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!

First holiday … boat trip where everyone is diving off the side or at least jumping in. He spent about 20 min wrapping those foam noodles around himself before gingerly going down the steps.

😆😆😆

Had a couple of dates with a nice guy, genuinely lovely person and good looking to boot.

Got the ick when he ordered a panini and fries, left the fries, and picked at half the panini (which took an hour to eat).

I love my food and I can’t stand fussy eaters so I was instantly out.

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.

Full London Eye 😂😂

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.

Did saucy wench guy have a brummie accent?

DTD - started yelling “Receive my di*ck. RECEIVE IT” repeatedly throughout

I cackled so loud I woke my dog up 😆

Bellavida99 · 31/07/2025 22:34

Texted me “Can’t wait to meat you” I couldn’t work out if it was a euphemism or he was illiterate but either way he never got to “meat” me.

Screamed with laughter at that!

Discussing (well, monologuing really), cheese and onion crisps at length.

If he didn't conclude that McCoy's cheddar and onion were the best I can entirely understand why you gave him the elbow.

I just find this so funny. For some reason it’s made me laugh for about five minutes. Thank you!

Mine seem ridiculous compared to some of these horrors, but they are two different people and both language related. I’m probably weird.

I got massive and irrevocable ick after I noticed a previously fine man held the ‘m’ sound at the end of a word far too long. I couldn’t unhear it and it just drove me mad.

Bummm and hammm were particularly grating, but then he said ‘liPP balmmm’ and it was over.

The other was a guy who seemed to speak in copywriting even though that wasn’t in any way his job. Everything he said sounded like a social media caption. Actual quotes:

“I only had time for a quick dinner last night, so it was baked beans with a perfectly proportionate grating of cheddar atop lightly toasted sourdough, just grazed with a scraping of butter.”

”I’m delighted you’re also a reader of books. There’s nothing so wonderful as whiling away an hour in a cosy nook, engrossed in my latest read, being warmed by a steaming mug.”

Awful.

Ocado Magazine/Take A Break man is cracking me up!

Ended a phone call by saying “kisses to your pink parts” … horrors

No 🤣 what have I just read

fowyvyot · 31/07/2025 23:01

One bloke I was with kept asking me "Is that nice?" or "does that feel nice?" all the way through sex. Everytime he did something different, he asked if it was nice. Instant ick.

He also constantly referred to having sex as making love. "Do you want to make love tonight?" "I enjoyed making love last night"
And if he got an answer he didn't want he said "awwwwwww" like a kid would if they were disappointed about something. Awful.

pinkstripeycat · 31/07/2025 23:02

When my DH mimics his dad’s voice. 🤮

Blueuggboots · 31/07/2025 23:04

@HowardTJMoonit was many moons ago…I think it was between KP and walkers but I’m not sure as I’d zoned out….🤣

Like that awful advert for audible books.

Oh that effing advert! makes me feel homicidal

Ohnobackagain · 31/07/2025 23:04

@cadburyegg I get that people are distracted by purple parsnip but - a toenail collection? Maybe he and @Iceandfire92 ’s ex were secretly comparing notes - 🤢

VanessaFence · 31/07/2025 23:06

At the end of a date he stands behind me, puts his arms around my waist, looks up at the sky and whispers "look at the stars...aren't they beautiful?"

fowyvyot · 31/07/2025 23:06

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

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?!!!! 😩

oldmanandtheangel · 31/07/2025 22:00

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...

🤣 how did you keep a straight face?!

BlueOceanFish · 31/07/2025 23:08

DTD with a guy, he was struggling to finish up so got up and put on ‘Smack my Bitch up’ by Prodigy really loudly.

He then came.

fakegrassdisappointment · 31/07/2025 23:09

Whilst DTD he yelled “oh my giddy aunt!”.
it was the beginning of the end.

Guy I met OLD. He was a 40 year old virgin. with good reason. Whenever we kissed, his lip scum would end up in my mouth. I'd be picking it off my teeth! I nearly puked! He also had smegma. I went out with him for far too long before the ick finally caught up with me!
Oh and he had dreadful table manners-it was a horror for the ears and the eyes.
God only knows why I put up with him for so long!

Oh gads .. that made me feel ill 🤢
