    Man in white shirt smelling a glass of red wine, illustrating moments women got the worst ick from a guy. I had been seeing someone for a few weeks and we went to a nice steak restaurant. We decided to get a bottle of wine to share. He took a sip of the wine and a small amount trickled down the side of his glass. He slowly licked the glass from top to bottom with the whole of his tongue flatly pushed up against it. The whole time he was doing it (which felt like forever) his eyes were locked with me, once he finished licking, he winked at me. 🤮🤮
    There was no coming back after that.

    Man and young boy smiling while looking at a smartphone together, illustrating moments women got the worst ick from a guy. When I was single, I matched with a guy on Tinder, and within the first few exchanges, he was sending pictures of himself and his kid on Christmas opening gifts and saying how he's already told the kid about me. Immediate block.

    Woman eating pizza on couch looking disgusted, capturing a moment of the worst ick from a guy she can’t forget. He ate an entire pizza, which is fine. Not an issue. But then became very bloated to the point you could see his belly was distended through his shirt. Then kept doing those silent burps that stunk of grease and cheese. Then tried to kiss me.

    Young woman with headphones covering her mouth in shock, illustrating women's worst ick reactions from a guy. Went on a date with someone I worked with. Went back to his after, genuinely for coffee, definitely nothing more (I’d made that clear). Walked into the house and the dog smell was overpowering. You could cut the air with a knife and I ended up surreptitiously breathing through my mouth to avoid the smell. There was a layer of dog hair over everything. He then offered to show me his gun collection (were in the uk so not a common thing to have) so I made my excuses and ran.

    Man smiling while ordering at outdoor café with waitress taking notes, illustrating moments women got the worst ick from a guy. He told me that he likes shopping for designer gear.

    He told me that he is nice to waitresses as "It is likely to be the only good thing they will experience"

    He told me that he is married but separated and still living with his wife for the sake of the children because she is dying of cancer - he then said that he and his wife grew apart as "she's just no fun anymore" he was shocked when I didn't want to have another drink.

    Woman showing disgust while lying in bed next to laughing man, capturing worst ick moments from a guy. Oh heck... another one...

    Dated a guy, went away for a night together, first time
    I woke in the middle of the night and stirred and opened my eyes. He was propped up on his elbow just staring at me. And I said 'what are you doing'. He said he'd been staring at me all night because he didn't want to miss one minute of looking at me.

    Last date. And my gut feeling was right, he turned a bit stalker.

    I'd had a couple of really nice dates with this guy, so after our third date I went back to his. We get to his bedroom and I see that the duvet on his bed is pulled back and there is a towel laid out on top of the bed-sheet. He had pre-emptively put a towel down in anticipation before he'd left the house for our date. Immediate ick.

    Couple relaxing on a gray couch, woman smiling but experiencing the worst ick from a guy, showing tension despite closeness. I nodded off when feeling ill one afternoon on the sofa. Something woke me up and as I opened my eyes he was two inches from my face.
    I have never had such a reptilian brain immediate reaction before or since.

    Man sitting indoors, holding coffee and smartphone, appearing distracted with a subtle disinterest expression related to women ick moments. I remember seeing a guy for a little while who must’ve thought of himself as some sort of poet. He would always send me really long wordy texts. One that sticks in my mind was he had asked me what I’d been doing and I replied something about being outside and it being freezing cold. He replied oh how he longed to see my beautiful face, with cheeks blushed red like English roses 🤢

    Might sound romantic to some but it was just constant and I found it so over the top. Just thinking about it makes me want to puke right now.

    Man running outdoors in athletic wear, illustrating confidence despite moments women got the worst ick from a guy. Saw him running for a bus. It was the way he ran, hard to explain. It wasn't the reason for the breakup but it is actually seared on my retinas.

    After an average first date. We kissed. I was actually trying to get rid of him but he wouldn’t go, kept hovering, like a skinny giraffe with big teeth in a polyester blue v neck jumper, .. . I was thinking I can’t stand here awkwardly much longer, then he started aggressively licking and nibbling my top lip 👀🤢

    Young man holding a welcome sign and gesturing inside a doorway, related to women getting the worst ick from a guy. Oh, the one who always said 'Madame' on opening a car door. Nice gesture in itself, but the constant Madame-ing was a giant irritation. Even after I asked him to stop. He just could not help himself. Shame cos I really fancied him.

    The guy who cooked me dinner on our second date. A drop of sauce fell from my fork onto the table as I began eating (I know, what an animal) and he immediately jumped up to remove the plates and spot clean the tablecloth with stain remover.

    At the time I got the ick but now I think he sounds great 😂 he was just careful!

    Hand holding colorful pool noodles floating in clear water, evoking moments women got the worst ick from a guy. First holiday … boat trip where everyone is diving off the side or at least jumping in. He spent about 20 min wrapping those foam noodles around himself before gingerly going down the steps

    Went in for a kiss and he shoved his tongue in my mouth and whirled it round and round like a dishwasher spinning.

    And when we hugged, he was shorter than me, so I felt like I was his Mum cuddling her little boy.

    Shudder...

    ExDH and I were at a posh hotel breakfast, which was ordered from a menu rather than taken from a buffet. Rather than ordering one of the rather marvellous selection of breakfast dishes, ExDH asked the waitress if they had any Rice Krispies. Instant and irredeemable ick. The marriage didn’t survive the year.

    Confident man in dark suit pointing and smirking outside modern building, illustrating moments of worst ick from a guy. I was meeting another one and his bus passed me as I was walking. He was sat right at the back and saw me walking. He slowly turned his head round to look back at me and winked.

    I walked straight back home.
