What is the most trivial reason you decided not to date someone?
These "astrology" girls are really something..
Great in the sack though.
That's a schizotypal personality disorder right there, Google it sometime
That's not petty or trivial. That's her waving a red flag for you to avoid her.
It's not trivial if someone's mind is more horseshit than grey matter.
I saw a commercial for a documentary about Crystals on Amazon Prime a few days ago.
I literally considered cancelling my Prime membership because the commercial was so god damn stupid and I can't believe anyone is peddling this shit as real.
Run away
If I were you I would've carried the wallet. Because as soon as you peered into that crystal ball the only thing it would tell you is that she sure as shit didn't have any money.
She had the same name as my daughter.
that's a mood killer for sure!
Yeah...
It was a real bummer. Because other than that, we had really good chemistry.
What was the pettiest reason you didn't date someone?
oof. that's rough buddy. that's when i would have told her we can date, but only if we come up with a nickname i will only ever refer to her as 😂 or her middle name is now her actual name.
Dam yeah I'm not gonna lie I get it. There was a girl in 12th grade I had a major crush on but she had the same name as my sister so it turned me off
Girl had the same name and hair color as my ex. I couldn’t get past the similarities and turned her down.
My buddy married a woman that has the same name as him mom. Now his wife and mother have the same first and last name
Just call her by a nick name, like boo boo kitty fuck.
A girl stopped dating me because I "talk too proper" 😑 I don't use a lot of slang when I talk, never have.
Indubitably
Pip pip, cheerio!
Kids used to make fun of me in middle school because I would type in proper words rather than bcuz or ttyl. I feel you.
What TTYL supposed to be?
Talk to you later, I think.
she had the same birthday as my ex. 365/366 chance to make it, and she was dead in the water
Just rename the calendar entry on your phone ...
He's got a type.
Hey hey! My ex gf and I had the same day 4 hrs apart, then I dated a woman with the day before. Then I married a woman with the day after!
One was a high talker. The other was a long talker.
Ever had a close talker?
With bad breath?
For me, it was teeth, and I know they can be fixed but who has money for dental work nowadays?!
I once had a date with someone who’s teeth were orange and rotting. Not yellow, orange. Found out she was a meth head later. I wondered why all her profile photos were closed mouth smiles.
Teeth really matter! Dude looked like Chris Hemsworth, and I thought I had hit the jackpot!
Really depends on if you mean like rotting disgusting teeth or Just fucked up teeth. My boyfriend has crooked teeth but he smiles so big anyways and it’s adorable. I’ll protect that smile with my life lol
Kept saying "its a mute point." I was in law school. Couldnt handle it.
Early on dating my GF she kept saying it was a "moo point". I don't think she ever watched Friends.
Did you ask her to be a silent partner?
There are no trivial reasons because all my standards are important.
I live in Austria
In my teenage years i did. My father was a painter and my younger brother is a GFX artist so theres def some talent in my bloodline :D
I am not related to THAT painter :-) i am a croatian living in austria
That’s the spirit
Amen brother
XBOX or PS5
PS5 or PC bro. Xbox is just a PC on crutches
Her sister was my good friend's girlfriend, and at the time I was kinda annoyed with him over a small matter, and so I wanted to opt-out of ever being his brother-in-law.
She said cold slaw instead of Cole slaw
He had no vacuum cleaner or a dishwashing sponge in the house.
I wouldn’t call that trivial
Thank you. It was symptomatic of bigger issues
Dang those hardwood floors and paper plates!!!!!!
She had the same first AND middle name as my sister. Couldn't do it.
She said she only likes black guys (I’m black btw)
Crazy how many just come out and say it 😭
All her photos were from one angle, straight ahead. This is common or common to pick one side then all her pics are from the same angle, but this was different. Turns out her nose was not only enormous, but she had broken it and let it heal without having it set properly, then was so insecure it was deceptive.
It seems so shallow but the lying, the hiding, the lack of medical care.. I just walked away.
Just curious, did she ever say what happened, or why she didn't get medical attention?
No I didn't find out what happened, wish her well and hope she found her person
Ah, yeah… I did something similar, but because she had a severe speech impediment. Shame, too, because she’s extremely pretty, but she waited until we’d been talking for a week to drop that tidbit of info the day before our first date before casually mentioning it.
I could barely understand anything she said, that’s how bad it was. •_•
I did still go on the date (it was a hiking date) and treated her nicely so she would have a good time, but I let her know I wasn’t interested in scheduling a follow-up date.
Yeah I get it man.. it's difficult but you have to be upfront about some of that stuff, even if it just saves everyones time and energy.
The thing as well is that they'll go on to find someone that doesn't care so it's all for the best.
Exactly
Oh no!!! This made my heart sad! 😢
Yeah I felt really sorry for her. I was confused why she had a lot of posts on social media about guys “leading her on” and “ghosting” her, and then I found out. It really is sad.
I dated a girl who was a few weeks pregnant (who didn’t tell me until a month later), and I dated her anyway bc I didn’t want to seem like an asshole. Dated her until a few weeks before she had the baby. I was in high school.
I also had a gf for a few years who has a blind lazy eye, and that didn’t really bother me too much, but also still felt bad for her bc she didn’t always have it. She got it from being bullied very badly, shoved into lockers, the whole nine yards.
Everyone has their limits, and inability to communicate properly is where I draw the line.
Yeah the lack of medical care would do it for me too.
Real dealbreaker.
More like nosebreaker.
I'll let myself out...
Take my like before you go
She didn't like Queen. Mumble rap was way better. So no thank you
But could she do the fandango?
No, but anyway, she wouldn't let me go.
Easy come, easy go.
To be fair, I gave my husband a chance in part because he was also a Metallica fan. I forgave him for also be in a U2 fan and he forgives me for not liking Van Halen. We needed the Metallica to bridge our differences. That was 28 years ago… music is important.
No ass. She literally had no ass.
A long back
It was basically a long back and a long ass. Meant there was close to no curvature on it and very stretched out fat and muscle.
I can deal with a lot of things. But if my booty grabs just holds bone. I just can't.
N tripple A
Not me not wanting to date someone, But once a girl who is 4'9" rejected me for being too short, for the record, I'm almost 5'9"
In retrospect, I found it kind of funny.
That IS funny!
She ate her peas one at a time.
Hi Jerry!
Okay, Jerry. :P
Not anything close to deal breaker.
She had man hands. The hands of a man.
Perhaps the only reason i ever decided to not date a girl was while during the talking period i met her family. Step dad was a crack head and her younger sister seemed to be real close with him. Like REALLY close... awkwardly close. Her other sister and theyre step brother shared a bed in their room. There was a few other weird red flags i was getting but cant remember them off the top of my head. I decided her family is too messed up and way more than i was willing to deal with so i called off the date we were supposed to go on and never heard from her again.
that's not trivial!
You dont think so? I kinda figured it was her situation that she couldnt help and was therefore "punished" for it. Unfair for sure but you may have a good point there.
We went out to dinner. We didn't get dessert, but he was raving all night about the cannollis. So he ordered 2 orders of the cannollis to go. So i open one box when we get to his house, and he's like "oh did you want some?" I guess you can go ahead and try one. I thought he had gotten an order for him and I to eat at his house later. Nope, he got them both for himself. And each order came with 4 cannollis. Mind you, he never once asked me if I also wanted an order of cannollis. I just assumed he ordered one for each of us. It was such a selfish act. Complete turn off. Dude was weird. He would also get up during a dinner date and use the bathroom. He would get up while I was talking mid sentence and not even say where he was going.
You dodged a real bullet there. Not trivial, fairly significant red flags.
A man that gate keeps what he considers godly cannolis is a true red flag.
I'm not a man but my friend decided not to date this girl because she was "too hot for him" and he had to be the hot one 😭
I met a really nice girl that I thought I was compatible with. We got along well, she was funny, smart, had a great job, but she had a very soft, undefined chin. I just thought it was not attractive at all.
She was from north Carolina and I didn't like the way she said "yous" to indicate you all.
It's yall
She might’ve been from NC but her family ain’t.
She moved to NC... That's some northeast shit.
That’s fair enough
She had BO. Like all the time
she got late like an hour to our first date, no message about it, no call telling me about it.
fuck that
Not trivial - that would make me crazy. So rude.
She wore animal print.
Breaking up because she wears one animal print pattern is trivial.
If she wears two different types of animal print at the same time, you are justified in your decision.
She had on a shirt i think. It was a long time ago.
When i was in my early 20s i decided that women who wear animal print are fucking nuts. It hasn't steered me wrong to date.
Which animal?
I got the ick with the way she bowled a bowling ball
Not everyone bowls so 🤷♀️ Last time I went bowling I did 90% gutterballs because I hadn't bowled before so I was shit at it. Everyone laughed, but I'm going again and with practice I hope to get better.
Haha nah I get that, I just couldn’t unsee it!
She skipped my songs in the spotify queue at her house party.
I've dated 4 people named Stephanie throughout my life. Not looking for a 5th.
Jobs: I don't want to date a masseuse, flight attendant, or a lawyer.
Grammar: Enough said.
Abbreviations: I believe it's a sign of class and maturity not to use terms like, "wyd, js, hru..."
"A real man--" Stop. I don't have time for you.
"Alphas--" Nope.
I've dated 4 people named Stephanie throughout my life.
we had 4 in my primary school class. Though I think it's now dipped in popularity since the mid 90s.
I never entirely got over my ex who first knew me, we kind a hit it off but he changed schools, dated a girl with the same name as me and when they broke up he reconnected with me through friends and ended up dating me. At least the girl he cheated with had a different name, otherwise I would have gotten real worried.
I was literally two sentences away from asking a woman out. I genuinely think I had a chance of at least a date. Then she started thrashing Weird Al. I love Weird Al a lot but if he's not someone's cup of tea that's fine. However she was trashing him like he was sex offender or some such thing. My mind went on several trains of thoughts of us dating and they all derailed instantly. So I decided against asking her.
That's how I feel about blippi.
Like you hate blippi or you wouldn't date someone who hated blippi?
They never saw lotr and had zero interest in ever seeing it. Monster
She didn't like cats and didn't like me riding motorcycle
I don’t find those trivial at all!
My ex had a motorcycle and I hated it, but he'd always make me ride on it with him. I feel like if he hadn't cheated twice it probably would have ended just because of the motorcycle alone.
Yeah I wouldn't date someone with a motorcycle. Too dangerous. I would be too anxious about their wellbeing and it's a question of when they'll get into an accident.
That's way more than trivial.
Bad punctuation.
How bad,?
She asked for ice cubes in her white wine.
Yes, I am a snob.
She had ugly hands.
I wanted to wait til marriage she didn't and kept trying to pressure me until I just felt uncomfortable around her and we weren't even dating just same friend group in high school
I dont think this is trivial at all
Thank you according to my friends at the time it was trivial and "gay to pass up sex, just do it man God will forgive you" their exact words so I was always confused whether I was weird or not.
Not at all, i hope you got some new friends. I think its admirable you stick up for what you believe
She mentioned Lin-Manuel Miranda like seven or eight times on our first (and only) date.
She didnt like my car. Literally got in and said "i dont like your car, you should sell it and get one like his" -points to friends beater chevy aveo-.
Context: first ever car i bought in 2012 and it was a 2011 jetta. For a kid at 24 i loved that car and was proud of it.
So told her to get out and ride with them instead and i left.
She watched One Piece. I'm a long time One Piece hater - hating One Piece for 21 years now - and I refuse to interact on an intimate level with One Piece watchers.
Damn. Guess we'll never make it, IssueCrazy, even if we both follow the one true king.
Respect
She liked Country music.
Real country music like johnny cash and hank williams or that modern shit that passes for country music these days?
Very much the modern shit. Cash & Hank I can appreciate.
Nose ring
I would also
I thought she was out of my league.
I thought that about my husband at first.
Guys really wont date a girl if he feels this? I thought he needs to feel this to pursue and be with a girl
Not exactly trivial, but I saw her father. He was a very model of the trailer park stereotype in the US. This was out and about, not on a date and they didn't see me.
on tinder I matched with a girl named Nana and she didn't understand the reference when I asked her "who shows up after you say your name 8 times"
She was a nurse.
In my area, they're especially notorious for being serial daters/cheaters. She confessed she would go on a date with a different guy every week. You do you, girl, but that's not my vibe.
She felt uncomfortable that I referred to myself as a foodie because she connotes it to fat shaming (which I do not do).
wait where did she get that connotation?? also slay that you don’t fat shame
I honestly don’t know. I didn’t ask… didn’t want to open that box lol…
I dumped my GF in High school because I wanted to date a senior. She was a year younger than me.
she was a bad kisser.
Not trivial
she brought her dog to every date without letting me know even when we hooked up the dog was at the end of the couch i was so uncomfortable lol
She didn’t know how to use chopsticks
Okay. There has got to be way more to this story.
You could teach her?
Zero interest in sex.
I'm not saying she was asexual, but when we had sex it was the most boring basic shit you can imagine. There was no sense of fun, exploration, curiosity and she had no interest in talking about sexual desires, drives, or dreams at all. I decided I could never have a serious relationship with someone who was that fundamentally disinterested in something that I consider one of my main sources of joy and creativity in life.
Sex is absolutely not trivial, mate!
I second this! Sex is a huge deal, not trivial at all. I couldn't date a guy because he had a kink I couldn't get past, and I’m pretty open-minded.
She pronounced a lot of words wrong and it drove me crazy.
Bad breath. And/or not that attracted to their scent.
Back in my college days, a really cute guy came up to me while I was out for a walk. He came up to me and asked me on a date. So date night came around and he tried to pick me up on a bicycle. Would’ve been cute if the bike had a seat on it but he asked me to rent a bike through an app.. Problem is idk how to ride a bike. Just went back upstairs 😂
They were an exact replica of my dead father. Same taste in music, same favourite sports teams, played the same position in high school football/baseball, had the same type of curly hair and was weirdly falling out alopecia style at the exact same age as my dad's did. It was all too bizarre for me, but we had good chemistry and he was kind of cute. Just couldn't overlook the fact that it felt like I was hanging around my dead father who was my best friend and favourite parent.
She sucked at Jeopardy
Correction: what is she sucked at Jeopardy?
Came back from a sun holiday with too many freckles.
yeah... a rule of thumb I developed during my time ballroom dancing was that if my nose is aligned below a guys armpit, he's too tall for me.
Both his first and last name was very feminine like I have female cousins with exact names :’))
My husband has a very feminine first name. People always assume he's a Mrs. and he hates it. He didn't have a choice in his name though so I don't judge.
Because her boobs came out at a nice dinner together XD
You have to say more than that, what?!
She literally wore something that she couldn't keep her boobs from coming out of her shirt, it was incredible yet embarrassing. She just wasn't the one for me lol
Can I have her number?
Should have told her we're not at that part of the date yet
The first thing she said to me was, “what is your five year plan?”
She said football was only a game
She said I read too much
She said I’m obsessed with making lists
Okay, you won!
She was kinda boring. Her conversation about trivial uninteresting things was a turn off. I realize now that I sound like a Seinfeld episode.
She had a kid
Sister of one of my best friends.
He said he did not care - but I did. Was good friends with his family - so did not want for things to get awkward.
She didn't like art
He's ex comes from the same country as me.
She smoked.
Bad breath... I don't know. It gets to me.
She lived too far away. Would have had to drive like 45 minutes to get to her place.
She called herself a "Bro". Sorry but I don't fuck bros.
He never tried coffee lol
She hates men. I am a man.
We had different political views. Never argued about it but it was obvious that it would be a problem later on, so we better stop before continuing.
She (jokingly) asked if I had dated my step-sister growing up (after being told that our parents got together when we were 4/5).
vegetarian, astrology, socialist or a body shape unable to go running and biking.
She got a burn on her lip from a chemical at work. It looked like herpes and it grossed me out.
She constantly talked about her "energies" not aligning with various everyday things, like foods, colors, and even parking spaces. Said she had to consult her astrological charts before deciding where we could go for dinner. Felt like I needed to carry a crystal ball rather than a wallet on our dates.
