I'm back on the dating market and I'm curious to know what are some of the worst offenses that someone has committed when you've gone on a first date with a person or in the early stages of dating someone?

    Going on ONE lunch date with someone and afterward he assumed we were in a committed relationship. Whooaaaaa slow down there, bub. Then he got all friggin' weird when I told him my daughter's father is involved in her life. Why would that offend anyone? Wouldn't you want her dad to be involved? Weird.

    Talking about previous (or current...gasp!) relationships. Also, getting drunk - totally unappealing.

    dangled bacon in my face all like "mmmm delicious murder"

    nope nope nope nope nope

    obsessively calling or txting

    telling me I can't date other people at the same time...if we are not in a committed relationship or we have not had a talk about it I will do whatever I want with whoever I want in that sense

    sexualizing my bisexuality ...nope bye

    I had a date on Friday who did this...and I'm not okay with that. It was a first date. I would rather not hear about your ex-girlfriend(s).

    Talking/whining/complaining about ex's! Talking about how you like the chest of the lady you work with.

    A common thing to happen on first dates.

    Putting up with anything you wouldn't tolerate long term, projecting a false impression of yourself in order to impress your date. Be yourself and they can take it or leave it!

    Worst for me was while watching a movie with a guy, a sex scene comes on, and he then starts telling me about his porn collection. Gross!

    Don't consume the conversation just talking about yourself. Ask lots of questions about the person you're with to show interest. I went on a date once and was so nervous I just went on and on about myself and then afterwards I thought, "oh, no. I don't think I asked him one single question about himself because I was so busy trying to impress him." ha. Oh well. Eventually I figured it out and married a fantastic man.

    I have given up on dating. Always seems to be the extremes! "marry me" or "hey baby, lets mix our genes" (or worse: "I love my wife, but she isnt' into sex. She knows I get it elsewhere. Join me and some friends for a party?")

    gak. Stick a fork in me, I'm just so done.

    For me it is when girls are obsessed with their phone and constantly checking/texting.

    I was a little turned off when the guy suggested marriage on the first date.

    Ewww, that's gross! :tongue:

    If he wants to show you how he feels about you, tells you to trust him and proceeds to take your hand, don't let him put it on his wiener.

    My top 3 worst first day encounters...

    Guy that expected me to pay for both of us because I suggested that we meet up ... didn't even suggest going "Dutch". That just screams ignorant and self-absorbed to me when it's coming from a guy.

    The several guys that have proclaimed they were falling in love with me after spending a couple hours together. Desperation is disgusting, huge turnoff.

    And last but not least, the guy that invited me to a rave to roll with him after getting a coffee... yeah, no.

    Being attached to their phone. Put it down, pay attention to me.
    Talking too much about life problems. I don't need a daily update that you still haven't sold the house you bought with your ex.
    Not being able to tell if you're not on the same page as the other person. You both like each other and like long good-byes? Cute. You're still trying to figure out where it's going and they kiss you from the front door to your car? Smother me some more why don't you!
