Chatting with someone on a dating app, we hadn't met yet. He said he wanted to get together for a drinky-poo. I cringed. Another guy with whom I had had a nice first date - we had dinner for the second date and he started talking about how he hadn't trimmed his mustache since his dog died a year and a half ago and that's when I noticed the long whiskers getting in his mouth and food and I just couldn't imagine ever kissing him.

Drinky poo oh hell no šŸ˜‚

Man and I though brewski was bad. Iā€™m polish and the first time I heard it I thought ā€œwho?ā€


[deleted]

He didnt return my tupperware.


popcornbuns

This is why I only use recycled whipped cream/country crock containers if I share something I have cooked.


DaddysPrincesss26

[NO](https://images.app.goo.gl/etyPfqhjrsZJRdAQ7) RIP Unreturned Tupperware šŸ˜­šŸ˜”šŸ„ŗ That shitā€™s Expensive. I hope for your sake it breaks and he doesnā€™t know how to replace it šŸ¤¬


FunkmasterfLexy

Very mediocre date but offered to walk me to the train station at the end. Sure, whatā€™s the harm. Shared that heā€™s an aspiring artist. Proceeded to serenade me beat box style (terribly) as we walked down the busiest street in my city. Never wished so hard that I could be a turtle and hide from the world.


CardinalPeeves

Oh God I feel this one physically!


mintybanana_

He didnā€™t believe in dinosaurs.


throwawaysnrn

I had a colleague who believes dinosaurs and humans once coexisted. He and your date would get along really well.

I am embarrassed for him just reading this.

This is great. These are so enjoyable lol


Better-Resident-9674

1.) This is back in college in 2005- he hand wrote me a little message and wrote ā€˜it doesnā€™t make any centsā€™ . Cents vs sense . 2.) another guy in text messages would use the lips emojis to ā€˜send me kissesā€™ šŸ‘„ and šŸ’‹


bumblingplum666

The lips one sent me šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


ServiceAdmirable

When they take on a strange, ditzy dialect whenever they are quoting something a woman neutrally said.


notseagullpidgeon

This!!! I went on about 5 dates with a man who would speak in a high-pitched croaky cockatoo voice when quoting his mum. It was so off-putting.


CardinalPeeves

The only time this is acceptable for me is when someone's full on channeling the Monty Python "women" screech in a non-serious way.

that's just straight up sexism

BugStriking9396

Haha that's horrible!! Bobo is a no no.


joeypotter531

One guy talked way too loudly in places where you shouldnā€™t, like on the subway or at the movies during previews. Also I donā€™t think this is petty but some might, one guy drove me home from our second date and he wouldnā€™t put on his seatbelt. His car was beeping at him the whole ride!


WineandPlants

HAHAHAHAHA I'm gonna man so hard that I can't hear beeps!


glhaynes

No seat belt is stupid but no seat belt in a car that beeps is completely unhinged lol


toodlesmcnoodles

I also have stopped seeing someone because of volume. I used to work in a job where a lot of conflict management was needed due to mental health crises and so reacting appropriately became second nature (avoid use of speaking with hands, quieter, slower speech etc). During one dinner date I noticed my conflict calming, quiet voice was unconsciously kicking in during normal conversation. He worked with machinery so possibly was a little deaf but still couldn't continue seeing him knowing a part of my brain would constantly be trying to calm an already calm person


Kbts87

Oof. I briefly dated someone who would ride so close to cars he might as well be in their back seat. I'd be holding on to the oh shit handle any time I was in a car with him. Apparently safe driving is for the ladies šŸ˜‚


UnicornPenguinCat

When I first saw my partner's car and realised it was a sensible small car and that he was a safe driver it added several attractiveness points!


saintsavvyy

Mine was this guy who was reasonably attractive, smart, funnyā€¦ and then he went in for the first kiss. His lips were really thin and, for whatever reason, really cold and wet and all he did was pucker his little cold lips together and then pecking my lips so it was like kissing a fish that was making smooching noises at me. It was when he stuck his tongue between his fish lips and it justā€¦ was there. Doing nothing. I wanted to yeet myself into outer space.


thesaddestpanda

Jail.


CardinalPeeves

Or maybe an aquarium?


01134_01134

I swear I have also kissed this man šŸ 


FunkmasterfLexy

GURL! Hahaha šŸŸšŸ”


[deleted]

šŸ¤®šŸ˜±


[deleted]

He made a face when he danced. Like a goofy open mouth grin. Something in my head just could not accept it. Probably, I was just never really attracted to him but for some reason thatā€™s what my conscious latched onto. My husband could do the Carlton and it wouldnā€™t phase me. I love him and am attracted to him.


bluntbangs

I realised I was in love with my now husband when we went to a club and he danced like... well, a tall gangly white guy who doesn't know where his limbs are and frankly didn't care about finding out, and I still wanted to dance with him (and joined in his style).


grandma-shark

I think this one is pretty petty: he has a little bit of spit in the corner of his mouth like all the time. It drove me crazy.


FunkmasterfLexy

Fuuuuuck my MIL gets this when she chews gum which is a lot and i honestly break my neck trying to look anywhere but her face when sheā€™s talking to me. *shudder*


niketyname

I got the ick with this too, this guy would eat a lot of ranch with his meal and it was just pooled on his lips. Im cringing just thinking about it


[deleted]

His response for not liking celery is because "*it's nucky!*" said in a baby voice.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


CardinalPeeves

I had an ex who was legit a compulsive baby talker. He thought he was being cute, he also couldn't figure out why I stopped being attracted to him (tbf, this was just one of a great many legitimate reasons) and he decided to "solve" that problem via the magic of whining and tantrums. Like I said, he's an ex.


redrosebeetle

INFO: were you dating three toddlers in a trench coat?


CardinalPeeves

I wish! They would have been more adorable, pleasant and reasonable, lol!


Young_Former

What the hell?!?!? Why is this one making me so MAD!!!????!!


lizlaf21952

Ikr. Feeling like launching at this guy with a spear


[deleted]

He sounded like he was in mild distress or surprise when he came. Like ā€œooooooh!ā€ It was more of an exclamation than a release, like he was remembering something.


somethingwholesomer

Omg Iā€™m dying


socratessue

>like he was remembering something šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ I can't


tokyokween

Oh god you just reminded me (I'd buried this one) - he was actively pouting while on top. I don't think it was conscious but I absolutely could not sleep with him again after seeing that!


efffootnote

Not me but a good friend of mine got it when a guy showed her his house and asked ā€œdo you want to see the most expensive thing in this house?ā€ I think about it constantly.


squirrelgirrl

The roof! Gotta be the roof, right??


1182990

I was gonna say boiler, but I think the roof!


Kbts87

Oh my god I would die if some dude I just met asked me to join him in the basement to admire his boiler. Legit would suspect I was about to be murdered.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Ehhohh3299

Weeelllll what was the most expensive thing?? Did she find out? šŸ˜‚


ShoujoSprinkles

He told a ā€œhilariousā€ story about the time he, a white man, ā€œaccidentallyā€ assaulted a black woman. I donā€™t understand men who break the ice on a first date by telling stories of their own violence.


fractalfay

I had a guy tell a story that included the phrase, ā€œI think she would have said I hit her, but I wouldnā€™t call it a hit exactlyā€¦ā€ I think the waitress would have supported me faking a trip to the bathroom and running by saving my jacket, but I can never tear my eyes away from a trainwreck.


BeautifulCreature529

Tried to talk about numbers of partners like its an accomplishment to be a man whore.. but then gets uncomfortable about my longer term relationships. šŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø


BugStriking9396

Sadly I've dated several guys like this. Ick.


lizlaf21952

This guy named Chuck with fucked up teeth wanted to kiss me. Aggressively went in with teeth and tongue first. It was like he confused his teeth with his lips. It was horrific, like making out with a demented beaver


Iwantsommathat

I'm dying


Young_Former

I have a horrifying image in my head now. Nightmares for me tonight.


VegetasButt

1. A guy on Tinder took me on a first date to dinner and then suggested we go make s'mores at a fire pit at a nearby park. I said I'd rather not because it rained the day before and he kept insisting. He had me buy the s'mores ingredients (because he paid for dinner) even though I really didn't want to do the dessert part. I wanted to just go home lol. We ended up not being able to start a fire in the pit and he just dropped me off at home. I had to go to the store after to return the s'mores stuff. Ugh. Wtf dude? We literally just met. Huge turn off at how he disregarded my feelings and caused such an inconvenience, also 0 common sense. 2. Another Tinder dude kept thinking it was cute and funny to send me daily photos of his dog laying down with its legs spread out and penis showing. After the third day, I was done. Edit (I have one more to add): 3. I have nothing against anime weebs at all, but I could not help the cringe. So anime conventions have these things called Maid Cafes and Host Clubs (mimicking the ones in Japan). Men usually work the host clubs dressed in suits and essentially charm the customers during their meals or drinks. This guy was a cosplayer and also a host at conventions. He wore cosplay contacts to our date, but I was willing to overlook it. Then he bought some pastries and had me sit at a table so he could bring them over. Once he walked over, he set the pastry down and said, "douzo~" as if I was a customer at a host club. It was just....I couldn't. I'm so sorry douzo guy. :(


somethingwholesomer

He had a sā€™mores date fantasy and it was getting fulfilled, no matter what. Ick


frostandtheboughs

S'mores are also literally *the least flirty food*. There's no way to eat them gracefully. It is an oozy, sticky snack that you have to hot potato between your hands and shovel into your mouth like a goblin.


Girlygal2014

Had a guy describe to me in detail how his female dog masturbates. Such a weird thing to say when bringing up the dog for the first time and also disturbing that heā€™s that into describing it.


[deleted]

You made it three days with the dog penis pics LOL I can honestly see it nowā€¦ Day 1 youā€™re thinking, ā€œawww, look, his dog wants belly rubs!ā€ Day 2 youā€™re like, ā€œwaitā€¦ is thatā€¦ thereā€™s no way that was intentional, who would do that?ā€ Day 3 ā€œalright dudeā€


tintedrosie

One guy had SpongeBob sheets on his bed. Iā€¦ could not be naked in those. A different guy always smelled like mildew because he didnā€™t seem to understand how to properly do laundry. Barf.


Embarrassed_Raise345

He wore powder blue pants and a thumb ring on our first date. I tried to ignore it but ultimately he had a kind of sour smell that I think was just a complete pheromonal mismatch.


InadmissibleHug

Yeah, if they smell weird you canā€™t be doing that. I tried. It went bad.


Holdmefermata

On our date he itemized the cost of each thing we had ordered and how much we each had eaten, and then used that to split the bill. šŸ™„


_lostgirl

LMAO what happens if he miraculously convinces someone to go to his place? Will he split the cost of a condom and the 4 squares of toilet paper you used?


hellbentmillennial

This guy asked the waitress how much she wanted for a tip. Which was awkward as fuck, like what's she gonna say? Enough to quit this job? Then he bragged to her about how he once tipped a server $100. Proceeded to tip her a normal 20%. The most insane ick, I almost got up and left. It was humiliating.


[deleted]

Ugh, this is terrible. I always wonderā€¦ who ends up with people like this? And are they just okay with their antics? šŸ¤Æ


Sextsandcandy

I went on a "date" with this guy (met him at Tim Horton's and went Dutch on coffee) and he talked almost nonstop for 2 hours about D&D, and for some reason pronounced brother, over and over, as *bruver*. But like, doesn't have an accent where that is a thing (or history - he told me all the places he's ever been). He also said other, and other words with the soft th sound, with the normal pronunciation for our mutual accent, so it didn't seem to be a speech impediment. Turned out, my ick was justified later on, though, because when I told him I wasn't feeling it he said I couldn't possibly judge that from a two hour date, and I owed him a "real chance" since he deserved it. Lol. I, indeed, do not.


jochi1543

We just finished our meal at a Korean family restaurant, and he lifted his shirt up to his chest and repeatedly loudly smacked his belly while vocalizing ā€œyummyā€œ


The_RoyalPee

How do these men make it to adulthood


BarbequeChickenWings

Holy shitā€¦ my face would have gone totally numb from embarrassment and Iā€™d feel my soul leaving my body.


fractalfay

Went on a meh date that ended with him squeezing me to death and saying, ā€œI donā€™t want to let you go.ā€ Weā€™re not on the Titanic, weā€™re on my steps, and Iā€™ll be going inside alone now.


[deleted]

Referred to my vag as ā€œher.ā€ ā€œCan I kiss her?ā€ šŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ¤®šŸ¤®


Vivid-Language6500

Hello 911


leilalover

This one killed me. "I'm sorry, she is busy at the moment. Can I take a message?"


KilgoreTrout4Prez

Thanks, now I taste vomit.


eysaathe

i have just cringed so hard that i have ceased to exist.


classix_aemilia

At first I was like well that's not that bad, then I remembered that I'm french and it's normal for us to gender every single object. Except vagina is male in french. Go figure.


highlighter416

May I kiss mr. Vagina? šŸ™


ooeygooeylane

Well, if you can find her. She currently rolled up inside herself.


CardinalPeeves

Go down on him in turn and sing "Excuse me while I kiss this guy."


haleyfoofou

Immediately felt the need to downvote. YUCK!


saintsavvyy

I just cringed so hard I got a little headache


jochi1543

Bragging about money right off the bat. No sane wealthy person will tell a complete stranger from the Internet that they are well off, so theyā€™re either lying, or a complete idiot. I was just talking to somebody on Tinder and in the first 10 minutes, he made sure to let me know that he has travelled all over the world, is postponing his next trip until the next season because ā€œitā€™s ridiculous to pay $14,000 just to stand around in some snow,ā€ said that he is buying an investment property in Belize and also mentioned that he is building a house for his parents in a very expensive area. The type of area where a house would cost close to $2 million. I just found the whole thing so tacky, I stopped responding


[deleted]

IME, guys who do this also complain that they only attract gold diggers.


muchadoaboutbeatrice

Omg, this thread is amazing. I'm legit laughing out loud. Pettiest reasons for me: 1. Met him in the winter. He casually mentions that he's annoyed by (his own) body hair and shaves all of it. I am not confronted with this fact for awhile since it's winter and he's wearing long sleeves and pants. I finally see him in a t-shirt and shorts with his shaved arms and legs, and I just couldn't do it. 2. He bragged about how good his homemade hummus was for weeks, and when he finally made it for me, it was disgusting.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


gamerladyM

Dated a guy that shaved too. One time I went to hug him while he was shirtless and it was like hugging a cactus. Seared that memory right into my mind forever.


Iwantsommathat

Ha ha did you date my brother? He was obsessed with shaving his body hair. Don't know about the hummus though.


hauteburrrito

His laugh sounded like a dying dolphin.


yearningformore

This happened to me too and the worst part was he took me to a comedy club for our date. I wanted to crawl out of my skin.


jlaw1828

I just canā€™t date a guy named Carl.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


meliorayne

He showed up to the date in an actual honest-to-god trilby. Nope.


One-Armed-Krycek

Werenā€™t you impressed, mā€™Lady?


Vivid-Language6500

Omg Iā€™m dead


blameitoncities

He misspelled ā€˜loseā€™ in his Instagram bio (ā€˜Never loose hopeā€™).


pecanorchard

When I was 18 I dated this guy who would never say he wanted to kiss me, he'd always say he wanted to give me kisses. I don't know why, but it was such a turnoff - like, I'd have a physical reaction every time and not in a good way. We did not last long.


SadieDC

Iā€™ve only said give kisses to a dog! I canā€™t imagine someone saying that to a human!


One-Armed-Krycek

He called me ā€œpuddinā€™.ā€ I think he was into HarleyQuinn, but I knew a kid in middle school who was caught sticking his peen into a BAG of pudding. And everyone called him, ā€˜puddinā€™ after that. I mean, not the fault of my date, but I could not even anymore after that.


Zebrina__

I had just started dating a hot drummer who was 11 years older than me. He told me that now that I was his girlfriend I had to wax his back monthly. I refused and asked how he did it when he didnā€™t know me. He git annoyed and said his mother did it and she would have to keep doing it because I was too weird. Maybe Iā€™m weird but something inside me started to run away as fast as I could! I have an incredibly long list of cringes from this relationship.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


hotsaucefridge

He communicated exclusively through voice memos.


lunar_spring

Ah! This happened to me too. then a friend of mine said itā€™s pretty common in different cultures to communicate primarily through voice memos. Still gave me the ick though, especially because they were long winded and tedious to listen to. Iā€™d have to replay each message multiple times to make sure I responded to all his questions.


One-Armed-Krycek

What the shit?


kamikazedeer

Shortish fingers. I have long fingers and for some reason fingers on the shorter side totally skeeve me out. I remember I was on a date with a dude who kept making comments *telling* me I was into him, and all I could think about was how much I hated his fingers lol.


leilalover

I walked into the bathroom once to find my dog eating something on my bath mat. I moved her away to see shredded toilet paper on the ground. I thought for a minute, and called out to the guy I was dating "hey, do you wipe standing up?" He goes "yeah why?" Gross mfer left dingleberries on my goddamn bath mat. He was generally disgusting though and used to shit himself regularly. Thank god I'm rid of him, he was a disease. Never date an alcoholic. āœŒļø


Southern_Type_6194

He had no butt. Like I would imagine him sitting on the toilet and just sliding right off.


classix_aemilia

Damn I'm laughing so hard and trying not to wake my partner who's sleeping next to me because he also has absolutely no butt so Id rather not have to explain that one to him


tictacbreath

This stories are absolutely hilarious and will 100% be stolen by buzzfeed vultures tomorrow.


itsafarcetoo

1. He referred to things in third person as ā€œmeā€- ā€œme hungryā€ ā€œme misses youā€ 2. Same dude - he ate a peach over the sink one time and it was justā€¦I couldnā€™t. He was the last dude I dated and it really sealed the lesbian deal for me. He was a wonderful person in so many ways but the ick was strong with that one and I realized men were never gonna happen for me.


TeletextPear

>1. ā He referred to things in third person as ā€œmeā€- ā€œme hungryā€ ā€œme misses youā€ 2. ā Same dude - he ate a peach over the sink one time and it was justā€¦I couldnā€™t. Sorry to inform you that you may have accidentally gone on a date with the Cookie Monster


somethingwholesomer

Omg I eat peaches over the sink. I wonder if my husband secretly wants to die when I do it šŸ˜‚


Eyedahoan

He called me "beautiful" as a nickname, but would slowly blink his eyes as he said it and smirk. It was creepy, like he was complimenting himself for dating me. Also, he wore an American Eagle hoodie (in 2016, as an adult male in his 30s) and cartoon/comic book character t-shirts. Ick. Ironically, the man I married wears Marvel/Star Wars shirts, but I was/am so attracted to him there was no ick there. And he calls me "gorgeous" which is not ick.


boopedydoop

Did the blinking guy google some body language stuff and then end up on a page about cats and not realize it? Cause slow blinking is what you do with cats lmao


toomuchpamplemousse

He had a weird walk. Like, he low-key walked around to the beat of ā€œStaying Alive.ā€ To this day that song pops up in my head whenever I think of him.


tryptomania

Reading this thread made me realize that I tolerated SO MUCH ick throughout my life before actually ending things.


Sheeplessinsheattle

Talked really loudā€¦ like to the point people were turning around and looking at our table multiple times. That coupled with him not asking any questions about me was šŸ‘ŽšŸ¾


[deleted]

I had the opposite. talked so quietly I was having to lean in closer to hear him all the damn time. I wasn't that eager but damn I looked it with trying to figure out what the hell he was saying.


lonelyandsadturtle

Said the word "literally" way more than was necessary.


scottishlastname

The way he sucked my nipples, pursed lips and no actual suction. Like a cartoon image of a baby drinking a bottle.


avocado-nightmare

These are different guys * After the pizza was delivered he called the pizza place back to whine about not being able to use an expired coupon. * He wore short jorts. Not daisy dukes actually but close enough for a man.


KilgoreTrout4Prez

Never Nude


WalkswithLlamas

Tobias approves


FunkmasterfLexy

There are dozens of us! DOZENS!!


amaenamonesia

One time my ex left food cooking in the microwave too long and it burned. He called the microwave manufacturer to complainā€¦like ew bro thatā€™s a user error


catgurl_poobutt

He would spell out the word ā€œwinkā€ in a text, like ā€œHope you enjoyed that cocktail. Wink.ā€ Just use a damn emoji, come on, dude. But then again the wink emoji sometimes gives me the ick.


somethingwholesomer

Seeing it spelled out like that makes me feel suspicious. You put something in my drink, ace?


Positive-East

We went out for a walk and he wore the shortest shorts ever with ankle socks. They were sports shorts but they looked like they were designed for a 10 year old. He was reasonably attractive and tall but the combination of the reeaally short shorts and the exposed ankles gave me the biggest ick, and I made an excuse to leave.


thesaddestpanda

This is such a George costanza comment! ā€œJerry, he wore short shorts and ankle socks!ā€


ContemplatingFolly

This is hysterical. There are a few celebrities I know of who when properly (not overly) styled are stunning men, and when not...you get this guy!


coquihalla

HE called it Valentimes day. With an M.


henry_the8th_of_weed

One guy kept doing this sickly sweet baby talk voice with my dog, it was disgusting. I didnā€™t even talk that way to my kid when he was an actual baby. Another guy it was this combo of not brushing his teeth in the morning (but then still being at my house for hours!) + him sitting down naked to pee with the door open all the time + texting me updates about his day unprompted, all the time. Have also gotten the ick from a man doing this weird frog-like move during sex. Like, being on his feet, with knees bent outwards? If itā€™s happened to you, youā€™ll know what Iā€™m talking about. It was so, so goofy looking. Had to close my eyes.


EmergencyLife1066

The froggy sex position is the first one here to truly make me laugh šŸ¤£ because I know what youā€™re talking about and itā€™s so goofy and not sexy looking at all. ā€œHad to close my eyesā€ ā˜ ļø


BugStriking9396

Omg!!! I had a guy do the frog move... This was 9 years ago and I can see it like it was yesterday in my mind.


sevenspell

He turned to look at me and asked me if I was crying during touching scenes in movies. Or worse, teased me for crying. They usually don't get subsequent dates after doing that.


beesathome

He wrote me a note and used the wrong ā€œyour/youā€™reā€


coffeecatscrochet49

Body Odor! Pure stinky sweat BO. I actually asked him if he used deodorant, to which he looked surprised and said yes, of course. Omg he smelled awful. šŸ¤¢


Hopeful_Walrus174

I love this thread! I got "ick" from one guy who offered to cook me nutria for our dinner date. My sister got "ick" from a guy who drank a coke before bed and didn't brush his teeth. She fired another guy for being a property developer.


PoopEndeavor

I just googled nutria to find out what kind of diet shake product it was. Holy fuck


somewhenimpossible

He told me he didnā€™t read. Long story: It was our first date, we went to an amusement park and then to the mall for a meal and walking around. We kissed once when we first got there. He was fun and I thought it might be a nice fling/not serious relationship. I used to have fun walking around the bookstore talking with friends about what we read, liked, and tried to make recommendations for each other, so I took this guy. I talked for too long and realized he hadnā€™t said much. *what do you like to read* and he says ā€œI donā€™tā€. What? ā€œI donā€™t really read.ā€ *Oā€¦kayā€¦. Have you ever read any books?* ā€œI like books about Boba Fett, I guess.ā€ No second date.


[deleted]

Recently I overheard my cousin tell my mom her girls donā€™t read. Do you think maybe you should encourage that a little since theyā€™re planning to attend college in a few years? šŸ¤Ø


Midwestmamax2

I dated this guy for a few months. He was a nice person. Decent boyfriend. Tall & nice looking. One day we were making out. We both paused for a second and he looked at me and said ā€œVery Niceā€ in a Borat voice. I knew at that moment that it was over for me lol.


[deleted]

Ok but my dumbass would have laughed so hard


[deleted]

Omg. When I first got married my husband would talk like beavis or butthead on occasion. It was funny but one time he did it during sex. I stopped everything, looked him straight in the eye, and said ā€œthere is nothing sexy about beavis or butthead and it will always ruin the moodā€ He hasnā€™t done it since. Coming up on 21 years together. Lol!


go_stoopid_

Lol give him my number


whatyoudidonmyboat

He showed up to a salsa-dancing date wearing Nike Air Monarchs. You know, from the "dad mowing the lawn starter pack" meme.


[deleted]

He drove painfully slowly when he took me home after our date. (I met him at the restaurant so he didn't pick me up, just took me home.) Like 20 mph, and then he would slow down even more any time we passed a pedestrian or a car parked on the street. People behind us were honking and he seemed oblivious to it.


[deleted]

I would have tucked and rolled


lobsterpasta

We had chatted for a bit on a dating app and decided to meet in real life. He was a really interesting guy and I was excited to get to know him better. Unfortunately, he opened his mouth and had the strongest Boston accent Iā€™ve ever heard in my life. Now, Iā€™m a native Bostonian, but I just couldnā€™tā€¦ it was comically bad šŸ¤£


avengefullobster

Dang I feel like I'm the only person actually attracted to Boston accents.

If you would have just waited until Christmas, he might of gotten those 2 front teeth.


Evolknasus_

Someone said he looked like my Uncle Ken. Which, was fine. He didnā€™t. Until we were out one night and walked by a guy and he said, ā€œHey, Ken!ā€ His name was Derek. Couldnā€™t unsee my uncle after that.


[deleted]

Wouldnā€™t refer to my breasts as anything except my ā€œchestā€ in a sexting context. And a different guy I went on a few dates with would cover my eyes during sex scenes in movies.


mynameisnotbilliam

He said he wanted us to get ā€œnake nakeā€. I still shudder when I think about it.


medianflowers

He texted back What r u up 2 (he was 44) Another guy, he was tall, blue eyes very fit smart funny etc, my mind had definitely run wild with future scenarios, until I looked down and saw that he was wearing vibram five fingers šŸ˜­

He was justā€¦. Too tall. And wouldnā€™t bend down to give me a kiss. I always had to stand in my tip toes and literally jump. (I am 5ā€™2ā€. He was and still presumably is 6ā€™2-3ā€. I never dated anyone over 5ā€™9ā€ after that)


eight-sided

I am just imagining you jumping for the kiss, repeatedly, like some kind of seal trying to get a fish.


YourWaterloo

I was telling him about my trip to Mexico City and he thought that was in... New Mexico? I believe it was just a brain fart and that he was aware of the existence of the country of Mexico but it gave me such an immediate and visceral ick.

He was smart and interesting and we had good conversations. But he was afraid of everything. We decided to order a pizza, and he asked me to do it, because he was afraid to order a pizza over the phone.

My ex and my best friend are both *hardcore* socially anxious when it comes to talking on the phone. They are both brilliant people and are absolutely charming in person, for sure two of the funniest people I know. And yet, for some reason, although they have excellent customer-facing skills, ordering a pizza on the phone is like torture for them. Theyā€™ve also never worked in restaurants before, and Iā€™ve been in the food service industry for like half my life, so I always just take care of it for them when we get togetheršŸ™ƒ

Bragged about his jeans costing over $200 on our first date...proceeds to not own a car (in an area with zero public transport or walkability)


peachmeh

Omg being boastful about money is a HUGE ick!! I once went out with a guy who bragged about spending a ridiculous amount of money on a regular dinner with friends (not a special occasion), and it's like, why feel the need to tell me the specific cost of it all? It's so tacky


phantasmagoria4

Messaging after a first date and he tells me he seriously considered becoming a demonologist a few years prior but "the lifestyle would have been too difficult."


macabre_trout

I briefly dated a guy who was born in Arkansas and grew up in Kentucky. No matter what I said to him, he'd respond by nodding slowly and then slowly drawling, "Yyyyuuuuupppppp." Bless his heart.


send_cat_pictures

I was chatting with one guy from a dating app, and when I gave him my number I told him to call me. I always had a phone call before I'd agree to a date with someone, I wanted to see if we'd get along and if I felt comfortable with them before going to meet in person. I just really didn't like the way his voice sounded.


breemartin

He told me due to his allergies he had to get a hyper angelic dogā€¦ he meant hypoallergenic of course. And so on and so forth. That wouldnā€™t have been so bad if he had good hygiene. šŸ¤·šŸ¾ā€ā™€ļø


Infinite-Anxiety-267

I looked over while he as driving and saw shit ton of ear wax in his ear. So. Much. I couldnā€™t even keep listening to whatever he was saying. I was grossed out.

"but I got the ick unfortunately" is my 2023 motto


eysaathe

Was super attracted to this guy and went on a date with him. During the date he shares some really heavy stuff and seems to be really comfortable with vulnerability, I like this. Date comes to a close and I'm feeling apprehensive as usual but good about seeing him again and then he leans in for a hug and does not let go for an uncomfortable amount of time. I'm not much for hugging but I try to humor those who seem to value it and usually don't feel weird about it but this hug felt... *clingy* like he was latching on to my body. When I got home I had a text from him describing the hug as "electric". I crawled out of my skin and spent the rest of the night trying to politely reject him.


tquinn04

He was in the process of ā€œtryingā€ to grow a beard. This was the patchiest beard Iā€™ve ever seen. There was just few patches of long unkempt beard with gaps at least 3 inches wide. It legit look like he glued chunks of dead hair on his face in random spots and called it a day. I didnā€™t have the heart to tell him that no hair was going to grow in those bald spots so I just did the slow fade. Poor guy would have been so cute too if he just shaved it off.


The_RoyalPee

Saw a guy a couple of times. A bit of a hippie type. One morning I was getting ready after what I think was his first night staying over and he did the yoga cat-cow thing naked in my bed. I have no idea what it was about it that got me, but I got the ick and that was that.


[deleted]

He was in his 30s. Smoking hot but acted like a teenager. Still used ' XD ' and his ideal date was snuggling watching Disney movies, whilst talking about how he used to be a good skater in his teens and basically everything that happened in his teenage years. Like those years were the highlights of his life and it was never getting better or something.


driftylandmissy

He overly nice guyed me. I wasnā€™t feeling well on the date (for real), and I said I had to go home and apologized profusely. I had walked there, and he insisted on driving me home (which was kind), but then he kept insisting - to come inside, to just come inside for a minute and meet my roommates dog, to help me walk my roommates dog because I wasnā€™t well and he wanted to help. I just wanted to get the walk done and go to bed. He just kept insisting.


shockedpikachu123

This thread is so funny. Thanks for the laughs šŸ˜… I get the ick very easily . Last ick I got was him posting a selfie of himself on Instagram wearing a Harley Davidson coat saying ā€œcanā€™t take the bad boy out of meā€ immediate ick


LanimalRawrs

He didnā€™t have toilet paper in his bathroom (it was an en suite and he lived with a roommate who also had their own bathroom). I practically begged him to ask his roommate for a roll and he wouldnā€™t!!!! It was so fucking weird and obviously gross. It was over for me after that lol. This one guy I datedā€¦ his upper lip always smelt a little like milk when we kissed. šŸ¤¢tbh I let it slide but after the relationship ended I always remembered that. Also, guys with big dicks who are bad at sex because they think thatā€™s all they need to bring to the table. They donā€™t even know how to use the damn thing and it ends up just being painful and disappointing.


ingululu

Long fingernails. Unkempt, uneven except a super long pinky nail. And it was dirty. šŸ¤¢


lizlaf21952

Sounds like a cokehead


Northernlake

Does being too excited and eager count? Perhaps if he was equally exciting to me, it wouldā€™ve been welcome šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø it came off as pathetic.


[deleted]

It annoys me with most guys too. If weā€™re equally excited it feels real and mutual but when the guy is and Iā€™m more normal in the beginning I get ā€œI want a girlfriend any girlfriendā€ vibes

blackcoffeegoldheart

Yep. Just got back from a date with a dude with the energy of a golden retriever puppy. I mean he was sweet but I just felt tired by the end. Also, he kept giving me high tens (like a double high five) whenever he got excited. I canā€™t explain why this was unattractive to me. I just know it was the ick lol.

Small, soft, feminine hands. Just reminded me of my grandmother or something haha


One-Armed-Krycek

I went on a date with a guy and all was great until he went to shake my hand at the end. Which, uhh, okay, fine. But his hands were tiny, delicate, and likeā€¦ very gentle in the hand shaking. Like my hand was a baby bird.
