Sivok Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Hey everyone, I was wondering what your biggest pet peeves on a first date are. You know, those things that make you wish that dreaded date was over. Here are a few of mine: 1) Excessive talk about exes (this annoys me overall, not just on a first date). 2) Complaining about their lives. 3) Speaking way too much and cutting off your sentences. What are some of yours?
terra Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 4) chewing with their mouth open 5) telling me their problems (not good first date talk) 6) talk of bodily functions
St. Nick Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 8) dating in general is my biggest pet peeve; just give me to cooch and it'll be all good.
lofi_tokyo Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 9) If we're out for dinner and our server asks us if we're ready to order, the person I'm out with answers yes, then proceeds to hem and haw over what they want. If you're ready you're ready, if you're not, let the poor server go to his/her other tables!
aerogurl87 Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 10) texting on their phone the whole time 11) always criticizing the staff (unless they really do do something stupid) On that note, with my ex boyfriend the last nail in the coffin on our relationship was when we went out the night I broke up with him. We were at the restaraunt and they handed us our plates. Because the steak was touching the mashed potatoes my ex threw this huge fit in the restaraunt. The manager ended up coming to our table because he caused such a scene. Then I had to listen to him bitch about it the whole night. *sigh*
DiDi123 Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 12) Talking incessantly about yourself 13) Not being remotely interested in me at all or what I have to say 14) Asking me one question after another without letting me answer in between- and if by chance I get to finish the answer- then not actually listening to what I have to say! lol......
hopesndreams Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Instead of having a conversation that flows naturally they ask point blank questions, out of the blue, for no reason, questions unrelated to what is going on at that time. Raising the eyebrows and a hand gesture to acknowledge that there is an uncomfortable silence, for him, and looking to me to do something about it.
Caramelize Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Talking too much. Cutting me off when I finally do get a chance to talk. If he takes over too much. Saying or gesturing anything narrow-minded is also no good (This happened to me Sat.) Also acting like I'm more like a prize than an actual person. If I am not treated like 50% give and take, then its finished.
CLC2008 Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 One time I went to a hockey game for a first date, he came to my workplace and we took my car (I drove) and a song was on the radio (it wasn't loud) but I liked it and was kind of singing too it...he goes to switch the station asking "if I mind he find a better song". It was cold out so I turn on my car heat and a few minutes later he shuts it off saying that he's hot We finally get to the hockey game and we're about to sit down, he cuts in front of me to sit and said "do you mind if I sit here...I like the aisle better"...and then goes to sit down! Not major things but he kinda seemed jerky too during the date so we just weren't jiving.
crfsti Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 When the other person doesn't show up to the blind date! This has happened twice in a row to me now
homersheineken Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Speaking way too much and cutting off your sentences. That's my biggest pet peeve. Continually interrupting me is the quickest way to say goodbye to me
sally4sara Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 I don't really have any particular dating peeves, each person I really didn't hit it off with owned their own little quirks that contributed to me fleeing the scene. Dude who spent the night telling me how women are suppose to be according to his views. Dude who let it be known on date two that he'd called a hooker to his house one night and she tried to rip him off without providing service so he shoved her out his door with a boot to the can. Dude who asked me if I'd ever or would I ever date a black man. Dude who crowed proudly that his ex would never get a dime of child support out of him. Dude who seemed to think every other guy in the place was giving him the stink eye and would flex and glare at them. About the only one I would say was a repeat mood killer was anytime I found out they were an alcoholic even if currently a dry one. Ex husband is a drunk and I just can't see myself getting back in that boat (any stage of that boat) ever again.
phineas Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 cell phone, cell phone, cell phone! I positively hate this. Even if it isn't a date, trying to talk to someone whose nose is in their cell phone is annoying. Giving me a blow by blow account of every guy you dated, how you met him, why you started dateing him, what went wrong, then telling me your still friends with all of them. ummmm. Buh-bye.
