Early Stages of Dating -- No-Nos

Absolute turn offs on a date? I would think that these would annoy me to no end. We are however all very different in regards to tolerances. Still, the following irk me...

1) Bragging about how much money you make / how absolutely important you are at your job.

2) Constantly checking your phone or texting while on a date.

3) Talking about your kids and constantly steering non-kid people to talking about your kids. It's a date. Come on.

4) Talking about how quickly women fall into bed with you. I'm sure they do. Roofies are awesome.

5) Being a really boring conversation person. Idle chitchat is fun when you wait for a bus. If you have something in common, tell me about a fun snorkeling, motorcycle or travel story. Who doesn't want to talk about stuff they can relate to?

6) Saying "Like" or "Uhm" a lot. Yes, you're nervous. And I'm not???

7) People that list things. Kind of like this. I'm annoying myself.

8) *****ing about your parents, your ex, your boss... You can't blame everyone for your hardships. I do however want to thank you in advance for warning me that you're a pansy and blame your parent's divorce for the fact that you suck at life.

9) Don't have a weird obsession with your mom. We all love our parents infinitely (okay maybe not all but I sure adore my mum and dad) but a dude talking about how his "Mom is my best friend" and "Nobody will ever be as good as my mom" screams Oedipus uninterrupted. Cut this one off... immediately.

10) Don't make an excuse or apologize for a random boner. It happens. Enjoy it while it happens. And that we still do it for you.

I'm at work making lots of money and I am super important. I better stop screwing around on company time.

Good luck and enjoy the new single status. It's an exciting journey. Have fun. The internet actually allows for chance encounters with like minded people we may otherwise not get to meet in person. Yay!

Junk pics the next morning. Grabbing your thing. Texting during the date.

Definitely texting during the date ...

texting pics of the grabbing is really bad lol

5. I'm a terrible conversationalist.

10. The only acceptable response to this is, "Don't act like you're not impressed." or blaming it on the pleats creating an optical illusion.

Went on a date last night...you tell me what you think...

His best friend is his ex wife...awesome they have a kid together glad they are able to keep it pleasant. Was on Facebook during dinner... going to be with his ex wife today going furniture shopping and last but not least felt like odds were against him being married again because every marriage after the first was only going to last half as long as the previous and he read that only getting remarried to an ex had potential for lasting.

I should mention I did not bring up the topics of marriage or his ex.

Should I be concerned there?

Are you already thinking about marrying him? Maybe he should be concerned.

Nah he brought it up, I was more concerned with maybe hes not over his ex. Nice guy though and I enjoyed myself on our date, if he does want to be with her I just don't want to get drug into it.

Thanks cupcake I will

Fourth date. He invited me over for dinner which obviously meant things. I was totally ok with that since I liked this guy a lot, but I was sort of living it one day at a time and I had no rush to make things serious.
Turns out he had bought me a toothbrush in case I wanted to sleep over... It was sooo weird :laugh:
We've been together for 2+ years :flowerforyou:

1.) date picked me up at 1 P.M. and took me to the Botanical Gardens. On the way we listened to Selena Gomez because he had just bought the new CD (strike one). While at the gardens he had me take picture after picture of the same poses rather than get to know me. He called me Princess (strike 2). And after 30 minutes in the hot Texas Sun (May in Texas means 90+ degree weather and ridiculous humidity). I started to sweat. He licked a bead of sweat off of my neck. Just leaned over and licked it off. In front of God, Children and everyone. (Strike three YOU'RE OUT!!!)

2.) Guy took me to go sell drugs and a gun before going on our date

3.) On the first date I had a guy inquire about my feelings towards breast augmentation because even though mine are adequately sized for most girls, they weren't big enough for my body in his opinion and he needed to know that I would be open to getting implants if the relationship progressed. Needless to say, it did not progress... and did I mention that I wear a DD? Just throwing that out there.....

So I am pretty sure that those are the top 3

Wow I love this thread!

The guy cried... while telling me the story about how he met a foreign exchange student at a party, slept with her twice that week and then she left for a quick road trip before flying home. He decided to read a lot into "you're really sweet Mike, but it's not going to work because I'm going back to the USA in a week" and decided she was keen on him but the Pacific Ocean was the main barrier. So he went out, bought a ring, then stalked her on her road trip so he could propose and announce he was shifting to Ohio to be with her. She was horrified, rejected him, while screaming that he was a crazy delusional stalker, and he then invited me on a date a week later. E.g. two weeks after he met the girl he proposed to.

Ain't nobody got time for that.

I used that money to buy us dinner! Quit being so stuck up!

I had enough loose change to pay for our McNuggets WITHOUT the drug deal... just saying.

If we are going to break the law can't we at least go for grand larson and indecent exposure... just sayin'...

You dropped the ball buddy.

Wow. Just wow...

Not a dating story, but how about the guy I had a one night stand with who told me that we could never date because he would be too ashamed to introduce his parents to someone as fat as me, but hopes we can still be friends and have sex. We didn't. He then called me up on the following Valentine's Day to tell me I gave him Herpes. Which I didn't. Turns out he just wanted to ruin my birthday/valentine's weekend. Not only did it ruin my birthday weekend but it also ended up with me being a few hundred dollars short that month due to repeat testing (three times, just to make sure). Lesson well learned there...

also, apologize for the TMI. Just figured someone would enjoy the disastrous love life that is mine.

He tends to do that more often than not, he's what we call...special...

I actually work for a company that helps people with special needs... and they go on better dates than that...

I posted this on another thread on here a few weeks ago, but this will always be the biggest no-no that I've ever experienced lol. It definitely wasn't a date, but everyone always seems to get a kick out of this story (it was by no means funny at the time):

Talking to a guy online that lives an hour away, we talk for a week or so, add each other on Facebook, and then I get a random phone call from him and he's like "I'm on my way to come see you"... I was confused, had never given him my address or mentioned exactly whereabouts I live, etc... I was like 'oh he's obviously kidding'.

An hour after that phone call, there's a knock on my front door. I had three roommates that were all out of town for the month for winter break, so I'm home by myself. HE'S STANDING OUTSIDE MY FRONT DOOR WITH A BACKPACK. In my large, locked, high-rise apartment building that had no labels on the doors/mailboxes to identify who lives in each apartment. And somehow, he is standing at my front door. Says it was easy to find out where I lived using "landmarks that you mentioned, and the internet". Da fuk?

I made up some lie about having to go somewhere, he asked me for gas money to get home (WTF??? I gave him money just to get him out of my living room), and then I blocked/deleted him from everything and never heard a peep from him again. I almost think I'll see his mugshot on the news someday for something. ::shudders::

That was the thread I was looking for yesterday! Yeah, that's a bad one.
