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.

The "man-horse" thing is brilliant, but HOW DID HE KNOW?!

DeathByMascara Totally justified. Either a moron or an incredibly messy kink.

Wore trousers covered in dog hair on our first date.

Second date, I was 22 he was posh and in his thirties. He bought me a pair of crystal silver etched whisky tumblers in a posh box set. I didn’t have a clue how to respond since my drink of choice at that time was half a lager

Years ago (early 90s) I briefly dated a tube driver. He constantly talked of the tube every time we travelled on it, e.g. what rolling stock it was, what year the line opened etc. I'm boring myself just writing that.

I did think he was a bit ott when on date 3 he started giving me proclamations of love (not returned by me. )

Anyway one summer Sunday we were on a bus from Camden town to Hampstead heath. The bus was quite busy. There was a wasp and as soon as he saw it he jumped up, waving his arms and screaming at it. I was mortified and asked him to stop. He asked if id ever been stung, and when I said no, he said if I had I'd react like him. I suggested that actually the reason I'd never been stung was because I didn't jump up and down, waving my arms and screaming every time I saw one.

I ditched him after that.

Nice guy, good night. Next morning I said I'd cook breakfast, he volunteered to go to paper shop. I said " get the Guardian". He came back and said "they had sold out of the Guardian, so I got you the Telegraph".

Never saw him again

I don't get what 'pull you up on my waste' means!? The only thing I can think of is it's something to do with anal sex?

1 inch shorter than me.

Wrote ‘could of’

Thought ‘alot’ was a word

Arrived to our first date wearing a sweater vest

All different men by the way

@Spidey66 i bet he meant waist

Let's hope so!

@CalleighDoodle I still don't get it!

He had a coin purse. Those horseshoe shaped abominations. It was our first AND ONLY date, hot day, at the beach, super busy. We went for an ice cream and out came the fucking purse with much shaking and counting and fucking about with 5ps and 2ps. I was mortified and just gave the staff member a fiver and walked off. A huge queue of hot annoyed people tutting at him while he dropped small change and scrabbled around like a lunatic on the floor.

I immediately asked him to take me home.

I used to be friends with his sister back at school and every time I went to kiss him I just seen her face and I just couldn’t do it!

@vonhurrburton

Ew I don’t blame you one bit, huge turn off.
Mean with money is such a huge turn off

He ate his corn on the cob with a fork and knife...

@Russellbrandshair isn't it? Massive turn off. Tightness and bad manners.

I didn’t go on a second date with a guy who brought his own Riedel wine glasses with him to the restaurant. I think I was supposed to see it as evidence of sophistication, but I happened to catch the waiter’s eye and had to go to the loo to laugh.

I had just started eating my dinner & he called me. I didn’t want my food to go cold so I said this wasn’t working for me & broke up with him. We got back together a few weeks later. I really like my food.

When he smiled he looked like the snake in the Jungle Book. When I realised, I just couldn't unsee it.

I saw his y fronts hanging on the airer in his mum's kitchen.

It looked like it was going to rain.

Too short, bad breath, surname fort which I kept pronouncing as fart😂

A coffee date with a Tinder match. His chosen attire was tracksuit bottoms, socks and sandals. He told me I must have excess testosterone because my hands are bigger than you would expect for a woman my size. And he drove a canary yellow Smart car. Enough said.

First date, late afternoon for drinks at All Bae One. On the way there I text saying ‘see you there, I’m wearing a a lacy top’ he replied ‘oh no, I look like I’ve been doing DIY’. Sure enough he did 🤨, manly T-shirt, boring jeans. Not only that he was wearing really naff yellow trainers. I could not wait to finish my drink!!

Another guy took me for a drive in his really posh open top sports car. On the way home a bird shat on his shoulder and he didn’t notice. He was such a massive knob I couldn’t bring myself to tell him. I didn’t take him up on a further date, and thanked the bird in question for such a skilfully aimed deposit.

*manky not manly !
