Among the possible deal-breakers they discuss are:
too much perfume/cologne
talking about a past relationship
a guy ordering an apple martini
woman who does the old "I'll have a salad" routine
body odor and/or bad breath
checking out the waiter/bartender
setting up the date via text message/e-mail
too much make-up/plastic hair
So what exactly are the very worst deal-breakers? Depends on whom you ask. Speaking for women, Nicole's top picks are :
guy that is down on his luck--pathetic!
guy that acts rude or cocky
guy that talks on his cell phone
And the top three for men, according to Ian:
woman who acts like she's interviewing a guy
woman trying to make over a guy
woman with restrictive eating habits (Do I look fat?)

Well, this last year, after being asked for weeks, I finally went out with a guy to a really nice restaurant, nice ambiance... and the first thing he started talking about was how his wife died, all the gorey details of the operation, being cut open and the ooze, etc. I literally almost threw up over my seafood. And I have a very high gag reflex. LOL! Talking about an ex- is bad on the first date, but this was morbid.
Wow! That sounds very cool... ;)
Gotta give credit to guys like that who have it figured out.
I always hated guys who thought my face was their personal ice cream cone. Lick, lick, lick, tongue, tongue, tongue. Posititvely gross.
I think that is amazingly romantic.
He wanted to show me what his life was like - with no pressure. I appreciated that.
Note to boy FReepers!
Have a plan - make it fun - no pressure and don't overplan. Leave time for the inevitable delays... etc.
No GROPING!
;-)
About 15+ years ago, I went on a first date with a guy on NYE. I had met him only once before. He was moderately attractive, nice enough, but no connection whatsoever. He treated me very nice, but we were out with a group of his friends, none of which, I knew. I felt so out of place the whole evening and couldnt' wait for midnight so I could ge the hell out!
I stuck it out a couple hours after midnight, miserably. Asked him to take me home. After he spent all that money, I felt obligated to kiss him goodnight. It was like kissing my grandmother. YUK!
Worst first date--he looked at my chest all through dinner and asked me to pass the "bra -- er -- bread."
Can we, ahem, "borrow" the original post to post on singles thread?
I had a date once, where she threw lye in my eyes and I was rendered permanently blind.
I never saw her again.
I think the problem is, you need to stop using whipped cream and sprinkles as makeup.
And lose the cherry on the tip of your nose.
gosh, you poor thing.
Could you please write that again, in braille?
Another faux pas is talking about the wife and how the marriage is over and the wifey is so mean and goes out with other men, etc. For some reason, I am in a pattern of meeting men in bad marriages. Do I look stupid or what!
Married men, stay the f... away from me!!! Warning! I am going to start carrying a laser stazer gun with me and zapping the next married guy that comes my way!
But tonight my Filipino jam buddy brought his three roommates with him - three professional Filipino singers - and we ended up doing the songs the other girls usually do. We are in deep kimchee, as we've been informed.
LOL!
Yeah, alllllways have your own ride. Out. of There. Backup escape Plan B.
Personal best was sailing, on a completely sunny October day, west. Under the Golden Gate Bridge. Silently slicing through the water.
Your buddy has three professional Philipino singers for roommates?
Dude. What are you complaining about?!?
A clent of mine is a Philipino anesthesiologist. She's rich, smoking hot and single. She was complaining to me and my associate about how she can't find a decent man. We are both happily married.
We just sat there for about ten seconds, slack jawed... then we came back to the real world. Afterward, we just kept saying 'you gotta be kidding me' over and over.
One thing I learned while living in Seattle is that there is a preponderance of infidelity and multiple divorces and children juggling compared to the Northeast (except NYC of course).
Given your profession, perhaps you should look into job openings at Aberdeen, MD.
The guy who shows up with beer, his kids AND his mother.
Ding Ding Ding...
We've got a winner!
