I dated a guy who had repeatedly been burned by women and had only had one relationship his entire life. I almost instantaneously regretted dating him, because it was clear that he had no idea how to be in a relationship or take care of himself. He was also paranoid because of past bad datesContinue reading “The smell”

I once dated a guy who refused to eat garlic. Lesson learned: hatred of garlic is a HARD LIMIT. -L.V.

A guy who got my number from me at work (NEVER AGAIN) actually did call, scheduled a date, then showed up 3 hours late, with his lady “cousin” in tow. Everything had a very weird vibe and needless to say I did not get into that car. -C.N.

I dated a guy who said he hated Stevie Nicks!!! (And I remember in my head thinking, “oh you should dump him now.” But I didn’t.) Cut to several months later, while I was in the hospital, I found out he went to a Stevie Nicks concert with his ex-wife. -karenpuppy

Asked me “which Starbucks?” about four times, which I answered each time. Then, upon entering the correct Starbucks, grabbed my face and kissed me without any consent whatsoever. It was our first meeting. -C.F.
