Your most trivial 'dealbreaker'... (lighthearted)

It's Friday, I read this article... Groom Dumped Over Failed Maths Test ... and wondered what relatively trivial failing in someone meant they didn't get that second or third date.

Mine was that he collected ornamental boxes and lined them up on his coffee table set-square perfect.

He gave me a home-burned CD of his music. It was awful. No second date for you, Mr Out of Key!

Balders74 · 13/03/2015 15:58

Mine was after seeing guy for a few weeks I realised I couldn't fart in front of him Blush It was agony, I couldn't go on Grin

GallicGarlic · 13/03/2015 16:42

Cog, that would have had me out of there, too, and I was unwisely tolerant of weirdness!

Right-wingish, Daily Mail reader turns of phrase like "all the immigrants". I just can't be arsed.

Not a first date, but the last man I went out with (in the 18th century or thereabouts) was mortally offended that a co-worker had called him 'black'. Now, the co-worker was extremely rude and illegally racist. But my date's outrage wasn't about that so much, as the fact this guy thought he was black ... so did I. But he was sure he was white Confused

Attractively arranged stacks of 'Anal Sex' magazine. I made my excuses and left.

ok... perhaps too much info but he used to do a weird ritual before sex which made me think wtf! It wasn't so much his technique but the way we got there and after a couple of times I just couldn't take him seriously anymore.

Turning up uninvited to visit me during my first week of uni.

HubertCumberdale · 13/03/2015 16:47

Once on a date a guy told me his favourite film was Dirty Dancing. Bye.
Also didn't offer a 2nd date to the guy that turned up to the 1st one wearing a vest.

NamesNick · 13/03/2015 16:54

guy I met at a christmas party, text me the following day 'may everyone you meet be blessed with your smile' or other such nonsense.

binned him off

FreckledLeopard · 13/03/2015 16:56

Killed a spider. Bastard.

DinoMight · 13/03/2015 16:57

Instead of cooking the meal he had lured me in with, he took me for a kebab.

HayDayRookie · 13/03/2015 16:58

Not being vegetarian, I'd honestly rather stay single forever.

BisleyBoy · 13/03/2015 16:58

One bloke smelled of fish. To be fair, he did work in a fishmongers......Grin

GallicGarlic · 13/03/2015 17:18

Onesugar, that is nowhere near enough info!

TheJiminyConjecture · 13/03/2015 17:23

He said the immortal line "May I go down on you?"

Just so cringey.

heartinthebronx · 13/03/2015 17:24

"make love to you"

"panties"

Oh and another one gelled his hair a la ross from friends and wore a rucksack on our first date. I was only interested in the first place because he was in the RAF and had a bit of a reputation. Couldn't get out of there quick enough!

Walking down the street, arm in arm, and he spat on the pavement.

Over!

HorridHenrysBrother · 13/03/2015 17:41

Used a tooth pick to clean his teeth at the table after every meal, even when we were eating out.

Left a wooly hat on to hold his ears down, all the time. And his ears were so big you could still see them sticking out under the hat.

The day he wore the hat AND did the teeth at the same time, I knew it was over.

wickedwitchofwaterloo · 13/03/2015 17:44

While DTD, he waggled his fingers and uttered this immortal line -
"lets give you a few more orgasms, shall we?"

Reader, I married him.

... Of course I didn't. I dumped him immediately.

Missqwerty · 13/03/2015 17:48

I dumped one ex for having mushy pea breath. The best one was with a gut I had just began seeing. After doing the deed he walked me home, outside my house he rubbed my belly and said we will have to get a baby in there.. Needless to say o never contacted him again !

APotNoodleandaTommy · 13/03/2015 17:48

Winked at me too much

Missqwerty · 13/03/2015 17:49

A Guy, not a gut Hmm

Nervo · 13/03/2015 17:49

About 13 years ago I dated a guy who told me that he really wanted an all-in-one to lounge about in. I just thought 'you want to wear a babygro?' Shock

I guess he was a visionary.

RubyFlint · 13/03/2015 17:51

Skids in his jeans. See ya!
