Light-hearted - What's the most trivial reason you've broken up with someone/declined a date?

Inspired by a different, more serious, thread but thought there must be some great, light-hearted stories about ridiculous, trivial or unreasonable things that have given you the 'ick'.

Gotta pass the time while we're all stuck inside.

I dated a woman for a while who was completely flat chested. In the end i couldn't get past it. I like boobs, they don't have to be big, they just have to exist.

icantbeliveitsnotnutter that is really wierd. And slightly scary.

Sorry my message was really aimed at dzundra

I went out (one date) with a consultant psychiatrist, he was not only vile about his ex wife he was sarcastic about her mental health problems (I suspect that at least in part they were caused by him)

On the other hand I once went out with a guy who said 'likkle' and 'bokkle' (little and bottle for those not born hereabouts).

At the time I had very low self esteem and really thought I 'wasn't good enough'. He was a company director and very confident and it really helped me realise that some of the things I thought were important really weren't. It had a very positive long term effect.

CandyLeBonBon · 25/03/2020 21:47

He did the helicopter willy thing

PeachesPlumsPears · 25/03/2020 22:49

Took me home to meet his parents who he lived with before we went to dinner. He was 36 and it was our first date. They must have approved because he asked me out again. Nope - no second date.

PeachesPlumsPears · 25/03/2020 23:02

Friend of a friend. He was so tight, he kept asking everyone passing by to buy us a drink. Spent most of the time talking about his million dollar house. When paying for dinner he tried to negotiate a discount with the waitress. I was so embarrassed I said I'll pay for both of us. Definite no to second date.

YourVagesty · 25/03/2020 23:23

I once dated somebody who did this weird rigid, lock-jawed kissing. And he'd sort of tense his tongue up so it was hard and stabby. Couldn't get past that. Also he bought me underwear once but it wasn't sexy. They were like the knickers your mum buys you when you are nine. Was very confused. And I don't even mean frilly and pink, just slightly baggy, boring white cotton things with thick pink elasticated bands. Weird.

AnneJeanne · 25/03/2020 23:27

He told me to wear something pretty for our date.

livefornaps · 25/03/2020 23:32

livefornaps · 25/03/2020 23:33

Thepigeonsarecoming · 25/03/2020 23:48

Mine is too long a story to post, but it ended up in a 30 minute awkward phone conversation with a sister of ex who tracked me down via the electoral roll

Mookie81 · 26/03/2020 00:22

The centaur and Dorian Gray stories are the funniest things I've ever read in my time in MN Grin.
Although I'm trying to be quiet so I don't wake my husband, so I'm laughing like Mutley.

CatAndHisKit · 26/03/2020 00:25

small hands, tapering thin fingers - always a no for me.

barkingfly · 26/03/2020 06:01

Not me but a friend-did not marry the Armenian guy because she was afraid her kids would be too hairy!

aussieaussieaussieoioioi · 26/03/2020 10:34

Oh my lord, the bib, the centaurs 😂😂😂

I didn't see a guy again because his penis was too big. Saw it once, knew it would never work for me.

aussieaussieaussieoioioi · 26/03/2020 10:39

Another one. He wrote 'touchay' in a text.

Also there was a guy who would kiss me and then go 'mmmmmmm'.

CandyLeBonBon · 26/03/2020 10:56

Also a other one wore a red satin thong

Fromablokespoint · 26/03/2020 12:43

"nylon underpants with a dogs face on and 'Rover, the great pussy hunter' on them"

Where did he get them? Asking for a friend Smile

Apoligised for being married (happily apparently). I apoligised for having different morals. She then proceeded to uncomfortably stalk me for a few months.

crispysausagerolls · 26/03/2020 16:03

@aussieaussieaussieoioioi

“Touchay” 😂😂😂😂😂

Bart3j · 26/03/2020 22:13

So after only 3 weeks, he told me he loved me! Then said I had issues around love. Enough said, so obs that relationship ended sharpish...

Pammie70 · 27/03/2020 15:16

Being rude to the waitress, never resulted in a second date.
Also the one I had been out with a few times but dinner or drinks, he suggested we went out for the day to Warwick Castle. Made my teeth clench when he walked, really flat footed and sort of flapped his feet down.

Babynumber2dueNov · 27/03/2020 19:36

Nice guy, offered to take me on a date, seemed ok... until he said he wanted to take me bowling. Never spoke to him again 😂

Ole99 · 27/03/2020 20:16

He supported the “wrong” football team.
Enough said Grin
