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.

*ImTakingTheEssence Sorry if I've misunderstood, but that sounds horrendous, and like rape. Certainly not trivial (and sorry to read it was more than once he did that. )

Trivial stuff would be food related - if he didn't eat fish, or veg, or meat or something basic and normal. I have no issues with people having food intolerances (I do myself) but I couldn't live with someone who refused to eat fish or meat or vegetables - it would be too limiting!

God help either of my DSs if they try that - so far so good, they're pretty much omnivorous but I know things could still change...

In my teens, I stupidly got drunk and decided it would be ok to have sex with a male friend. I'd been with someone (who was older and more experienced) for a while and it ended badly, I was just pissed and miserable and looking for comfort.

Anyway, getting down to it, I remember thinking 'is it in yet?' next thing ya know he shuddered and that was it. The deed was done! I laughed. Hadn't even felt his cock!
Very awkward as I hurried him out the door.

I distanced my self after that, I just couldn't look him in the face! He then proceeded to stalk me and went a bit loony tunes when I started seeing someone. It was the end of our friendship.

Cog - it was at least only an asp (was living abroad yes) but he had gone out searching the fields for the poor wee thing. Luckily they only get to about a foot long. He then said if I didn't accept it he would have to kill it, so I grabbed the fish bowl, released the snake in the field later that evening and returned said fish bowl the next day.

Snoring in bed.

It was either leave him or murder him.

If the court was all females I know I would have got off scot free, but unfortunately men are on juries too...

So I left him

Took a bf shopping once as his dress sense was a bit Found a pair of shoes he liked, so I said "great, I'll buy them for you. What shoe size are you?" He looked bewildered and slightly horrified before replying "I don't know what size I am, my mum always gets my shoes". He was 26.

The week before he had come round to mine with really greasy hair. I asked him WTH? He was confused because he had washed it that morning. He'd washed it with conditioner. He didn't know there was a difference.

He was a really sweet, well meaning chap but just too sheltered for me.

Brian Clough impersonations

Wasn't really a bf, more of a male study buddy. Whenever we studied iny room he would take something of mine and move it. Usually up high where I couldn't find it. Or he'd hide it. After a few times it got annoying and boring and he was no longer welcome in my room and he then didn't want to study with me.

Refusing to order me a pint at a bar because 'girls don't drink pints. I'll get you a Malibu and Coke'.

When I pointed out that a) I liked ale and b) I didn't like Malibu - and c) I didn't really like Coke either - he scoffed and ordered the concoction anyway with an 'all girls like Malibu!'. Then insisted I paid for it because he was 'a bit skint'.

I left.

Oh, another one! Turned him down because he always sat cross legged on the floor at friends' houses. Even when there was a seat..It wasn't a posture thing, more of a submission/confidence thing. It was like a massive klaxon going off for me! If I remember right, he got married a couple of years later to someone he barely knew.

Told me he voted Conservative and admired Boris and Thatcher.

Told me over drinks that "Enoch Powell had a point".

Laughing like a donkey in the pub. Very loudly. My bum curled.

One guy spent our entire date at the cinema kneading my breasts. It wasn't remotely erotic, just annoying (and after a while rather uncomfortable). Sadly, being a very inexperienced teenager, I had no idea how to deal with it so let it carry on. I was so relieved when the film finished!

I actually don't think this is trivial, but after a really lovely date with a really lovely guy, I realised he kissed like a washing machine. That was the end of that.

One ex of mine invited me over to his house (still lived at home with his parents) gave me a tour of what turned out to be a lovely house. Anyway took me to his bedroom, turns out 25 years olds do still sleep in single beds ?? and if that wasn't enough to have me running for the hills afterwards he proceeded to get a photo album out and show me pictures of his ex girlfriend and ask me if I thought she was pretty!!!
The highlight of my night was the free lift home ??

Turned out to be vegetarian...

went on one date with a guy from Liverpool,

the way he said my name grated soooooooooooo much I could not bear even a second date. name ending cca - pronounced with a Liverpoool chhhhhhhhha (like Scottish loch)

Even though he was a lovely person.

As a 17 year old, had a considerably older boyfriend (obv i did not reveal true age!) He used to call a £20 note a purple drink token and £10 note a brown drink token :( but the final nail in coffin, was a footstool in shape of a tooth (he was a dentist).

I wrote this on the embarrassing dates feed... But it works for this one too. Although there is now more to the story since then...

While getting a little busy with a guy he groped my boob and said "Wibble wobble". Didn't know there was an instant off switch until that moment. Then I had to leave quickly for same lame reason. I made up.

This of course was made worse when the next day in the nursery I worked in the kids played the bean game. When the sport coach said "jelly bean" the kids had to wobble around saying "Wibble Wobble"

The following evening out with a group of friends (who were mainly guys) they asked how my date was and I told them. They stole his number and texted him the rules for dating a woman;

1. Look into her eyes
2. Say lovely things to her

3... 4... 5... Etc 10. Never say Wibble wobble He responded with a list of people it could have been male and female names... Had he done this to other ladies or had he just been telling all of his friends???

Fast forward 10 years- I was looking through some old photos on Facebook and the comments. A comment from a friend I had removed from Facebook during a clean out and haven't spoken to for YEARS no bad feelings, just drifted apart... Her last name changed... It looks familiar... Click on her to have a peek... OMG- she married Mr Wibble Wobble!!!!

I had one who said whilst DTD "do you like this; is this how ex-boyf did it?" and another (7 years my junior) who said he loved me and sent me 2 dozen red roses after I had very firmly told him he was a post break up fling!

ClockwiseCat I just can't abide the word orgasm. It makes me shudder.
Also the finger waggling. Please. No.

Also, I feel like a minor 'sleb. MN have used MY comment as the headline for this thread on FB. I HAVE FINALLY MADE IT

He wore a Jurassic Park T shirt on a date

He said I looked 'Yummy' - things went no further!
