To have got “The Ick” 20 mins into date?

[Pacif]

Went on a date yesterday, just lunch. OLD.

We got talking politics to which he proudly announced “It’s UKIP all the way for me!”

I said “Do UKIP still exist??” To which he looked a bit worried and said “Err I’m not sure to be honest? I think so?”

how can you “support” a party that you don’t even know still exists?? So I said “well, did you vote for them last time?” And he said “I think so, I can’t remember to be honest ha!” ???? I said “May elections? Did you vote for them then?” So he dodged the question and asked who I voted for. I told him and he said “oh yes, me too - I remember now”

Everything else went fine but this small snippet of conversation has put me off. AIBU? BIL thinks this was on me for “badgering” him about his political choices but he was the one who brought politics up - as well as who he allegedly supported!

No what are you on about actually??
PP said she once went on a date with a guy who said he met with a woman one time who said she would like to be raped !

so he votes Reform - a massive ick! a big no from me!

That made me laugh so much I have a horrible feeling it will pop into my head and I'll end up saying "Ice and a slice?" next time I'm in a pub before I've properly remembered why its funny.

No, he didn't say he'd met a woman who had said that. He said that in his opinion, that he believed... that women who hadn't had sex in a while would quite like to be raped.

Very different.

I'd probably go on a second date if he offered, just out of sheer fascination and desire for a laugh. That's hilarious.

Nooo !
That is not what she said , she said she met with a guy that said he met with a woman who hadn’t had sex for a while & she said she would “ quite like to be raped “ to him !

he's probably a Farage fan but a bit slow on the uptake and doesn't realise that he has created yet another party in an attempt to pave his way to Downing Street, Just as welll you found out so soon.

It depends how interested in politics you are.

I'm very interested, but most people aren't. He probably didn't vote, many people don't. One of my friends is a doctor, she heard an MP on the radio the other day with a similar name to mine, thought it was my name and asked me if I had become an MP (since I saw her a week or so before, having never mentioned it, this MP is also Tory and I am well known for being very anti Tory) - she literally has that little interest in politics that she doesn't know what an MP is or how they are elected (she seemed to think I might have been "awarded" it or something for work I do in the community - which actually doesn't sound like a bad way to get MPs!). She doesn't understand political parties at all.

Anyway, I could not be with someone with so little knowledge or interest that they claimed to support a party they know nothing about. Nor someone who claimed to support UKIP, but that's a different issue really.

You know everyone can read the posts you are replying to and see that you are just making that up, yes?

Yep. Whatever they’re calling themselves these days, I still see them as the BNP just with more expensive suits and a snake oil salesman as their spokesman.

Still the same knuckle dragging Neanderthals in the background

You read the post incorrectly !
I’m not making anything up , that’s what was said , not your version of it , you read it wrong .

I love hearing dating ick stories

I'd have been out the door at 'It’s UKIP all the way for me', never mind the general cluelessness.

Don't feel bad, at least your ick had a solid reason. I once walked up to a date and knew at fifty yards that he gave me the ick, it was like a physical reaction to his slicked back hair and fussy clothing. Somehow I'd not got that from his online photos, but in reality I felt repulsed. Had to sit through a drink to be polite before leaving.

Well, I haven't made a "version" of it, so you're making that up too.

Missj25 you have misunderstood The Light Side of the Moon's original comment. Everyone is just trying to point out your mistake.

Read it again and you'll see they are correct.

My dating ick was when he walked into a Saturday afternoon coffee date in a hideous cheap suit that looked like something dd by Mr Byrite in 1985, complete with a matching tie and pocket handkerchief and to complete the look, blue mirrored sunglasses that probably cost 5 euros from the looky looky man on Benidorm beach.

First and only time I picked up the whole tab just to get out of there

Totally agree. I’m seeing it same way as you and pretty much everyone else

Christ. A doctor as well 🙄

Are you actually listening to yourself ! , I’m not making anything up , that’s what was written , you read it wrong , won’t admit you glossed over it & never read it correctly.

Now if you’ll excuse me , I must go check on dinner .

If only!! We'd still be in the EU and not an economic basket case.

Are you having lasagna?

What's a waifu?

Nope, that’s not what she said.

So you're put off by his lack of knowledge of his preferred party, not by the fact that he supports fascist scum?
