Small things that have given you the ick when online dating

[idontknkowwhyibother]

Does anyone else fancy a laugh about the traumas of online dating (lighthearted) and that feeling of getting the ick mid-date?

I had a really silly one recently where I went on a third date with someone. I was already in the minds about him.

Anyway, we'd done an activity then went to get food afterwards and it was ordered on screens. The previous date I had paid and so it was already agreed that he was buying me lunch.

All good.

So, we got to the bit where the screens to order food were. I'm used to doing this in McDonald's for my kids 🤣 and always usher them to go ahead and put their food order in. So I suppose unconsciously I was expecting him to let me go first?

What he actually did was RUSH to the machine ahead, of me JAB in his order so hard he nearly broke the machine and just kind of....stood there. I sort of waited for him to offer me the screen and he didn't say anything. So I silently put my order in.

It seems such a small thing, and it is a small thing. But it took me back to being a child ans having a sibling who will rush to get on the swings before you 🤣

Thankfully I never slept with him but I can imagine how it would have gone.

Has anyone else got the ick from something as petty or is it just me?!

Omg @Bittenonce .
I read your user name as Bitter Nonce, not Bitten Once!

It does put a different angle on any comments 😂

Me too 🤣

No you derailed it completely by taking offence at that.

I’m a biracial woman. It offends me very much. Every time a black person makes racist comments that generalises white people it is an offence to my mother, who by the way experienced a LOT of racism from my father’s family in the early days. Racism to black people offends me because half my family are black, I am both, I can see both sides and it all disgusts me. White people self flagellating over past white peoples crimes doesn’t impress me any more than black people promoting an eternal victimhood of black people from the “white oppresser”, none of this gives black people the right to stereotype and malign the entire white race, it’s the very definition of racism. End of. To the person who commented that I must have a very diverse friendship group, I was laughing because of your assumptions, I am biracial, and have a hugely diverse friendship group, and many of my biracial and black friends think exactly the same as I do!

OP report the thread to MNHQ and ask them to remove the detailing posts so we can get back to some lighthearted fun

You don’t want the biracial woman’s voice to be heard in the face of racist comments about white people on this thread. Hmmmm I thought you guys stood for self flagellation and not oppression and censorship. You might have to rethink your position after this. I was all for the fun of this thread until the racist came along

A girl turned up for our date with a fleece, wrangler jeans, and Adidas Samba on...

And I thought you said that you weren't going to say anymore about this. And yet here we are....

Well let’s just put it in the past, and talk about bad dates. Some things needed clarifying as there were responses to my post

Thanks both! 🤣 made me laugh though

My worst one ever.....been chatting to this guy for a couple of weeks. Arranged to meet for a meal at a carvery restaurant. I hardly ate all day knowing there was a good dinner coming. We get there, i order the medium roast.....he ordered a bloody salad!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Guts here still had my roast dinner 🤣🤣🤣 got to the end of the night and he asked for a goodnight kiss..... I said my bus is due and legged it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

You dodged a bullet, salad boy would be really boring at Christmas

@thequeen he would probably bring his own salad box 🤣🤣

Oh thank god 😂 back on topic...

And look at you disapprovingly while you munch on your turkey

Omg!

@TheQueeen definitely 🤣🤣

Matched with a man today and first message from him ‘Really love the dress you’re wearing in your photo’
Me ‘thank you. That’s on holiday in Crete last month’
Him ‘Yeah you look well hot and horny’

Doesn’t take long does it 🙄

I was lost for words to be honest. I think he meant it, his sense of humour wasn't that dark. Even if (and it's a big if) it did look like an abortion, why would you say that? Just leave me in ignorance and let me eat my chicken.

I stopped OLD as something nearly always felt 'off' with these men.

Ick threads are comedy gold. I'm often crying with laughter at some of the stuff we've encountered. However, you get the ick for a reason. We all know that slurping a pot noodle shouldn't crush a budding relationship but somehow it can.

If your feelings can shift that quickly and dramatically over a noodle, this bloke's not the one for you. Something inside is saying, 'chuck him back, start a Mumsnet ick thread and chalk it up to experience'.

Nope it doesn’t take long. I connected with a guy on a night out a few months back, I haven’t dated in a very long time, but we were chatting all evening, we just randomly met that evening. We swapped numbers, we’d had enough chats for him to know I don’t do casual sex etc. I got messages from him as soon as I got indoors saying if only I’d invited him over I’d be sitting on his face right now, and how horny he is thinking about me. Very sexy to hear from someone you are getting feelings for, gross from someone you met a few hours ago when you don’t think that way. I text him the next day saying we probably are too different for it to go anywhere 🤣

I had to Google cock cage.

They'd make cracking mixer taps in the bathroom.😁

I was on a first date with a guy I met OLD at a restaurant. My teenage daughter called and while I was speaking to her this guy took about 3 photos of me talking to her on the phone without my permission. When I asked him about it he said ‘oh yeah’ and when I asked him to delete them he was mystified as to why. Very strange behaviour I thought.

@PumaKinPie Haha, I don't blame you for avoiding OLD permanently. I literally did it briefly about 27 yrs ago. One date used his dad's photo, and was about 16. The other was a banker who I think tried to roofie me?!
I hope you have recovered from all that shite. You're not wrong this thread is absolutely classic. 🤣🤣🤣

Although it's not strictly online dating, over the years a few guys from high school have asked me out via various social media sites.

If you think it's only strangers that you don't know, hang on to your hat. Someone you think you know will most definitely have some surprises too.

*A few months in with one of these blokes, he called me to the bedroom. When I went in he was naked and in the 'cervical smear' position. He held out a spray bottle and asked me to spray his piles and push them back in. In what world...

*Another ejaculated 'al fresco' (i.e. not inside) and proceeded to eat it like a ravenous dog with a bowl of hot chips. We were on a 'romantic' mini break in the Lakes between Christmas and New Year. Somehow that made it even worse. I'd imagined walks on crisp frosty mornings, a pub lunch in front of an open fire, hot chocolate with marshmallows and fine dining in the evenings.

What I actually got was unexpectedly spunked on and witnessed the most stomach churning sight that still makes me gag today. I couldn't post this one yesterday as I nearly threw up and had to leave it. Grim 😕

I’m not often lost for words but this is just…🤢
