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.

vonhurrbutton the furry gorilla added a poignant note 😂

One guys trousers were too short (I was a teenager at the time). Was stunningly gorgeous, but didn’t seem to know it. All the girls liked him. The one night, he turned up at the pub with trousers way too short. We all instantly went off him. Poor guy.

Another one turned asked me what chance he had of getting my name and taking me out for dinner. Told him my name and said I wasn’t hungry. Felt really bad and guilt so agreed to go out on a date. He turned up wearing cowboy boots. We were in the US so I cut him some slack but he was just tooo keen and over the top trying to be a gentleman, I couldn’t do a second date.

Last one. Another gorgeous guy, was a fireman, looked like Tom Cruise, was funny, not arrogant. Couldn’t clap in time to the music 😳

I'm on page 3 and so far there are 2 things that people have dumped dates for that I do

PikiKitKat Yep, same here! You are not alone!

"For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbours and laugh at them in our turn?"

He wore red shoes.
DH had some cowboy boots monstrosities, but I threw them out and we lived happily ever after.

I suggested meeting up and he said "I can't this week as I am having a fatty lump removed from my head, it's become uncomfortable wearing hats and such so it's got to go!".

Bleurgh!

I found out half way through a pretty promising first date that my date didn't like cheese.

I LOVE cheese and for some reason I just couldn't quite believe he was normal or trustworthy after this. I cancelled our second date.

One texted me “Sweat dreams”.

Another told me in detail how, when he had the cast taken off his broken arm, the skin was like sausage roll pastry, flaking everywhere. No second date 🤢

Third was a lovely man but when he kissed me, it was like he was trying to stab me with his tongue. Bizarre!

soupforbrains I think your instinct was right. I married a man once who hated cheese and he turned out to be a bit of a dick.

Some of these are funny but was is wrong with red shoes????

He wore winklepickers.

@soupforbrains noooo!

One guy told me 'I dinnae really eat meat' shortly followed by 'I dinnae really eat vegetables'. This was during a meal where he'd ordered rib eye steak with vegetables I had to sit there for an hour watching him push the food around his plate, wincing when he took tiny mouthfuls.

I asked him what he did eat. Cold Heinz ravioli apparently, straight out of the tin

His bottom was too big

He was late to the two dates we had

He had red hair. I have red hair. I was concerned people people might think he was my brother (I was young!)

@Lordfrontpaw my brother and I have red hair and people think we’re a couple all the time

My brother has black hair everyone thinks one of us was adopted (him).

He wore an anorak and when it started raining he put the hood up, and the hood had some kind of little peak attached to it. He looked like a complete prat. Dumped.

I once had such terrible sex I broke up with the guy immediately afterwards.

He bought me a plastic rose complete with plastic dew drops.

One man told me he was going to marry me as soon as he saw me.

Another told me he was going to kill his ex girlfriends cat..that date lasted 10 minutes.

The gorgeous Greek polo player who talked for 2 hours about himself.

One who bit his nails.

A gorgeous man who was so camp and he gesticulated with his hands all the time.

A huge blackhead in his ear.

A couple of good dates, good-looking bloke, funny, bright, chemistry, all the right stuff.
Invited him round to mine, he took his shoes off and my God! the stench.
Had to invent a sudden on-set migraine and get rid.

Lol!

He called me ‘Hun’

It just wasnt working out so we parted ways
