    says he loves you on the first date and starts talking about children true story

    I went to a theme park once with a friend. Or so I thought. Throughout the day as we'd wander through gift shops I'd comment on various things that caught my eye.

    The next day, after waking up from a nap in my apartment, I open the front door to find a pile of gifts - all the items I'd commented on at the park. Along with this pile was a strange note where he divided up his expression of affection into passive and aggressive comments.

    I really thought we were just friends. So guys- don't do that.

    Just friends? No such thing.

    playing on phone constantly

    Lying, this one guy lied about everything. Said he was some big manager somewhere. Umm there are 3 employees in the entire company. Who was he managing. Said he owned multiple retail shops. Selling t shirts out of the boot of your car isn't multiple retail stores.

    My last ever date (I am scarred for life) was when my date whom I didn't know all that well, tried to kiss me on the lips on meeting, then spent the next few hours constantly trying to touch me, also his xmas works night out were right beside me and he didn't want to move to a different pub and what made it worse was that he did not reading my body language, I was not interested but he actually expected a full on action tongue war at the end of the date! He actually said "come on" when I turned my face away.

    I have never been so horrified in my life!

    I am also not a cold unfeeling person but rule number one in life. Observe!

    Lying! I was set up with a guy I hadn't met in person, but was able to speak to on the phone ahead of time. He said he was 6'0" but ended up being 5'7". I don't even mind that he was short, but why lie? He also said he was accepted to MIT and Penn State. It turned out he was a high school dropout who, supposedly anyway, eventually earned his GED. If you're going to lie about where you're accepted to school, at least pick something believable, right? In his case, community college, but that's better than nothing and better than lying!

    hassle the wait staff. UGH. i had one guy who took me out and called the waitress over. informed her that he was putting a stack of one dollar bills on the table and every time his tea glass got empty or he looked for her and she wasn't there, he would take a dollar away from her tip. i almost threw up. i left her a 20 under my plate.

    :drinker:

    Edited to change 'weight to wait' ... funny how we get stuck on things ... :)

    1. Biggest one is not opening doors (I like gentleman)
    2. Talk about his ex who is his "best friend", or how much he hates her, etc.
    3. Checks out other women
    4. Doesn't compliment at all (it shows you are not attracted or interested)
    5. Makes you pay on first date (I never dealt with this, call me old fashioned!)
    6. Tries to move too fast aka tongue down the throat surprise kiss
    7. Does not try to dress up *edit - depending on where you are going of course!*
    8. Talks about himself constantly
    All of these SEEM like common sense! There is NO WAY that #3 happened to you!

    Believe it or not, I've been chewed out for being sexist on a date for holding doors and paying for meals. Chivalry isn't dead per se, but it's being pushed by the wayside.

    Exactly - and that's what dates are for! To get to know the other person better, find out what they're like - if they like having doors opened for them/meals paid for/car doors opened, then continue by all means! But if the lady says she's uncomfortable with it, then you know not to worry about it anymore :smile: so long as you listen to her, I think that's all that really matters.

    Probably the worst thing a man could do on a date.... Well, I like politics, and if it turned out he held staunchly conservative views I'd be out the door :laugh: no way are we going to compatible!

    Also, whining, complaining or cynicism. Bad hygiene. YIKES! It's amazing how many guys expect to get close without having cared for their hygiene. NEVER drop the ball on hygiene!

    Don't "forget" your wallet so you "can get a second date" ... since you'll be 'buying next time' and all ...

    No tweed caps. Ever. Also, no socks with shorts, don't show up drunk ... don't take out your partials in the middle of the date. If eating at home, have more than leftovers and bologna in the fridge. Don't smoke ... unless she is first.

    No slapping or offers of spanking that are unsolicited. Not everyone is into that. Don't bite.

    Let's see ... going back through the actual archive here ... this could get interesting ...

    Also adding in. My idea of a good date is not getting invited to someone's dad working men's club to do the pub quiz. Plus the offer to then stay at their dads house on a camp bed afterwards :huh:

    Hahaha that sounds so familiar, the pub quiz part anyway ...

    A pub quiz date would be awesome! Though at a proper real ale pub, not a working men's club....

    1. Bad manners.
    2. Bad hygeine.
    3. Pulling "the octopus" (you know, where the guy suddenly seems to have 8 arms, and they are ALL touching you?).

    Burp and blow it your way whilst eating

    Use his shirt to wipe his teeth after food

    Run his hand up your leg to the top under the table (and try and touch your minnie)

    Keep checking his wallet for money on every drink he buys you

    Grinds his boner on you if you dance a slow dance (and when kisses you good night)

    Tells you with a wink that you're ''in for a shag tonight''

    Oh the list goes on ........

    You have got to be English cos that all sounds so familiar!

    HAHA Yes! Why oh why do the English guys behave this way and expect a second date let alone a bloody kiss!

    Not all English men are like that! Mine is a gentleman.

    And by gentleman, I believe it just means to be polite and thoughtful of others (including your date).

    So on my first date he : walked on the roadside (he also does that when walking next to my elderly and slightly frail dad), opened doors for me (but he does that for anyone, male, female, young, old), paid on the first date to avoid any embarrassment over getting the bill (wasn't expensive and I paid thereafter - that's why I have a job!), checked that I was okay and gave me his jacket when I was cold (he also, in the past, has handed it out to my friends too) and basically looked out/after for me. But it isn't a one-way street - I also looked out for him and checked he was okay and happy too.

    Works a treat - that date ended and we've been together ever since (17 years ago).

    So really I can't say what not to do (some examples here have been astounding) but if you are polite and thoughtful of your date, you probably won't go too far wrong...

    No, for every single woman, there's 10 men all desperately trying to get in there.

    Talking about previous women and making jokes about me
    I wouldn't mind paying for myself or opening my own door, anyway. That's really not necessary, respect should be shown at a deeper level.

    The fault finders....they have always been somewhere better, always had better service...nothing is ever right for them.

    The big "I", can not stop talking about themselves...

    And please put away your cell!

    Well it depends on the Woman and location. In the sticks a Single woman is a novelty and somehow they seem to attract men (single and not). Whereas a Single man in the sticks is destined for a lifetime of loneliness.

    I've experienced some shockers:

    - turned up 45 mins late

    - cried

    - *****ed about his ex for an hour

    - discovered he had forgotten his wallet when we went to pay, he'd ordered a very expensive steak and said he'd pay me back for his half... am yet to see the money

    - got drunk before the date and then during dinner described the threesome he had once, before calling his buddy to see how his afternoon with a prostitute in a hotel room was going

    - announced that he has five children from two ex-wives... at the grand old age of 31

    I think those were the worst.

    Not pay
    Be sexually inappropriate
  • I agree .....talk about sex. This was years ago but one guy informed me our first date that he had had a vasecctomy so there was "no need for me to worry." Thats pretty presumptuous.

    So is mine, but OMG I had to wade through some horrifics before I found him.



    If they're going to talk about sex, they've usually done that on the phone/via text before the date in which case they didn't get a date.

    Don't:
    Tell your date about the times you've been arrested.
    Turn up sweaty because you cycled to the date.
    Accept her offer of paying for some of the bill --> that's not first date stuff
  • Tell me his roommate is his ex wife.

    Acting like a jerk to the waiter... if you're mean to a perfect stranger one whom is handling your food, most importantly mine you're a creep and I will walk out then and there food on the table or not. Trust me, I did this to a guy who was yelling waitress and snapping his fingers at her. Right, whomever you marry is sure going to be happy.

    Talking on his phone or texting while on the date.

    Talking about work, yes you should say what you do for a living, however I dont want a play by play of the layout of your office, your weekly deadlines etc I am on a date not at a staff meeting.

    Talking bad about your mother, a mother teaches her son how to love how he treats his mother will tell you a lot on how he treats his partner... of course, being too close to his mother is a turn off as well. If the date goes to a second or third or long enough to have sex, I really rather you didnt speak to your mother about the experience. Lol yes some guys have.

    Have clean nails, freshly brushed teeth and dont pick your nose.

    What if his mom really is a grade A *kitten*, and he's just trying to warn you what kind of mother in law you'd be up against in the long run? :wink:

    The other one is just creepy however.
