I went out of my way for a date to be set up for me with this guy .
Ah this was a long time ago , he was just so handsome & use to come into where I worked a lot at the time .
Long story short , had the date , went great , he was so hot now remember ! ,
went back to his , he took out a guitar & started singing me Elvis Presley songs !!! All night !!! 🙈.
His dream was to go to NashVille .
That was the end on “ The One “ 😂 😂

Eurgh 😄😄😄

How awkward was it just being sat there looking at him?!

Cried buckets at a party when his friend's girlfriend ended it with friend.

Gave me a necklace of a religious symbol (I wasn't religious) and when I pointed out that it wasn't something I'd like, and possibly offensive to said religious followers, he got uppity.

You'd have to assume he makes an effeminate and soft lover

Look after your feet, they have to carry you for the rest of ur dsys.

Had long fingernails

Yep cant do this or toenails or soft hands. I do wonder if its because all the men i grew up with worked trades and had callouses and short nails

CoffeeAndCats3 · 14/06/2026 23:23

Painted his finger nails. Black.
Ughhhhh...

GrannyWeatherwaxsHatpin · 14/06/2026 23:25

He had a money clip.

He fancied himself an “old fashioned gent” (he was about 40!) and was actually as naff as all hell.

I had a date many years ago with a gorgeous looking man. When we were talking he was trying to put on an upper class accent (he was from Blackpool) which was a bit cringe, but what did it was when he kept saying frequent instead of go. Like this- Do you like the Red Lion? I do, I often FREQUENT the Red Lion.
I thought he was trying to be funny so I laughed and he took offence.

@mumofoneAloneandwell The "ick" isn't real. It's just an excuse for committment issues.

If very minor and insignificant details annoy a person, then that person should reconsider whether they are suitable for relationships.

Oh the ick is very real!

Piknik · 14/06/2026 23:30

Had been on a few dates and we were at a restaurant that had a live DJ - mostly playing chill/ibiza/buddha bar type music. Date disappeared for ages and then suddenly (I actually feel sick writing this), he was on this little stage with the DJ and had the mic and launched into an Elvis Tribute Act thing.

I can't even.... He got really into it and was singing in a proper 'In the style of Elvis' voice.

I could feel my heart racing with sheer horror and just wanted to leave but was sort of rooted to the spot. Everyone was embarrassed, me, the other diners, the DJ. It was hideous. He sang two whole fucking songs and kept looking at me and smiling.

Elvis. FFS. He was 24

I cried on the way home. It was all the shame coming out. He sulked.

If it’s a “fancy new car” high chances are changing a bulb isn’t as easy as you might
think.

And can you imagine the reaction on here, if a man suggested a woman should change her own headlamp bulb, rather than get a garage to do it! It's clearly the car owners prerogative to handle it as they wish, and somewhat controlling to consider him 'wrong' to not do it himself!

Offered to help me build a very small piece of furniture... Got me to hand him every piece and study it for five minutes... I'd have done it quicker on my own

youplonkerrodney · 14/06/2026 18:14

He expressed admiration for Nigel Farage.

That has to be an instant dump and block. There's no excuse for anyone to like that scumbag!

Isanyonereallyanonymous · 14/06/2026 23:44

Baby talk and a tendancy to talk about himself in third person. He was late 40's 😳
Also, same guy, remember the scene from 4 weddings and a funeral where Hugh Grant is hiding in the wardrobe whilst the couple are having sex. And the guy is doing really over the top humping/thrusts? Yeah, he did that.
Loveliest bloke I know but yeah, couldn't get past those things!

Different guy. He wore a cardigan. Enough said.

MrMucker · 14/06/2026 23:49

Shit guitarman with earnest musician glances at me when anyone else would have recognised it's shag o'clock from the please fuck me face and being undressed. Both of us. On the bed.
Also you don't do earnest musician glances if you are an actual musician. Never went back as I was at risk of blurting that out and damaging him for weeks.

Cooked a perfect dinner, took our wine into the living room, dimmed the lights ... and put Barry Manilow on. Bye!
