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.

It really is, Dobalina, isn't it!

He said he loved me, then bought me a pink lacy jumper for my birthday. I figured if he even liked me at all, he'd have realised that was a bad idea.

First date ..... He took me to the opera, cooked me a lovely meal with freshly prepared passion fruit something for pudding, had his own nice place, perfectly charming all evening BUT ....

as we said good-bye he carefully re-adjusted my scarf in a motherly kind of way ....

Sorry but he had to go!

There was the one who took a shine to me because we lived near one another. I should have backed off because of the heavy weed habit and his love for his massive speakers. We had one date at a night club where everyone knew him (I think I was supposed to be impressed but it was odd and a bit intimidating. Especially when the DJ called out his nane and announced tge next song was for him) . I might have got a but drunk. We walked back to his flat and he seemed to assume that this meant we would gave sex. He was on top of me trying to get my passion killer control tights off when something in my head went 'wtf am I doing here?'
I aaid no I don't want to and he asked why! I didn't really know what to say to that so I said I might be HIV positive. We argued over the likelihood of that for a bit until it was clear he was no longer interested and I'd 'ruined his night' and I went home.

Sorry about the many typos.

Used the line, "wouldn't you love it if I got you pregnant?" On a first date

He was 10 years older than me, went on and on about how he was financially secure and an amazing prospect. I was a bit bemused by his room, plain mattress on the floor, but the house was lovely and I didn't want to be shallow. I wasn't interested in him for his money, but he seemed so together and mature. Until we went into the living room and he introduced me to his parents, who he still lived with.

She could not ride a bike.

A long long time ago...

First date, all very casual, meeting for an early evening drink for an hour or so. He was dressed up and smart, I was in jeans. Never mind, not a deal breaker. Quite intense but nice enough.

He was going to drop me off in his car, I got in front seat. He reached over for a snog, why not I thought...

Barely two minutes of slurping and then he started groaning, writhing around and making the face. WTF I thought. He leant back and said 'umm, have you got a tissue, I've cum'. Most embarrassing with a kiss on a first date!

That was the end of that!

I had a blind date with a man who worked for the MOD i thought this one will be ok turn out he was into barn dancing and asked me to go with him , i was straight out of there

When I was 17, I dumped a boyfriend because he chewed apples with his mouth open. Awful. I stand by that decision.

Unfeasibly soft hands

So many of these remind me of my exes...

1. The one who's lips looked like a duck bill and made my face all wet when he kissed me.

1. The family friend I shagged after a few too many. His willy was so small that I couldn't even feel if it was in (and this was pre-children FFS!). Thankfully, it was over in a few seconds.

I still can't look him in the eye and make up a reason to leave the room.

1. The much older boyfriend who wanted to impress me by DTD in time to Ravel's "Boléro". I think he may have lasted four bars. From the beginning.

1. The boyfriend about whom I had a "Not Without My Daughter" nightmare after out first date. I felt horribly guilty about it, that I was subconsciously making a racial stereotype, as he was Iranian.

However, became very clingy, controlling and jealous. He eventually ended up stalking me until my father told him off. I should have known: My dog used to purposefully go over to him to fart and used to belch in his face. She was obviously an excellent judge of character.

1. I'll leave you with my last boyfriend: He showed up for our first date with a dozen long-stemmed roses. Only half of them were red, and it was close to my birthday, but even still, I did feel it was a bit OTT.

After our second date, he rang me up and asked, "Are we exclusive? I have another date tonight and I want to know if I should keep it." Alarm bells should have been ringing, but instead of simply putting the phone down on him, I said, "Well, that's up to you, mate. We've only gone on two dates." He decided he'd "break it off" with the other woman. I guess I should have been flattered, as about 2-3 mths in, he jokingly (in a way so that he could save face if I turned him down) asks if I would marry him. No ring, just a pseudo proposal. I jokingly replied that he'd have to ask properly. A year later, he suddenly broke it off with me 2 DAYS after offering to take my DC and I on a long-haul trip as my Christmas present. 10 weeks later: He was engaged to someone else.

Incredibly, ridiculously, over the top, stereotypically posh accent when he was middle class and lived in a normal three bed semidetached house. No idea why he spoke like he owned a country estate. Just really confusing and weird.

We skived off work on date 3 to go on a day trip to a city a couple of hrs away. We were to look in on a friend of his. He phoned ahead:

"Hi, Bob - just got on the motorway, I'll be there in about an hour and half. Oh and I'm bringing a Young Lady with me. (Smirks)"
Pause while Bob says something.
(Turns... Looks me up and down...)
"About a 6"

I should have got out at the nearest service station

He took me to a vegetarian indian restaurant and drank Lassi whilst I drank beer.

Ha ha! A case of "this won't take long, did it?"

Worked for his racist father's company, admitted to wanking under his desk and having a 'stain' under his desk area, proudly admitted that it absolutely stank.
I was 18, he was 28, he tried to force me to move to England from Wales to live with him because he was 'getting on a bit' and wanted to settle down, get married, have kids.
Obsessed with women who can 'squirt' during/after sex, had ALOT of porn relating to it.
I dumped him over MSN.

Boyfriend #2: Thought he was Steven Spielberg and made his own 'movies', he was the only actor and played each character, inc footage of him being Batman and jumping off a building (throwing himself onto a trampoline in his 12ft back garden).
Same bloke turned up on first date wearing elasticated waist cotton lounge pants, American football shirt and pvc knee high boots with platforms ... I wish I was joking.

After dtd in the total darkness of his bedroom, and think broad glos accent..."pfwah!no-one's never sat on im before"

I think mine look positively 'normal' after reading some of yours.
