Here Are 30 Silly Yet Valid Reasons For Refusing To Date Someone As Shared In This Online Group

Author and cartoonist Scott Adams once noted that “Nothing defines humans better than their willingness to do irrational things in the pursuit of phenomenally unlikely payoffs. This is the principle behind lotteries, dating, and religion.”

And while you can explain lotteries using numbers, and religion using philosophy, dating, relationships, and love in general are tough nuts to crack. But some still do try to explain themselves when it comes to dating, even if their reasoning is petty.

Not too long ago, folks on Reddit shared reasons—petty, yet more or less still rightful or fair enough ones, and sometimes just plain weird—to not date someone. And if you’ve been here long enough, you’ll know we covered a similar thread not too long ago, so you can check that out once you’re done with this one.

So, scroll down to enjoy some of the best and most entertaining responses to the now-viral thread, which garnered over 36,000 upvotes, and be sure to share your petty 'never dating this person' stories in the comment section below.

Here Are 30 Silly Yet Valid Reasons For Refusing To Date Someone As Shared In This Online Group I instantly noped out of an otherwise fine blind date when she ordered apple juice - off menu - at a fancy restaurant. 19-year-old me only knew apple juice as a toddler's drink, and I just couldn't get past it.

I'm no longer that petty. But I did make the mistake of mentioning this to my wife once, many years ago. And she now makes a habit of ordering apple juice whenever we're at a fancy restaurant, just to see if I squirm.

Me too and me neither. Isn’t astrology just like racism? Racism is the attempt to account for human diversity as though that diversity were *primarily* a matter of distinct biological varieties and genomes. If you substitute “the accidental day of your birth” for those racist criteria, then I frankly don’t detect a lot of daylight between these two pathetic and invidious frameworks.

Astrology is just a guide, not a rule book. I do astrology as a hobby. There are a lot of other factors than just your sun sign (mind). By knowing your time and place of birth, you can figure your moon sign (heart), non dominant traits, although still influential. Also, your rising sign (body), also a non dominant. It's mostly just fun to learn something new about yourself. I am fully aware it's a pseudo science. It has been around for 5000 years though.

I was raised as a fairly sheltered white kid in a very white American suburb. When i was around 20 i went on an okcupid date with a guy named Manuel, and although i had several valid reasons for not pursuing a third date, im ashamed to say that i distinctly recall feeling weird about the prospect of getting into a relationship with a guy named Manuel because it felt weird for me to pronounce his name. Yes, I was THAT sheltered.

Akmost 15 years later, after having lived the past 8 years of my life in a South Asian country, and 5 years into a committed relationship with a man from this country whose name as as far from white/western culture as it gets, I cringe so hard at the thought process I had at that time

I once left a date sitting in a restaurant because he kept dipping his fries in my ketchup. Let me explain: first date, we just met and went to a burger bar. We both ordered burgers and fries, and the ketchup was there on the table. I made a little puddle of ketchup on my plate and he just reached over and used it. Now, I come from a family of plate sharers, so it isn't like I am a germaphobe or anything, but I just met this dude, he reached across the table dragged his half-eaten fry across my plate. I pushed the bottle of ketchup towards him and told him to make his own puddle. He did it again. I told him I didn't like that and get his own ketchup. He did it a third time and winked at me. I grabbed my purse, put down enough cash to pay for my meal and walked out. It was the creepiest thing in the entire world and after being told it bothered me, he did it again.

I had a co-worker (who I never dated) a really long time ago who couldn't understand why he never had more than 1 or 2 dates with women. It was because any conversation with him couldn't be a regular conversation - literally anything a woman said to him was responded to in a sexual way. He turned everything into something pornographic. News. Weather. Work. Car trouble. Ex partner problems. Landlord issues. Problems paying bills. If you had a headache or any pain/illness, he suggested a sexual cure. I do give the guy credit, he never did that if children were mentioned. But wow, it was a major turn-off after 10 minutes for me, I cannot imagine how he got more than one date!

There's only a few things I notice right away in a person I'm just meeting. His hands, his fingers, his nails. Then eyes and a smile. And last but not least, the way he walks. Order doesn't matter, those few things matter to me. There's no way that in a year I wouldn't know the way my bf walks. Well, that's how I can single him out of a group of people from afar. :)

I said not this woman. I don't want to hear that you miss me and talk about nonsense. I don't have time for that c**p b/c I'm an adult, not some needy 16 year old. Shoot me a text once a day if you want, spend a few minutes on the phone in the evening when not at work. Then he got attitude and said I was bossy...dude, I am the boss. These people work for me. Don't call me between 8-6...better yet don't call me again.

Oh, I hate the clingy ones! I dated a guy that was off work on a disability, and he would be waiting in my driveway every. single. day. when I got home from work. And he never wanted to stay in for dinner, or any other meal - he only wanted to go out to a specific handful of restaurants, on a weekly rotation. Had to dump him after about 2 months. Then he showed up at my parents house, 40 miles away, with flowers for my mom & begged them to convince me to take him back. That was way over the line, & I had to get a bit hard with him. It was really kind of sad.

My reasons for rejecting someone on a dating app: 1. They say they are "fun, and live life to the fullest." NOPE. you are boring as f**k, I have zero doubts about it. 2. They say they are sapiosexual. NOPE. IF you have to say you are smart/attracted-to-smart you probably aren't. 3. They are kissing their dog. Sorry, not into sharing your mouth with your dog. Gross, but that's the fact. 4. They are posing with duckface/holding a fish/dead animal/gun/sports car. NOPE. That means you are superficial and do not think beyond the moment. Also almost certainly means Republican. 5. They say politics doesnt interest them. 6. They 'have a personal relationship with jesus'. NOPE, yall ALWAYS try convert me at some stage. 7. "Whites only". Nope, if you want to be a Nazi, there's the door.

Those people who texts you and answers with you "fine, yes, no" and that's all the chat. Also people who gives you the "seen" but if you do so they get mad😂😂😂

Most of these people are so petty their S/O's must be much better off without them.

You sound like you have a very peculiar set of priorities. I wonder if your sartorial aesthetics are 100% up to scratch as well?

Broke up with someone cause they were married. I knew she had a kid, and had met her. I thought the father was out of the picture. Should have realized something was up when she never let me go to her house. I thought it must be messy. Her husband was there

He had intimacy problems and then farted loud as hell during sex and continued laughing and making jokes about it until he left. Also broke up with a guy who said he had a pregnancy fetish.

100% the right call to leave, I wonder if he was deliberately testing your response to him ignoring your boundaries after you told him not to?

The only valid reason you need is simple. You just don’t want to. Easy.

Very few of these are "petty", they all are quite reasonable reasons for not wanting to date someone.
