a snog and all I got was…teeth. Didn’t matter what I did our teeth kept smashing into each other. I persevered and went back to his digs and he put 2 cigarettes on his bedside table which he explained was for ‘after we had sex’. I made my excuses and left.

On a first date with another guy and having dinner in a lovely restaurant. Every time I said something mildly amusing, he would chuckle and then shout ‘YOU ROCK’ accompanied by a strange hand gesture and fingers pointing in my general direction. I made my excuses and left.

I was doing the deed with another guy who kept calling me a ‘saucy wench’ with every thrust. If I could have, I would have made my excuses and left.

oldmanandtheangel · 31/07/2025 22:06

The second ever man I did the deed with. Ten years older than me and I was fairly inexperienced. However, got the total ick when he warned me he had 'very violent orgasms so don't be scared'.
He sounded like an exploding steam train when he came and jerked about like he'd been tazered.

cadburyegg · 31/07/2025 22:06

Just remembered this. My ex husband had a weird thing about keeping his toenail clippings. I once found some hidden behind a book in a glasses case.

He also referred to his willy as his “purple parsnip”.

When I discovered all his accounts on the dating apps, one of his usernames was “BillyBigBalls”.

SharpLily · 31/07/2025 22:06

Oh no, I had a bloke do the circular motion thing once too. He was lovely, I was gutted. I remember grasping his hips, trying to keep him still but he seemed instead to take it as encouragement and went full London Eye. I gave it one more go after that but even though he was really hot and very sweet, just no. Sad times.

I once had to dump a bloke I was particularly keen on because he used a phrase that reminded me of my father (a dickhead). I can't even remember what the phrase was now but it made me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

The worst was the time I married a bloke I'd only known for a few weeks (yes, I know, you don't need to tell me. I was very young), only to discover a few weeks later that he (regularly) used the phrase 'indeedy do'. FML.

One guy gave me a long lecture about how much housekeeping money he would give me on date 3. Not much.

To which I hope your reply was "What makes you think I'll ever be your house-keeper?"

One guy who got his camera out & suggested we do a “sexy photoshoot” for a swingers site he was on (allegedly). He held the camera aloft, seductively, while wearing his ratty towelling dressing gown (hanging open, so I could see the merch)

InstantIck2 · 31/07/2025 21:47

I was in shock! Also desperately trying not to laugh.

Ok you win

I am absolutely cracking up at the receive it guy WTF

i had a guy who was also quite vocal in the bedroom but instead of saying 'fuck yeah' he would say 'fork yeah'
(southern RP accent.....)

I’m going to use the ‘receiving your dick’ line on my (long term with a sense of humour) partner next time we get together and see what happens.

you are brave!! Please let us know how you get on but be careful as it might be irreversible damage.

Wtf.. there's nothing else I can think to say to that.

Imisscoffee2021 · 31/07/2025 22:11

He kissed me after eating scampi. I'm a vegetarian. He used his tongue. There was still scampi in his mouth. 25 years ago at least and still a visceral ick.

"love pimple" OMG 🤣🤣🤣

Teenytwo · 31/07/2025 22:12

I went to a pub with one after a meal and he shook the hand of every member of staff saying (at least 5) “hiya mate you alright” I found it embarrassing and OTT but brushed it off and asked if he used to work there or was a regular, he hadn’t been to that pub before so hadn’t met them. Then discovered he actually lived 8 houses down from me, the dogs glad of it though because we go the long way round for our walks so I don’t bump into him.

I brought one guy home after a breakup just to get it out of my system, he realised after DTD that my ex had the same name as someone his ex cheated on him with. Walked around making comments like “ha I just fucked you in Toms bed” “ha I’m pissing in Toms toilet” I did point out it was my house not my ex’s and opted to block him as he left.

Shayisgreat · 31/07/2025 22:12

This is the best thread I've read in a while!

PickleJelly · 31/07/2025 22:13

I had been seeing someone for a few weeks and we went to a nice steak restaurant. We decided to get a bottle of wine to share. He took a sip of the wine and a small amount trickled down the side of his glass. He slowly licked the glass from top to bottom with the whole of his tongue flatly pushed up against it. The whole time he was doing it (which felt like forever) his eyes were locked with me, once he finished licking, he winked at me. 🤮🤮
There was no coming back after that.

I know I've mentioned on here before in similar thread, but my first boyfriend, who couldn't pronounce his R's and would refer to himself in the third person, eg
'Wichard is widiculously wandy' . I can tell you, it didn't make me 'wandy' at all...

Dying at this 🤣🤣🤣🤣

3luckystars · 31/07/2025 22:13

Purple Parsnip 😂😂😂😂😂

The tears are rolling down my my face. If only you could combine a few of these, receive it, take my purple parsnip
