What’s the pettiest reason you refused to date someone?

r/

Everyone has one. Mine was because he said ‘expresso’ instead of ‘espresso’ and I couldn’t unhear it. I’m sure there has to be some pettier (if that’s even a word) excuses than that.

    She had a high pitch sneeze that was like fucking fingernails on a chalkboard.

    Oy. Everyone I know pronounces it “expresso”. Maybe it’s a regional thing ? A lot of words aren’t pronounced as they’re spelled.

    Had coffee with a friend to see if anything was there, and he wouldn’t stop playing mobile games the entire time we talked.

    He kept calling me ‘Bru’. Like some shitty version of bro. I am female.

    She didn’t like “Pan’s Labyrinth”. We were walking out of the theater and I was enthralled with it and said i can’t wait for it to come out on dvd cuz I’ll rewatch it 100 times. She said she could never see it again and be alright. To which I said, “I don’t think this is gonna work.” It was an incredibly awkward drive to her house to drop her off lol

    His idea of a date was going to Tim Hortons, that’s like going to Dunkin Donuts for all you Americans out there

    Went to a movie. Accident in movie and the spleen had to be removed. Date leaned over to me and said, “oh my god, she’ll never walk again”.

    She used the term “those people” to describe anyone who wasn’t like her (white, middle class, college educated, etc)

    She was fat. The worst part is I found out she was going to ask me out and when I saw her approaching, I walked away to avoid her.

    She was of Italian descent, plus I just generally dislike interacting with people.

    Letting the sleeves of his blouse flap on a night out.

    Option one: wear them down, but button them.

    Option two: roll them up and leave them up

    Option three: don’t wear blouses. Choose other shirt styles.

    She dated a friend of mine in the past.

    Sorry, but there’s enough girls in the world to choose from, without having to choose one that my buddy has seen naked.

    I had the biggest unrequited crush on a guy all through middle and high school. He finally began to show interest in me, and during a conversation, he pronounced the word hammock, “ham hock.” Just like that, I was so very uninterested.

    I couldn’t stand the sound of him crying …

    Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind men crying at all, in fact.
    But the sound that came out of him just gave me ick.

    She called a cast recording a soundtrack

    When it was quiet I could hear him blinking. Who tf blinks so hard that it’s audible?

    She doesn’t treat animals well

    She doesn’t treat homeless people or children well either

    Come to think of it she seemed mean to almost everyone but me

    Probably dodged a bullet lol

    Oh jeeze, I am worse than Jerry and George combined. Yes I realize I am no prince charming and yes I realize I will likely die alone because of this. However I find that better than being with a women who has some physical or character fl;aw I find annoying.

    One woman I tried to date kept eating my fries. I offered to buy her a meal and she said no. She started eating my fries and I asked if she wanted an order of them and said no and kept eating mine.

    Another woman said she HATED Airplane! It’s one of my favorite movies of all time. I understand not liking it or not thinking it’s funny, but hate? 

    Finally, had someone tell me they hated Shakespeare and thought it was boring and stupid. I love Shakespeare and once wrote a thesis on Taming of the Shrew. Once again, not liking or understanding Shakespeare I get. But hate? Nah.

    This one girl used to exclusively text in super long paragraphs. Also called me “king” constantly, got super annoying after a while.

  25. Admirable-Rate487 Avatar

    Every text was just really overenthusiastic, like she texted the way a millennial game show host talks. I hate a dry texter but goddamn that doesn’t mean I need a monsoon in my life. In person it was nothing like that, really good vibes tbh but I could not get past that wall I’d have to face every time we weren’t together lmao

    He ate his yogurt with pineapple mixed in. After smacking that, he offered me a bite if his slimy pineapple. Was a nope for me.

    He put ‘hehehe’ at the end of all his texts.

    One – I didn’t like his surname. Second one – he had terrible handwriting.

    He paid our bill in 2 dollar bills

    He arrived wearing sandals after I told him I couldn’t stand sandals, sorry, it is a deal breaker for me lol

    Using too many emojis. Especially 😈😘😃😜😏🥵 it’s just sooo creepy

    Bad spelling.

    Occasional mistake, normal. Slang and abbreviations, cool. Dyslexic, fine. Borderline illiterate, nope.

    He kept saying how pretty his cousin is

    Her favorite movie was monster house. That movie scared the shit out of me as a kid.
