Just something that told you there was nooooo future?

I was seeing a chap quite some years ago, pre DH. We had been dating about a year, and were getting into bed at his place when I mentioned that I had my period, just in a casual 'so no rumpy-pumpy tonight' kind of way. The issue had never come up before.

He went all pale with disgust, said 'I wish you hadn't told me that', and proceeded to sleep on the floor.

Utter, utter twunt, I never returned his calls after that. Lucky escape.

This reminds me of the time that FIL came to help DH dismantle our bed so we could install our new one. He came walking down the garden path with our mattress balanced on his head that had a (forgotten about) large blood stain from whan I had an unexpected bled in late pg.
I still blush at the thought that he noticed and was being polite at not mentioning it.

getmeouttahere · 11/03/2008 22:50

that should be 'bleed'

i was with someone for a long time who always say down to wee. I just think thats really odd for a bloke. It kind of made me think he was a bit too girly....

dixichik · 11/03/2008 22:56

that should have been SAT down to wee...

Dude tucked his jammies under his pillow at night, listened to Gloria Estefan, took jazz dancing classes and sang in an a capella group. Don't ask how long I hung around to find this all out.

I hitched up briefly with a MUCh older man when I was 16, and he kept insisting that i 'mustn't fall in love'

I kept telling him I was only in it for the nightclubs, but he was having none of it. I think he preferred to believe it was only his self control keeping us apart, rather than my distinct lack of interest

New boyfriend who surprised me in the bedroom - he was naked apart from a red satin posing pouch and matching bow tie

SheikYerbouti · 12/03/2008 16:00

In the cra on the way to Portsmouth from Bath with a really nhunky submariner

I was about 21

He was really into me - he drove all the way up from Plymouth to Bath to pick me up to take me to Portsmouth for the day as he wanted to take me sailing

Anyway, he puts a tape on in the car

IT WAS FECKING ENYA

I almost opened the door and jumped out, had we not have been on the M27 at the time

I quite like the sound of yours

Except for the jamas of course

SheikYerbouti · 12/03/2008 16:11

I also went out with a bloke called Andy who used to say "oh yeah baby" while we did the deed, like he was Austin Powers or something

I also shagged this American guy who used to call condoms "spacesuits" and who had a v shady past. I was put off himw when he started to sleep in my front garden. (of my house, not my personal front garden)

AlistairSim · 12/03/2008 16:27

Where oh where to start?

The chap who liked to chase me around the bedroom trying to bite me.

The chap who shaved, exfoliated and moisturised his entire body everyday.

The chap who turned out to be a chappess.

Just heard a funny one from a friend today - she dumped one of her first boyfriends when in the space of two hours, she learned that he had another girlfriend, a wife, a son and after going round to confront him - discovered that he was actually running a brothel!!!!

getmeouttahere · 12/03/2008 17:00

God, I'm loving this thread!!

I seem to have had fairly normal men in comparison. Although there was one... first walk home (lived close by), licked my face as a goodnight. Second walk home, told me he ws divorced ecause he used to beat his wife. And would I like to go out for a meal.. in McDonalds?

SheikYerbouti · 12/03/2008 18:29

lol at McDonalds

My god, there are some freaky men in this owrld

DP once shagged this ghirl who had loads of teddies on her bed. He said it was most offputting to see little beady eyes looking bacjk at him whilke he was doing it. She was in her mid 20s, which was alarming
