Guys who try to grill me for contacts.

Seriously. I went on one date and it barely got past the "Hi, how are yous and what are you having for dinner?" before he launched into "So who do you work for? Do they need graphics designers? I'm out of work. Can you give me some contacts? I used to work for So-and-So, you know. Have you worked for [INSERT BIG NAME COMPANY HERE] because I'd really like to work for them. I can send you my CV. Can you introduce me?" etc, etc, etc.

You've never seen one woman chomp through her din-dins so fast and leg it straight out the door...

Chaps? Do NOT define me by my job. I am one fish of many in a fairly decent-sized pond. I do my job, I love my job, I love my clients, I will recommend friends to my clients provided they suit the client's requirements. Yes, I've worked in both TV and music, but I don't hang out with famous people, I'm an engineer. Nor can I get people freebies.

we were introduced by a mutual friend. while on our date, he asked me what i was doing the next day and i told him i was getting together with Liz, our friend. He then said "Okay, I guess I can let you do that"

He said WHAT???

Ye gawds...

haha yeah unfortunately i wish i was making that up but it definitely happened.

who says that??!?!?

deal breaker- bad kissers. i don't really have a rule about kissing on the first date. if it seems right, go for it. regardless of when you first kiss someone, if they turn out to be a bad kisser...they're most likely bad at everything else. buh-bye. no offense but i don't feel like teaching someone how to be a good kisser etc. "practice" elsewhere, thank you.



ps. Suge, that man is going to give me nightmares!!!

^ agreed

that's probably the number 1 reason i don't call back

and if they're old enough to be dating me..chances are they're not ever going to get any better at kissing..
but, more times than not..i think a lot of it is anatomy..large mouths on females for me is a no go and large tongues especially.

i don't like to feel my tongue is involved in a sumo-wrestling match inside her mouth.

-Talking/bitching about an ex is a big turn-off. Unless I have gotten to know this person quite well, doing this on a first (or even second date) is just not on.

- Complaining about anything: money/love/sexual or health problems.......God, I have had that happen over a beautiful dinner & I could not wait to get the Hell outta there! Talk about a mood-killer.

Once again "YES!" to the talking about exes: My recent ex was like that, it didn't bother me at first, cause she didn't talk about them in a high standard, more like telling me about bad dates or being treated poorly by an ex. One discussion is fine, but when it becomes a major topic for them, it makes them look like their whole lives have been nothing but dating and that's it, but it's also the baggage factor as well...shit, we've all had horrible relationships and dates, doesn't mean we're going to talk about them and wear them on our sleeve, especially on a date with somebody new, what is wrong with people?

And the Money/Love/Health problems, I've come across them, the health ones are really difficult, there's nothing wrong with having troubles and bouts with health, but when it becomes like a major sympathetic topic of discussion early on, it definitely kills the mood. I once picked up a date and she showed me around her apt and then when it came to her bathroom she pointed to her cabinet and said, "yeah, I take WAY TOO many pills...it's like a Pharmacy in there" *Sighs* now that's a way to my heartsmiling smiley

I just wonder if people actually understand what "1st Impressions" really means....

Since Heather reminded me, I'll add Bad Kissers, that's most definitely in the TOP 10 Deal Breakers!

This is all great material. If I would've listened to my inner-voice and what he/she (not sure of my inner voice's gender), was saying regarding that ominous first date, I would not be in the precarious situation I'm in.

Don't be me, guys. Seriously.

I agree with talking about money. I hate talking about money. The majority of people I know have financial problems including myself; I doubt you're a financial consultant so there's no need to know about it.
I've never dated someone with health problems so it's never been an issue for me. The last guy I went on a date with (the DMB freak who couldnt take a hint) actually came out one night that my friend and I were at the bar i think b/c he knew we would be there. Then he started saying how he had a cold or whatever, it's like , dude, if you're gonna complain about it then stay home! I don't want to be around your germs anyways.

the worst is when someone licks your entire face. sickening. also people who just sit there with their mouth open and do nothing.

It's been so long since I've been on a date, I'd have no clue what to actually do sad smiley

A few I can think of.
Cripplingly low self esteem. We all have our insecurities, but please don't make yours my problem (unfortunately, of late these seem to be the only kinds of people remotely interested in me, so I've been avoiding dating for a while & the foreseeable future)

"Mind games" are how you entertain a sociopath, NOT keep a prospective partner/relationship "interesting".

Do you think anything you DON'T say? If I wanted to catch every banal observation of your fellow diners, commuters, classmates, co-wprkers, etc; i'd follow you on twitter.

Personality conflicts happen, I can understand that. But is it actually impossible for you to relate to another woman? EVERY single female in your life is referred to as "that bitch" & no, you don't just "get along better with guys" see 1st point.

Shit, people can be irritating! (no wonder I'm single!)
