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

[WokeOnTheWater]

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.

He was wearing those ridiculous red Kicker boots. Yup, I was that shallow!

Chatting on line before we had actually met. Said he didn't like cats or Christmas, I thought that was never going to work then! Declined his date offer.

He got a hair cut that made him look like a monk

He had a grainy tongue

Used the word “literally” in the wrong context.

He had blonde arm hair. Policeman, handsome, nice car, took me out for a lovely meal. But that arm hair.....

I briefly chatted with a guy online.

But what I couldn’t get past....was his complete inability......to punctuate a sentence or paragraph..other than (badly) using ellipses....despite being otherwise reasonably interesting and intelligent.........

Aaargh!

As a teenager - I didn't like his penchant for large,novelty belt buckles.
Early 20s, an Australian guy I met travelling was coming to the UK to travel, we had kept in touch via Facebook, i had been imagining a wild summer romance....he got off the plane wearing, I shit you not, skintight jeans, skintight tshirt with offensive message printed on, giant sunglasses, mock crocodile skin cowboy boots and a BERET. I know I sound so shallow but he genuinely thought he was a rock star and had a stinking attitude and i felt so embarrassed. In fairness I had been really,really drunk every time we'd met in Australia.

He had an Irish accent, except he didn't. His housemates were Irish and he copied it.

The only vegetables he ate were frozen peas and carrots. Never made it to the second date. Fussy bugger.

He had an Irish accent, except he didn't. His housemates were Irish and he copied it.

More information, please, @SocksForceFive. Where was he actually from? Do you mean he pretended to be Irish, and you rumbled him, or he had somehow unconsciously mirrored his housemates' accents?

Weird.

I was thinking of going on a date with this guy on OLD, but changed my mind because he used "lol" as punctuation in all his messages. It wasn't even when he'd said something that might possibly have been amusing, it was more like "So where do you want to go lol, I'm free on Friday night lol". It made him sound both annoying and thick.

This thread is throwing up some dark stuff! Who are these people??? What did he think it stood for? Did he think it was a form of punctuation???

@SocksForceFive

This reminds me of a bloke my friend dated when we were about 19. The night she met him in a local nightclub, he had a strong Scottish accent, on the way to get chips o6m the way home he proudly told us he was in the Scottish army (?) and was singing Oh Flower of Scotland at the top of his voice enjoying telling anyone within earshot he was a soldier. I asked how long he had been living down here and whether he got home much.....turmed out he was born and bred in south London and had only been posted in Scotland for about 3 months. Knob.

Went out to Pizza Express. He got a pizza and proceeded to neatly cut round the whole circumference to remove the 'crust'. He then happily ate the middle part, leaving a ring of crust. It was like he was nine years old.

Terrible terrible snakeskin / crocodile skin type shoes - yuck!!

Pinched a chip without asking. No second date for YOU.

There is a high proportion of men on this thread with crocodile skin shoes.

@Sameold2020 did his name begin with J?

No! There must be a few!!

LittleChoCho m afraid his name did not begin with 'F' which means there are at least two of them!

This thread is cheering me up no end.

Queenofallsee I'm sorry to tell you I think you have dumped a wizard who was merely trying to banish a boggart for you.

Told me his favourite programme was 'Im a Celebrity get me out of here" I immediately lost all respect for him. He was an intelligent, high up civil servant at least 20 years older than me.

He was just leaning in to kiss me and the sudden realisation hit me like a tonne of bricks...
He looked exactly like my dad.

I turned my head away so fast I damn near got whiplash.

I’d been chatting to a guy on OLD, talking about getting together until he told me he ‘might ask Santa for a new poncho’.

I thought of another one. First date: all was going well until we got into his car, where he had a few ironed shirts hanging up. The air reeked of burnt BO mixed with Lynx; so strong my nostrils were scorched for days afterwards.
