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

[CogitoErgoSometimes]

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.

Him: "I can't get hard with condoms, you understand, don't you?"

Me: "Oh how awful for you. Hope you find a nice girl who dislikes them too. Byeeeee!"

Actually very few of these are trivial deal breakers!

Wore a pale blue wooly cardigan to a fancy restaurant.

His favorite actor was Steven Segal. Just no.

Met him for a date and he was wearing jeans and a denim jacket, it was so hideous. I was mortified walking down the street

"I haven't read a book since school." With pride.

Nope.

Said "like" all the time, like.

"I was like going into work, like, and met my, like, manager in the lift, like..."

Once I noticed it I ended up counting how many times he said it in conversation and didn't actually listen to what he said. Max was 47 I think. Oh, and he was early thirties, not some young fella!

These are great

He whistled, nope.

Met an American guy in a bar once and we went out on a date. I drove and on my arrival he expressed much surprise that I was driving a car with a gear stick and not an automatic car. He then spent the entire journey telling me when to change gear. The whole journey was just him going

"second"
"Third"
"Fourth"
"Third"
"second"...........................

There was no second date and the record I was a perfectly proficient driver

-- Lied about his height (internet date; frankly if you lie about that what else are you going to lie about and HOW did you think I wouldn't notice that you're shorter than me?!)

-- Said something along the lines of "I don't go there because of all the [racial slur]"; NOPE BYE

God monkey you reminded me; one American guy insisted that I wait to light my cigarette. I got bored waiting and lit it; he put it out. He then did a shot of sambuca, set it on fire in his mouth, and got me to re-light my cigarette from that.

For reading the newspaper outloud and making a real weird noise DLD the end bit.
He was a really, really lovely chap too I was gutted but just couldn't put up with it!

DLD the end bit ???

I dumped a boyfriend when, after half a dozen times, I realised he would only do sex in the one (not v comfortable) position ... and would continue to put my knickers on his head & dance round the bedroom after! Plus he was boring.
I really should not have got past the first date. I'm meaner now - and have fewer dates, obvs.

WONAR, I terminated a first date when he took my cigarette off me and stubbed it out. He knew I smoked: certainly not his role to decide when & how often, the twat!

Went on a date with a man who I only knew by his nickname, found out his name was Clive mid date, we went for a curry and he ordered for me, one poppadom each share a rice and share a naan, he was younger than me and a bit of a party animal so I thought he had expected to pay but was skint so let it slide rather than humiliate him, he then got his calculator our and split the bill to the penny and refused to tip, the only reason I stayed that long is he had picked me up! My dh always laughs as I love curry and always get a feast when we go!

Another one was I was dating a bloke and we had a lot to drink went back to his the next morning woke to find skids on sheets like he had wiped his arse as he got up, then found in place of a bedside table a metal bin half full of fag butts....im talking 100's of the things walked out while he was making a cuppa.

First date with a Sikh man from India. We met at university. He bought me a big expensive bowl of fruit and announced we were now engaged. I thought he was joking. Oh no. Over our meal, he described how once we were married, he would be bringing over his parents and seven sibling to live with us. I could not shake him off. He followed me home, invited himself into my room and forcibly kissed me with his tongue reaching my tonsils. I made it perfectly clear he was dumped and told him to fuck off.

A few weeks later my parents were visiting and he introduced himself as my boyfriend! I made it quite clear again that he was dumped, in front of my parents, in case there was any misunderstanding.

Kept clapping his hands loudly after making a point.

We were out for dinner and people kept looking round thinking he'd cracked me one

at the first date engagement and knickers on head

Bad hands. Nice hands are an absolute must. Short, stubby fingers ugh.

One guy complained that when I cooked dinner the windows steamed up.. So I never cooked for him again!

'Please don't buy The Times again, The Sun burns loads better'. Said without a hint of irony with regards to lighting the fire.

Once went on a date with a guy who wasn't wearing any socks. (He had leather brogues on) Just wrong.

Another student one.

A knock on my door.
My boyfriend is back from his holiday travels. He hands me a box of chocolates.
This I wasn't expecting as I don't much like boxes of chocolate.
Him: They're to apologise.
Me:For what?
Him: For me sleeping with my ex girfriend while we were on our break. We met up and I couldn't help myse....Hey, your throwing has really come on! That wall must be 20 feet away! Are you going to pick up those chocolates now and clean the mess off that wall?
Me: You're next!

(We are actually still friends, we just should never have been any more than friends.)

He sent me a huge bouquet of flowers and a letter saying how much he had enjoyed our first date. When they arrived (I still lived at home) my brother looked at me incredulously and said he'd never sent a girl flowers ever. I did write back saying that we should just be friends and got a really snotty note back saying that I had totally misunderstood and we were just friends, he had never intended any more. Yeah, 20 year olds always send flowers and letters to girls they are just friends with.

Different guy, used to have a bit of a porn issue and would regularly be late to meet me because he wanted to squeeze in one more wank before he went out. Nice to be left standing outside MacDonalds for half an hour because your boyfriend wants a third wank!

Eeeuww, Arthur! Hope you stuffed his worn-out dick in one of those scorching apple pies.

First date - after one drink leaned over and asked if I take it up the arse and seemed quite shocked I didn't respond positively!
