40 Weird, Yet Understandable Situations After Which People Realized They Should Stop Dating Someone
For some dating is an important thing in life. And it doesn’t matter if you consider yourself a dating guru or if you agree to go out once in a blue moon. I guess the very fact of it makes us all feel pretty much the same: jitters and excitement before the date or total disappointment afterwards. Let’s agree that beautiful and promising date stories should be left to be discussed with your best friends. But where to put the distress and disbelieve that was brought by these other awful dates?
This time, for this particular reason, Reddit asked its community to share the pettiest reasons why its users refused to give a second chance to their date. People opened their hearts and gave some interesting, never heard answers, as well as common reasons that we all probably encountered through our dating experience.
Can you relate to any of these situations? Or maybe you have an even better story of why you couldn’t say “yes” to a second date? Share your thoughts and "best" experiences in the comments!

She was a volunteer at the Zoo and when kids asked her questions she didn’t know the answer to, she would make something up and lie.
Growing up on zoobooks and Steve Irwin, I take animal facts very seriously.

He was wearing a hideous brown fake leather jacket, it was so old that the ‘leather’ had started to flake off and parts were just now canvas.
He kept stopping to look at himself in windows and saying ‘oh god I look so hot today’ ‘I just can’t believe how hot I look’ smoothing down his manky jacket, side eyeing me, expecting me to agree with him.
I left so he could be alone with his jacket.

She didn't know that foxes were real animals. She thought they were mythical and just in movies.
#5
A very attractive, fun, smart woman asked me if I wanted to go get ice cream with her. I turned her down but I guess in a way that she felt was flirty, so she kept asking. And finally I had to tell her I was turning her down because she had both my mother's first and last name. She laughed a lot and agreed we couldn't date.
#6
Her complete inability to follow the plot of a movie.
“Who’s that?”
“Where’d he come from?”
“Why’d she do that?”
“Who is he again?”
I just couldn’t.

My mom stopped dating a guy because he unfastened and refastened the velcro on his shoes throughout an entire movie.

On the first and only date - she chewed her food with her mouth open - it was so distracting I couldn’t bear it.
#9
Went on a first date to the movies. This f@#%!g guy...instead of picking up his drink and lifting the straw to his mouth, he would put his hands on his knees, keeping his eyes on the screen, and lean over to the drink and ‘hunt’ for the straw with his face and his mouth contorted sideways trying to land on the straw. Weirdest s#@t ever.
#10
He didn’t re-rack his weights. I will never, for the life of me, understand why people don’t return/re-rack their weights.
#11
I couldn't date a guy because my brother pointed out that he looks EXACTLY like my uncle. I couldn't unsee it because it was absolutely true.
#12
During s*x, she would close her eyes and frown in concentration. Once my brain made the connection that she looked like Sam the Eagle from the Muppets, it was over for me.
#13
He stared at me blankly when I said the word "republican" when describing one of my family members. I followed up and sure enough, he literally had no idea what the word republican meant and didn't know about our largely two-party system. He was in his late 20's. If you're not into politics, that's one thing, but he had managed to live nearly three decades in our country without knowing basic information about our political system. My brain could not comprehend and I worried about what other basic information he had managed to avoid was. 'Twas a hard no on my end.

i'm not really sure what a republican is either. i know there are democrats and liberals and other political words for certain groups but dont know the difference of any of them. i just know they exist.

She kept using the word "Redonkulous" in normal conversation. I felt my soul dying every time I heard it.
#15
When I found out that he thought lemons were unripened oranges.

I went out on a few dates with a guy that I had been really into for months. I was starting to realize he wasnt the brightest bulb in the room. Then one day he said he liked watching commercials on TV and that was that.
#17
Not me, but someone refusing to date me because, “it’s weird you don’t have Instagram.”
#18
His name was Mario and he was a plumber. I just couldn't.
#19
She would insist on a job interview level of formality whenever we talked.
Edit:
For those asking for examples, the first time I asked her to my place went like this:
Me: So do you want to take this back to my place?
Her: Is this an invitation for intercourse?
Me: ... yes... it is...
Her: Please ask again properly please.

He would call me his "beautiful angle". He really didn't know how to spell angel so for 5 months I put up with being an angle.
Also dated a guy who wanted to put a singlewide trailer on his parent's front lawn and thought I was unreasonable for not wanting to move in with him once he did so.

She was super hot, but she smelled. I dunno if she didn't shower or use deodorant, but she just smelled funky. I couldn't do it. My best girl friend at the time was like, "just tell her". How do you tell a girl you've known for a few weeks that she smells bad?!?! So I just stopped talking to her. Brilliant.
Brandi VanSteenwyk 3 years ago
Such and awkward situation. And unfortunately not that uncommon. My 22 year old son has encountered the exact scenario and came to me for advice on what to do because he really liked the girl. All I could come up with was offering to shower TOGETHER frequently.
#22
All The Words In Every Text He Sent Were Capitalised. Trust Me, It Got ANNOYING.
#23
Everytime I touched her, I would smell of egg. Like holding hands, egg.. Hug her, my shirt would smell of egg.
Strangest bit was, she didn't smell like that whatsoever.
Also, when I broke it off, the egg smelling stopped. So IDK.

He was awful in a trivia game we were playing. I mean, really bad, like it was his first day pretending to be a human on Earth and the aliens hadn’t briefed him sufficiently.

#25
One word replies, literally no effort at all, felt like I was writing a monologue.
#26
Every time I took a bite of food he asked me a question, after which he stared at me while I finished chewing. The date went on like this for an hour, he had a supernatural sense of poor timing.
#27
He wore a Bluetooth piece in his ear. The constant blue light blinking from the side of his head was too much for me. Another guy would text “dame” instead of “damn”. It wasn’t a typo either, it was every time.

They did that thing where they inflect their voice upwards at the end of everything they say as if it were a question.
After about 10 minutes talking to them I was completely done.

When I was growing up in California, that was normal, especially among the younger folks. I haven't lived there for a few decades, but I recently was on a conference call with members from California, and one of the speakers (who was a recent college graduate) used that inflection, so I guess it's is still alive.
#29
I was the receiver of the petty reason, not the giver. When I was in college, a girl wouldn't go on a second date with me because my dorm room was too clean.
(edit to add: what I got told by a mutual friend was that because my room was clean, it had to mean that I was gay so she wouldn't date me).
#30
He tried to say what I was saying... as in at the same time. He started mouthing it and then slowly including more and more voice. I would stop talking and start again.... he mimicked the whole time.

That's a genuine thing - can't remember the name of it now, but it's not mocking or p1ss-taking (giving the benefit of the doubt in this case) and people who do it are often unaware that they are doing it. ETA: it's either Echolalia or Palilalia and is in the same class as Tourettes, in that it's a complex verbal tic.
T W 3 years ago
It's Echolalia: a psychological condition that is a symptom on the autism spectrum. People who do this are usually very smart, a bit introverted, and have a sensory need to reform the words that they hear with their own mouths in order to fully process their meaning.

He said he'd do a full health check on any pets I had. I was pretty peeved at the implication that I might not be caring for them. Also, he wasn't a vet.

She kept using the chick emoji when she texted and said "hewwo" instead of hello. Her face resembled a chick as well. And I couldn't unsee that.

She lived across the bridge and i hate going across the bridge.
Edit. Didnt expect this to blow up. Its the bay bridge in the SF area. I live in oakland. For me to date a girl in the city itll take me an hour to get there an hour home. All of this after working all day. Just not some id want to do unless i was super into someone, whoch ironically id never know since, the bridge. TBH it wouldn't have been fair to her either.
Side note more than a decade later im married to a girl from the other side of the bridge so you could say "i got over it".

Everything was going great, thought she was an amazing girl and we'd been seeing each other for two months. Go to her house for the first time and it was a little messy, but nothing to write home about. Then I go to the bathroom and put up the toilet seat... I don't think she'd ever cleaned the bottom of the toilet seat given how disgusting it was. From then on, the only thing I could think about when talking or being with her was that disgusting toilet seat.
Thorfin Wolfsbane 3 years ago
Pretty sure she’d never actually lifted the toilet seat ever before.

She once wanted a burger without chips. I wanted one with chips. She ate all of my chips. Her reason was that because I wasn't eating my chips because I didn't want them. I asked her if I didn't want then why did I order them?

I still don‘t know if she was exceptional stupid or tried to keep the conversation going and was just really bad at it.

I once left a guy in a restaurant, mid-date, because he would not stop dipping his fries in my ketchup. We went to a burger place and I had put ketchup on my plate for dipping the fries and he kept dragging his bitten fries across my plate to use my ketchup. The bottle was on the table, he could have put some on his own plate, but nope, even after I asked him not to do that, even after I stopped eating and pushed my plate away, he kept sticking his half-eaten fries in my plate and dragging them through my ketchup. I threw $10 on the table to cover my burger and walked out.

Double-dipping on the first date? definite deal breaker. Scientists have analyzed bacterial growth due to double dipping. They substituted sterilized water for dip. They single-dipped in the first glass; double-dipped in the second. They found significantly higher levels of bacteria (1,000 more per milliliter) in the water after double-dipping had occurred. One scientist said, "I suppose if you don't mind French kissing every person in the room, that might be okay."

I went on a date with a guy and while holding hands, he would squeeze my hand really hard. Our fingers were interlaced and he would squeeze my fingers until they hurt. I would tell him it hurt and he would laugh, relax his hand and then do it again a few minutes later. I never returned his calls or saw him again.
IlovemydogShilo 3 years ago
On the first and only date with this man he asked me if was good with children, cooking, cleaning and other general housework. He also told me how lucky I was to have him this particular night as he usually spends his night down in his local pub since his wife left him with 3 kids ages 3, 5 and 7. He said he usually gets his mother to babysit but she's retiring soon and moving away. I soon left and blocked all contact. He didn't want a girlfriend, he wanted a live in Nanny and house keeper. I don't plan to be either.

Guy I dated was dumped by his ex and he very much wanted to get back with her. He told me... repeatedly... Said that if she asked him to come back, he would say yes, while we were on a date. Told him the next day to go talk to her and get back together. Few hours later he wanted to take a walk and told me he talked and they were getting back together. Looked at me, anticipating me crying or something and I was just confused why he wanted that walk and tell me. Since I told him to go back to her, I figured it was clear I wanted to break up? He was disappointed I didn’t care :D

I started dating this man and the very first sentence that came out of his mouth I knew he was the dumbest man I had ever met. Still, I was new in town, he was ruggedly handsome. I had to call it quits when we were playing a game of Blackjack and I said "hit me" and he looked dumbfounded and said "I would never hit you baby"...the entire table burst laughing because he was 100% serious. I thought he was sweet but just way too dumb. Plus he lied about everything...even his name!?

I was on a first date at a restaurant, and it was one of these all you can eat buffets. Ok I get the whole all you can eat part but he kept piling the plate with things which he'd ended up wasting and getting a new plate of different food. He then found the bbq chicken wings, he used his hands to eat them which is fair enough, but he then just picked up his cutlery to eat something else, with bbq sauce all over his hands, didn't even bother wiping them. He then tried to grab my hand and kiss me with the sauce all over his face. Eurgh. I made my excuses not to see him again after that night. Grim.

He was a sweet, handsome, well educated and newly appointed Assistant DA. He passed the bar, but couldn't properly speak to save himself. His atrocious grammar killed all credibility. He wouldn't stop saying things like "Wal-Mark", "Irregardless", and after an afternoon of listening to him ask garage sale owners, "Is this item for sell?" (The words 'sale' and 'sell' are interchangeable in his world) I thought I was done, but then came the straw that broke my back... "I done seen your brother last weekend. Do we have to go camping with him this weekend?" This man has a law degree! He graduated top of his class at Princeton! His job is literally public speaking! His communication skills should be more advanced!

Forth lunch date and I took him to a vegan restaurant because I am a vegetarian and wanted some variety to choose from. ( he knew I was a strict vegetarian when we met) He happily agreed to go to the vegan place. He turned into a whinny 5 year old and complained about the menu and refused to order. After the server making numerous suggestions he LOUDLY complained " I can't eat any of this fake meat s**t. It just does not have the taste and texture of the real thing. I need real meat" Every person in this tiny Vegan restaurant turned to us with murder in their eyes. I was incredibly embarrassed but also very hungry. I ordered for myself and told him he could order or not but I was there to eat. I ate my meal while he watched and pouted like a child. As soon as we hit the side walk I dumped him. Pathetically he was shocked and could not understand why.

Several things happened on a first date that were relationship enders: She kept watching through the front windows and out the open front door for something. She stopped several times to go over and look. She said that her most recent ex was still stalking her, and would have a problem with it if he knew I was in her apartment; I noticed that all her furniture was new and matched. She said that the insurance replaced everything after the fire. She said one of her ex-boyfriends had thrown a lit can of gasoline through the bedroom window while she was sleeping. It burned up all her stuff. She said not to worry about it because the guy who did it was still on the run and was never caught. I had to park on the other side of the apartments where a shopping center was. There was a dance club there making lots of loud dance music. She went over to the door and laid hands on the door frame. She spent a couple of minutes praying & casting out the devils. Yeek! TRUE STORIES ALL!!!

When I was in my late teens, I was friends with a girl named Marie. She was dating a super nice guy that she really seemed to like, but eventually broke up with him. Why? Because his name was Don and she didn't want to be known as "Donny and Marie." So petty, but in retrospect I think he dodged a bullet there.

Met a guy back before the internet, using the newspaper personal ads. We wrote back and forth and then set up a date. He brought a friend for my friend, and we went to a local country bar. First red flag was his complaint that I spent too much time talking to a male bartender. Then, a few drinks in he revealed he had just moved to my Province after getting out of prison in another province. By the end of that first and last date, I caught him and my friend playing tonsil hockey in my kitchen. Yah, that was a nightmare.

I was set up on a blind date by a friend and the girl kept checking out other guys and trying to drag me into it by saying things like "Wow! He has a nice bum!" and "I bet he would look hot naked" so end of the date I said goodnight, no kiss, and didn't set another date up. My friend asked why a few days later and I told her. She said "Really? Now we know why she keeps lucking out with guys" She passed on the message as a friend to friend epiphany. Last I heard she sorted that out and is now married to a wonderful guy and on the wedding day, at the altar, she walked down the aisle and checked out the best man and said in a theatrical voice "He's got a nice bum! I bet he is a right goer!" and threw a thumbs up at him. Luckily everyone knew about her past mistake and it was a running joke now. So glad she finally found someone awesome

I once dated someone for a few months. I knew he wasn't the brightest spark, but I was trying to get back into dating after a long absence. He was out with my whole family at a nice brunch and the topic of birdwatching came up (my father was a fanatic) and papa mentioned seeing woodpeckers. My boyfriend audibly gasped and said he'd never seen one in real life, but that he was kinda scared because they were so big. How big do you think they are, I asked? Six feet tall, he said. (182cm). I was unable to hold on much longer after that.

We were apparently in an open relationship. She had a side gig and I was pretty good friends with him. All until we both realized that she had been pregnant with someone else entirely and neither of the two of us knew. That's a little too much non-information. Haven't spoken to either of them since. Ended up in another open relationship, and suffice it to say it's much healthier, more trusting and communicative. Granted, relationship #1 was also super unhealthy for other reasons to begin with.

Several things happened on a first date that were relationship enders: She kept watching through the front windows and out the open front door for something. She stopped several times to go over and look. She said that her most recent ex was still stalking her, and would have a problem with it if he knew I was in her apartment; I noticed that all her furniture was new and matched. She said that the insurance replaced everything after the fire. She said one of her ex-boyfriends had thrown a lit can of gasoline through the bedroom window while she was sleeping. It burned up all her stuff. She said not to worry about it because the guy who did it was still on the run and was never caught. I had to park on the other side of the apartments where a shopping center was. There was a dance club there making lots of loud dance music. She went over to the door and laid hands on the door frame. She spent a couple of minutes praying & casting out the devils. Yeek! TRUE STORIES ALL!!!

I have had a crazy life, but at least I can say it was never boring.

When I was in my late teens, I was friends with a girl named Marie. She was dating a super nice guy that she really seemed to like, but eventually broke up with him. Why? Because his name was Don and she didn't want to be known as "Donny and Marie." So petty, but in retrospect I think he dodged a bullet there.

Met a guy back before the internet, using the newspaper personal ads. We wrote back and forth and then set up a date. He brought a friend for my friend, and we went to a local country bar. First red flag was his complaint that I spent too much time talking to a male bartender. Then, a few drinks in he revealed he had just moved to my Province after getting out of prison in another province. By the end of that first and last date, I caught him and my friend playing tonsil hockey in my kitchen. Yah, that was a nightmare.

My date asked "how do you mean cheese comes from animals"? She was soooo pretty though.

I was set up on a blind date by a friend and the girl kept checking out other guys and trying to drag me into it by saying things like "Wow! He has a nice bum!" and "I bet he would look hot naked" so end of the date I said goodnight, no kiss, and didn't set another date up. My friend asked why a few days later and I told her. She said "Really? Now we know why she keeps lucking out with guys" She passed on the message as a friend to friend epiphany. Last I heard she sorted that out and is now married to a wonderful guy and on the wedding day, at the altar, she walked down the aisle and checked out the best man and said in a theatrical voice "He's got a nice bum! I bet he is a right goer!" and threw a thumbs up at him. Luckily everyone knew about her past mistake and it was a running joke now. So glad she finally found someone awesome

I once dated someone for a few months. I knew he wasn't the brightest spark, but I was trying to get back into dating after a long absence. He was out with my whole family at a nice brunch and the topic of birdwatching came up (my father was a fanatic) and papa mentioned seeing woodpeckers. My boyfriend audibly gasped and said he'd never seen one in real life, but that he was kinda scared because they were so big. How big do you think they are, I asked? Six feet tall, he said. (182cm). I was unable to hold on much longer after that.

Guy I knew from church was really a nice person. Friendly and we got along. He wanted to date me but I just couldn't go there. He looked just like Santa and was one of those Mall Santa's for the holidays. No.... just not into getting physical with Santa. Just couldn't.

We were apparently in an open relationship. She had a side gig and I was pretty good friends with him. All until we both realized that she had been pregnant with someone else entirely and neither of the two of us knew. That's a little too much non-information. Haven't spoken to either of them since. Ended up in another open relationship, and suffice it to say it's much healthier, more trusting and communicative. Granted, relationship #1 was also super unhealthy for other reasons to begin with.
