My date ate his food like a snake

Ok I recently signed up to bumble last week and got chatting to a guy on there.. fast forward to yesterday and we meet at a local restaurant/pub..

He was shorter than the "5'11" he mentioned in his bio..

His face looked 10 years older and be wore baggy jeans

When we ordered food he ate like a snake .. he clicked his jaw and opened his mouth really wide to take a bite .

I feel really terrible I'm looking for an excuse to block him and move on

Eww I kissed a guy with a forked tounge. However I didn’t decide to leave him on account of this. I did when he took me shopping for a sofa for his new flat and I thought, I’m outta here!

The lack of height, the older face and the baggy jeans would have been more than enough for me to say there would be no further datessssssssssssss.

Snake eating sounds revolting. Did he chew with his mouth open too?

Eats like a snake, this has entertained me on my tedious journey home from work. Hilarious.

No he ate normally when the food was in his mouth..

He just opened it extraordinary wide to put the fork in..

Rule One of dating

You do not need any excuse to stop dating anyone. Finding out whether you are compatible is one of the important reasons to date some.

If you don't want to continue, don't arrange any other dates. You don't owe any excuse or explanation.

If they ask you again, say thanks, but no thanks and then block. Simples

10 minutes later he has found me on Facebook and added me as a friend.

His profile photo is of an old ford Mondeo estate.. presumably his

One woman's snake is another woman's snookie-wookie - have mercy on him and set him free so that he can find that woman.

You just didn't click ... well, his jaw did but that's not enough.

Hahaha!!!

Crikey did he swallow a small animal whole? 🤣🪱

Not sure if his snake antics have disturbed me more or him adding you on Facebook after you'd blocked him 😳

Now that is definitely creepy.

I had a date that kissed like a snake . His tongue kept flicking in and out his mouth. 🤢

Funnily enough I didn't go on a second date.

Show quote history

You adder me then for a moment.

Joolianne · 21/10/2022 04:05

Where on earth do u all find such creepy men. I would run a mile just reading his profile. Yuck.!

lisaJN1986 · 21/10/2022 05:12

Block him on FB but be aware he may have a hissy fit 🐍

DisforDarkChocolate · 21/10/2022 05:31

Why the heck do you need an excuse. You don't like him, end of dilemma.

My husband does this too and it only gets more annoying.

dreammattemousse · 21/10/2022 06:36

Slightly old thread but has given me a proper laugh

AlwaysLatte · 21/10/2022 06:45

You could send him a tub of live locusts as a parting gift?

AlwaysLatte · 21/10/2022 06:47

Maybe the baggy trousers were him in the process of shedding his skin?

TomPinch · 21/10/2022 06:57

If he'd done that in the restaurant it would have been on a different scale.

batshitballs · 21/10/2022 07:00

Imo this is the law of online dating

Their profile height minus 1-2 inches is their actual height so if they say 5ft8 they're definitely tiny

Their photos are always 5-10 years old

You have to use your mental e-fit to imagine hoe they really look
