    Showing up without telling then you’re coming.

    Like, it’s not my fault I’m not at home.

    public proposals. sometimes you can clearly tell the person who’s being proposed to is uncomfortable, especially if they dont accept the proposal. you just gotta read the room.

    Shower sex. Can’t stand it. Looks hot in the movies, dangerous and unrealistic in reality.

    Long walks on the beach.

    Proposing in front of a crowd. Even worse at a sporting event on the jumbotron.

    Long walks on the beach.

    The heat. The sun. The glare off the water. The sand that’s coarse and gets everywhere.

    Proposing on any holiday!

    Hey babe, here’s your Christmas gift. It’s a ring I could have given you next week, but then I’d have had to buy you another gift!

    Sex on the beach. Or sex in water.

    Going out for a “romantic dinner”. I personally rather enjoy a romantic dinner at home.

    Anything done conspicuously in public to seem romantic, e.g, public proposals, especially surprise flash mobs.

    The fighting/makeup sex cycle. Man, it’s exhausting.

    Sex on the beach. Sand, where you don’t want sand.

    Receiving flowers is not romantic, they die and dry up….

    Big weddings. You’ll be exhausted and stressed out by the end of the night.

    Involving food with sex.

    Chocolate sauce and whipped cream in crevices you never knew you had are not a good time.

    Spontaneous sex. Like damn I need a minute, and maybe a shower first

    Meeting and getting married shortly after. Even if you believe they are “the one” please get to know them in the dating phase.

    Putting the person you are attracted to on a pedestal.

    Obsession with the other person.

    Sharing earbuds. Movies make it look cute, but in real life it’s uncomfortable, awkward, and someone’s always getting yanked when they move.

    Vacations with your SO. It can be suffocating!

    Candle light dinner. Did it once. We almost burnt down our entire tablecloth. Perhaps we were far too careless xD But next time it’ll be an LED dinner

  34. Brutus_the_Bear_55 Avatar

    Where I live at least, going down to the docks to watch the sunset. Its only warm for a few months a year, water sprays up at you and theres too much going on around you. Houses on the beach throwing ragers, people stumbling out of the pubs and bars and doing wild shit. Other couples who had the same idea being miserable nearby. Just not fun.

    Moonlight walk along a deserted beach. SAND CRABS ARE EVERYWHERE!! We walked along and then turned on a flashlight to see those little shots running all over the place. LOL. THEY WERE THEN RUNNING AT THE LIGHT!! It was a hysterical but horrendous experience all at once.

    Singing to someone. It’s mostly awkward.

  37. bloomingoni0n Avatar

    Kissing with tongue. I’m not a fan.

    Sex on the beach. So much sand. The breeze usually is not as nice as you’d think on more intimate areas. Also peoples dogs may come running through the dunes right to where you are and they may try to follow the dog and you may wind up scrambling to roll yourself up in the blanket to avoid a very awkward and potentially criminal encounter. That’s super hypothetical of course.

    Gifting a pet. That’s a ton of responsibility to dump on someone, and even if they do want a pet they miss the special moment of picking it for themselves.

    Showering together- 1000% Either being drenched in the water stream or freezing cold. Never fun!

    Serenading. I had a first date serenade me once.

    I left the date feeling like he was going to try to wear my skin.

  42. VixenTraffic Avatar

    Absence. It doesn’t make the heart grow fonder.

    Long distant relationships aren’t great either.

  43. PeroniNinja84 Avatar

    Roses really smell like do do.

    Continuing to pursue someone after they rejected you. If I don’t want to date you and say no to a date, that’s not an invitation to keep flirting with me or pushing the issue.

  45. Bottlecollecter Avatar

    Pursuing someone after they say no or are already with someone else. Just creepy and wrong in real life.

    Stalking… & being very persistent.
