I was dating this guy... We clicked like crazy. Our first date was like 8hrs long because of how well we were gelling. We went out and talked a lot for about three weeks.

That question still haunts me. He wasn’t ripped or anything, so it wasn’t about tempting me with his unsheathed pecs. 

Gotcha.

I won’t date anyone who’s favorite band is Oasis. My favorite band is Blur. And even though Damon and Noel are mates now I just can’t stand Oasis.

Petty for sure, but if the guy is wearing more jewelry then me, I am outta there. I am a minimalist with jewelry myself.

People do this ALL THE TIME in Seattle and I don’t get it. They’re all so bad at it! They’ll be blocking an entire parking garage while they maneuver their giant Lexus into a space backwards for like 5 minutes!

I was sucking on a Werther’s Original and I almost just died, thanks.

I had a varied dating history before marrying many years ago and dumped some dudes for some very pertinent reasons.

This one is easy: Treating servers\retail people\delivery people...anybody who serves the public...like personal servants to be insulted and abused. I don’t care how nice you may be to me. If you can’t treat another human being who is doing an often thankless job with common decency, that to me signals a serious…

A couple of years ago I ran through a string (3) of men that were unable to drive front facing into a parking slot. They backed into every slot. I questioned them and they said the same thing, “Makes for a quick get away.” All three turned out to be obsessive control freaks. Now if a man backs in, even one time, he’s…

Cruising in the passing lane.

Grad students. Early on I learned to weed them out of my online dating meet ups. No money or real world skills.  I usually just paid for my half the the drinks and GTFO.

I’d been on a couple very lovely dates with a lovely man. We were going to Netflix and Chill and went to a liquor store to grab some drinks before heading to my place. We split up to go pick out our respective drinks and he returned with.... Mike’s Hard Lemonade LIGHT. I feigned period cramps when we got back to my…

I introduced a guy I was dating to my Dad and we all went out to dinner. Within 15 minutes, they were finishing each other’s sentences. They ordered near-identical meals. I was squicked out when I realized how much he was like my Dad. I broke up with him soon after.

Dumped a guy over his heavy Boston accent. I just couldn’t handle the way he would talk during sex, saying “Oh my gawd, ya tits are ahwsome!”. It was like banging Ted.

I don’t buy that. I think she’s an unforgivable criminal but I don’t think -at her age -with his proclivities -because she has her own money anyway she expected/needed/wanted him to marry her. I think the she’d-do-anything-for-a-ring brush is one women above the age of 30 are painted with all the time when accused of…

Ad move it back onto the Pavement.
