You meet the one. They're perfect for you. Then youve got the ick so badly you eant to set fire to yourself. What petty thing did they do?? 👀

Eaten tuna 🤢

Monstrous food eaten by those with poor morals.

He still lived at home (we were 20 so fine) but any books his bought, once he read them his mum would whisk them straight off to a charity shop without even asking. He’d just find them gone.

He had an empty bookcase in his room, could hardly remember the details of any books he had read because he had only read them once and all he said was “yeah it‘s a shame but what can I do”

He turned up on a first date with chocolates in a gift bag for me.

Oi, you!!! Leave my Bazza alone 🤣🤣🤣

And that gave you the ick???

Thats quite sweet actually 🥰

Ha ha...

He wore old man’s pasty shoes to our date and a very long doctor who scarf

it was over at that point

Don't be ridiculous....

I know it makes no sense- isn't that what the ick is?

It's so sweet theoretically but just felt he was trying too hard. I used to be a sucker for the bad boy type!

Kissed me after eating scampi without drinking something to rinse his mouth first, crumbly bits in my mouth and I'm a vegetarian so that just sealed the dea.

I know right! Buy for no reason at all I suddenly got the ick. It was actually so sweet and with the benefit of experience maybe I would not have the ick now. It was about 20 years ago so lack of experience in dating. Maybe I let a good one slip away!

I saw him using a broom to sweep up. That was it. Game over.

as opposed to what?

On a first holiday abroad faffed about for ages smoothing his towel over a lounger and pegging it on with ordinary pegs from home.
Then got out a blow up pillow and faffed about blowing that up and trying to peg it down.
I realised I’d gone to a beach bar with Mr. Bean.

Surely thats what a broom is for? Was it the manner in which he swept that gave you the ick? 😅😅

Ordered his food first at every meal unless the server purposely ignored him and asked what the lady would like.

when he was ill went home to his mum so he could sleep in his old bed and Mickey Mouse pyjamas - yes totally true

Wore his teams football shirt to go out even though he wasn’t watching or playing sport.

Wore sketchers and crocs

(Different men)

Took a phone call from his mum when we were in bed together having sex (not actually doing it, at that very moment, but still...).

Made me walk in the gutter so he was taller than me. I only stayed with him that evening because I was 16 and he was my ticket into an over 18 venue.

Dating app one (and obviously she wasn't 'the one', as per the thread title, but...)
Me 60+ years, her late 50s. We met for the first time, had a nice chat over coffee etc. Then she asked for a selfie with us cuddling. This felt a bit 'forward', so I asked why. She wanted to send it to her ex-husband. Didn't see her again.
Also last year, also dating app. I really liked her, tbh, but every one of 6 dates had to include her dog. Which ruled out cinema, theatre etc. So that didn't last beyond that point. Pity really, but too much woof woof.

A) He smoked

B) In the absence of an ashtray, he dottled his fag ash onto his jeans and rubbed it into the fabric. When I saw this, I realised that he must have done this 200 times since the jeans were last washed as there were massive shiny grey areas on his jeans over his thighs. I thought I was going to be sick, went to the loo and then left as I had 'an emergency'.

Oh, thank god 😂😂😂 I was wondering why on earth you stayed with this paragon long enough to find all that out!

We'd been seeing each other about 6 months and he had a key. Not living with me, just a key for convenience. I had a long day at work. Arrived home to find him beaming from ear to ear and covered in paint. He'd covered everything in my little sitting room with dust sheets and re-painted the walls in a poxy blue colour, with an 'accent wall' of poxy blue patterned wall paper.

He thought the room looked as if it needed decorating. He thought I'd be pleased. All my carefully planned warm tones gone and he thought I'd be pleased. I screamed at him for a bit, wrenched his key off his key ring and threw him out forever.

Guy here. I went off a girl because her second toes were longer than her big toes.

But it may have voided the warranty so can understand this....

Ys @Delladuck WTF? The thread said 'petty'. That's not petty. He should be drowned in the canal for that!😫
