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?!

Deck shoes. He turned up wearing deck shoes. They were hideous.
Lateness. I have dumped a few men over time keeping. It's a pet hate of mine. If there's a genuine reason, heavy traffic etc... I can understand. But when it's habitual, it's a no from me.

Those crocodile leather loafers type shoes with a metal bar on the top.. men who don't ask any questions just bore on about themselves.

You win! That's hilarious 😂

In no particular order (and not all the same guy)…

• Didn’t know how to operate a corkscrew.
• Drank from the bowl of water meant for washing your hands in when shelling prawns.
• Took me back to his after the 3rd or 4th date, and not only did his bed not have any sheets on it, it was a single camp bed.
• Pulled out a big wad of notes held together by a metal clip (this was equally as icky as the other guy who kept his money in a little plastic bank bag).
• Asked the cashier in Nando’s if 2 people could share one bottomless drink.
• Knocked his bottle of beer off the table and into a woman’s handbag.
• Had a hideous metal beer cup that he kept behind the bar in his local and drank his pint from.

I must admit,soft, pudgy hands are a complete turn off.

Muscular, strong hands are lovely.

I have a few-

• First (and only) date. The guy was actually really good looking and seemed sweet so it seemed to get off to a good start. Then for some reason he decided to tell me a story about how one night he went out drinking with friends and woke up covered in his own vomit and that it was all over his pillow and some had even dried and crusted on his face and ears. I made excuses to leave after that. No way could I get that image out my head.

• Another guy I'd met online, we went for a daytime date to the cinema. Went okay but I knew pretty quickly that I wasn't feeling it, however he had driven me to the cinema and so was driving me home (I was young and stupid, wouldn't have a guy from online dating drive me anywhere on a first date now). He kept asking me if I wanted to go back to his house to see his snake. I thought it was a creepy euphemism so said no but he continued to ask. Then he drove to his house anyway saying he needed to feed his dog before dropping me off. Turned out he actually did have a snake, a massive python just slithering about his house! If I hadn't already not been interested, that would have done it for me.

• Another date seemed to go well until as we were walking between bars the guy pulled out a toothpick on his pocket which he then proceeded to chew on and turn over in his mouth with his tongue for the rest of the date. At one point it snapped and he pulled out another one. Seemed to think we were in an old cowboy western.

@TwistedWonder YES! Do share!
A screenshot at least- with his face edited out!

🕺 🕺 🕺 🪩

All different men.

Revealed he was training as a vicar.

Said "Winner winner chicken dinner" after kissing me.

Had nipple piercings and posters of sexy goth women drawings on his walls. Was in his 40s.

Had long, jagged nails.

A date once told me he had agreed to care for his neighbours’ cats, but he had forgotten about them. So when he remembered about his promise, he entered the property to find that said cats had shat everywhere and he was livid about cleaning up their mess.

he was an instant next. Knob.

About 10 years ago I had a guy pull out notes still in his little brown wage packet (the kind the employer used to pay you and write the amount/deductions etc on). In front of my sister and bil too. It was so embarrassing!

Maggot man

That's so funny 😹

Mine said he’d cover the coffees and then pulled out a little leather change purse and counted it all out to the penny…

@LordBummenbachsMagnificentBalls Maggot man! I laughed so hard imagining it I woke the dog!

I know JUST the kind of coat you mean.

🐛 😆

Just their height?

I LOVE these kind of threads!
so glad at age 57, I’m resolutely single.

A lovely bloke came to mine for dinner after a few dates. Asked if I had any sliced bread to go with our meal and proceeded to make sandwiches - piling the food into the bread folded in half. I ignored it first time but when it became apparent he did it with every meal, he was out

I thankfully don't date men any more, but when I did, one man I met for a coffee began to wank under the table. I think he thought it was sexy. I left. Later, he texted me saying that I was rude for leaving before he'd finished!
Another man and I met for a pub meal and he spat tobacco on his plate. Foul.
Not my date but a friend had a (brief) date with a guy who had a builder's bum when he bent over, which was bad enough, but he also had dingleberries in the crack. 🤢
Poor grammar both written and spoken is a major turn off for me- anyone who doesn't understand the difference between 'you're' and 'your' wouldn't get a date, nor would anyone who says 'I seen' and 'I done'.

That is just ...hideous.

What a horribly creepy thing to do to in your house.

I'd have had to have got a new loo seat after that.

It's so creepy to leave it there for you to find and clear up.

Very aggressive.

Not me but a friend - first date in a coffee shop and upon seeing her, he stood up and said “good morrow, my fine lady”. She didn’t stay.

For fucks sake! 😂

@TwistedWonder So true 🤣

Winner winner chicken dinner!!! I just can't. Oh my lord.

Sandwich man, too?

I feel so much better now, thank you everyone

I don't need to even click on this video...''I'm a dickhead!!'''....I remember the lyrics!

''London fields'' {I lived In one of the Georgian houses on Lansdowne Drive, London Fields before they were trendy!}

The link doesn't work...I think it's this one..

Or there's this kind of bloke

Not my type of bloke, but it made me laugh when someone showed me it.
