Let's add to the list:

--Using "bathroom humor"

--Chewing with his mouth open

- He shows up in a shirt monogrammed/silkscreened with his company's logo (up here in Microsoft country, you wouldn't believe how many guys I went on dates with showed up with MS shirts. It's just really lazy and shows they don't care much about their appearance...and that they don't apparently ever go anywhere nice that requires a non-logo t/shirt.
- He doesn't look at me when I'm talking, or he just looks around the room too much.
- He cancels, unless he's sick or it's a real emergency. Generally I wouldn't reschedule a first date, especially if he wants to cancel for a work-related reason. That's just a preview of what's to come.
- He answers his cell phone.

When I date, I'm generally looking for a partner so if he talks about his previous "relationships" and none of them are real relationships, just short term "ins and outs"..

or the "career goal" conversation starts out like "Well, right now I'm working at Taco Bell, but I'm in school studying philosophy blah blah..."

Philosophy? Really? :rolleyes:

or if the job before the Taco Hell one is pretty consistent with the current job, like Burger Slinger, Scrubway, etc. Basically he's not going anywhere, or really doesn't want to go anywhere.

Doesn't take my hobbies into consideration meaning he only likes talking about the things he enjoys doing and doesn't have or take an interest in my hobbies. I mean, I know my interests and hobbies are a little out there, but still...

Talks about his exes. Has a lot of exes etc...still friends with his exes...etc.

no second date, not with me.

Making any mention of where you're going to take me on our second date and/or inviting me to your cousin's wedding before we've even ordered appetizers. I'll pull one of those "I have to take a call" moves and not come back.

But you know what makes this thread so hilarious is some people on here fall under at least a few things people listed. That's what makes it SO funny. lol :p

*The cell phone is a definite no. If he's texting, I just say "I can wait" and won't continue the conversation until he puts it away.

*If he doesn't pull my chair out for me or open the door for me, it's usually a sign this is gonna go bad. I used to be offended at those gestures, but I find (in general) guys who do those things for me treat me better than guys who don't.

*If he smells like alcohol or smoke

*If he brings up his ex (unless, for some reason, I ask)

*If he has a gold tooth or a grill

*If I look at him and just start to feel nervous like I should stay alert around this guy.

*If I'm thinking in my head, "Man, I shaved my legs for this??"

:o

I can't believe no one said, "If she shows up pregnant..."

YES! I had a guy that I liked hurt my feelings doing this. He told me that I was acting White and the activities that I liked were those that "White people liked to do." The fool then told me that he would refer to me as "Crystal" from that point forward. I told him to enjoy his hobbies/interests alone. That's so rude. Ugh.

Prettyface08 05-20-2010 09:18 AM

*If he consumes too many alcoholic beverages
*If he stares at another woman (or man) while with me.
*If we're at dinner and he starts complaining about the prices on the menu.
*If he says he doesn't have any friends, or only has female friends OR he believes that men and women can't be friends
*If he tells sexual jokes or talks about sex at all.
*This may be weird BUT, if he refers to me as sexy instead of saying you look nice/cute/beautiful.
*If he's cheap...expecially with himself!
*If he tries to kiss me.
*If he has a wet mouth.

DaemonSeid 05-20-2010 09:33 AM
