Small things that have given you the ick when online dating

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?!

This is probably ridiculous but we all have our own taste.

Started messaging someone today and got onto subject of perfect holiday. I told him mine is probably a Greek island without an airport where I can completely unwind. He replied his favourite places on earth are Benidorm and Vegas - at that point I’m out

I'd been talking to guy for a while and we'd been on a date which was good. During the chats it turned flirtatious/sexy and he kept referring to the area around the nipples, the areola. I know that's what's it's called but it was just so unsexy! When in a flirty/sexy chat I doubt many would use the official words such as penis, vulva, vagina etc, it's normally cock (or the many slags) and pussy etc and everyone most would just say nipples in the sexual sense 😁

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 😕

These can’t be real!

I had one who had the contents of his bathroom cupboard laid out like surgical instruments about to be used in an operation.

And another who suddenly announced he wanted to wear a cock cage and be cuckolded.

And one who felt it was too much commitment to be expected to wish me a happy birthday.

One who bought me a sandwich and made a point of saying, "The next one's on you." He also had disturbingly long fingernails on one hand.

One who had no job and declared he wanted me to give him "a cuggle".

And one who told me repeatedly that he was going to fuck my brains out, while my brains remained very much in situ.

Etc., etc.

I went on an OLD years ago with a man that I think was murderous or very mentally unwell. I just got a diatribe. He was very wealthy, a property developer but he went to the Jobcentre alot, but he was also a computer programmer, his girlfriend who worked at the job centre disappeared and he couldn't find her, he moved countries but another girlfriend disappeared, he was also a professional musician but couldn't tell me what instrument he played or who he played with. He was a Renaissance man. He wanted to buy a thatched cottage and he and his dad drove the same cars, mercs.

He talked loudly to the room, never made eye contact and laughed about nothing. He lied about his height as well.

After he declared that he was one eighth irish so he understood the "troubles" I said my first full sentence for about an hour. That he wasn't Irish. He then just walked out. I think his dad picked him up as he texted me from the car. I also think he still lived at home. It really shook me up how manic he was.

They walk amongst us.
