There are two sides to dating. On the one hand, it’s an exciting time when you meet new people, discover a lot about yourself, and get to grips with what you’re looking for in a long-term partner. On the other hand, it’s an exhausting hassle to find a potential partner when some folks are so picky they won't even give you a decent chance.
The members of one online community recently shared the weirdest reasons that other people stopped dating them, and they offered a glimpse into the more bizarre side of romance. We’ve collected some of the best stories. Scroll down to have a read on how ridiculous and silly some people's expectations can get! Hopefully, you’ve never experienced anything as ludicrous…

It wasn't a proper date, just a university classmate inviting me at his shared apartment for tea after both of us drank s****y tea at the bar. I knew him and accepted his invite, even if my friend checked on me every 15 minutes for safety reasons.
As soon as i arrived i had to use the toilet. I pooped big, then when i flushed the flush didn't work. Did i break it? I stepped on the toilet, half dead for the unbearable stench that no perfume could lessen. The flush had a small hook that was unhooked (i can't describe it better), so i fixed it and finally made that lovecraftian monster disappear in the deep of our sewer system. More perfume, i opened the window and washed my hands.
Nice tea, nice chat, we said goodbye on good terms and planned to see each other again. In the evening he called me. "What happened in the toilet?" "Well, you know i felt sick.." "no, i don't care. What did you do to the toilet?" "I suppose when i pushed the button a small hook got unhooked and i put it back in position. Did i break it?" "No, it has been broken for months and we used a bucket to flush" "well, now it works!" He went silent and the next day he didn't reply to my texts, i invited him for a drink and offered to bring a thermos of tea with 2 cups. Then he texted me *sorry i can't date you. I was supposed to date a female law student, not Gino the bricklayer* i wanted to send him an invoice for plumbing work but i gave up.
With a sentence, he proved to be sexist, bigoted, lazy and incapable of doing simple maintenance work.

Sexist, bigoted, lazy, incapable of doing simple maintenance, totally cool with going to a dumb extreme indefinitely rather than look for a real solution, irrational, and sensitive in his masculinity.

Wow. He was too stupid to figure out how to do a simple fix to make a toilet flush? Well, good riddance! (See what I did there?)

Isn't checking that the chain hasn't been unhooked one of the first things to check. Even if the hook is broken, it can easily be jury rigged with paperclips and the like.

Was explaining best practices for seizure first aid since I have epilepsy and it wasn't the best controlled for a bit so I found it was safest to be open quickly with it in case I dropped (don't like coming to with s**t being shoved in my mouth)...
And then he started praying over me in a language I didn't recognize, then apologized saying he can't date "the possessed" and left the table.
Couple waitresses and a busser witnessed the whole debacle, f**k the kitchen might've heard the "prayer". Nearly cried after the shock wore off, but everyone else was very nice and I got a free dessert for my trouble.

Free dessert AND the nutter took himself out of your life? Perfect date!
Marriage.com reports that in the United States, women are generally almost twice as likely to initiate breakups than men. Meanwhile, around 70% of straight, unmarried couples break up within the first year of dating.
After making up their minds, 42% of people wait a week before breaking up with their partner.
The fallout from breakups is considerable. A whopping 58% of people consider their breakups to be dramatic or messy. And nearly a fifth (19%) of Americans said that they’ve been ghosted by their (now ex) partners at the end of their long-term relationships. However, 71% of Americans admitted that they still stay in touch with their exes. 60% opened up that they still stalk their ex-partners on social media.

Mine happened last night. I don't drink alcohol. Just for the simple reason I don't like it. The date was great. Well, I thought it was.
A few minutes after I got home. He said he can't date a 40-year-old who orders a kid's drink. I ordered a strawberry lemonade. He said he wants to date an adult.
I know any reason is a good reason not to date someone. He has a right to his opinion.

Run. Run away quickly, before you get pushed off the edge of the earth.
Cheating is a huge red flag and, in most cases, leads to the end of the relationship. Around 85% of people’s relationships fall apart after one of the partners admits to having cheated on their significant other.
When it comes to marriages, around half of them end up in divorce, according to Marriage.com. However, Forbes notes that in reality, ‘only’ 43% of first marriages end up dissolved. Second marriages fall apart 60% of the time, while third marriages fare even worse on average, with 73% ending in divorce.

Back in high school a guy broke up with me because I told him I trusted him not to take advantage of me (after an accident b**b touch that was clearly accidental). Years later we spoke and he apologized, he was raised in an Uber Christian conservative household and me not being mad or shaming him was apparently too much at the time.

I was too nice for bringing her food when she was sick. (This was long before food delivery apps.)
Her rationale was: “I know that one day I’m just gonna hurt you. And you’re too nice to have that happen to you.”
Stung a bit, but hey i appreciate the honesty….also, maybe you should see a therapist??
Alexandra Nara 1 year ago
sounds like an attempt to get out without hurting you.. It's not you, it's me.. Been there done that 🙈
To be fair, it always takes more than one person to make any romantic entanglement work. If only one individual is ‘feeling it,’ then it’s a one-sided, unrequited relationship. So, if you do spot that your date annoys you or has too many red flags to continue anything with them, you shouldn’t feel guilty about breaking things off.
The alternative—seeing someone you can’t stand and pretending to like them—is far worse. Lying to yourself and to your date wouldn’t be fair. It’s good to have standards. There is a caveat, however.

I didn't wanna buy apartment with him after knowing him for 2 weeks 😂🙇🏼♀️
KnightOwl 1 year ago
Yeah I had a similar situation, I once dated a guy for 6 months despite being extremely freaked out when he told me he loved me and asked me to marry him, after only 2 weeks together. I told him to slow way down, reminded him that we barely knew each other and told him that I had no intention of ever getting married. He proposed at least a dozen more times but after he planned a huuge public proposal to try and trick me into changing my mind I was done.

On our first date, I asked him about his tattoos, and he told me one of them was based on the Nightmare Before Christmas, which was his absolute favorite movie. I told him I’ve never seen it, but always wanted to check it out. You would think the normal reaction to that is something like: “now I know what we can do for the next date”, but he later sent me a string of texts that this wasn’t going to work out.
He said he can’t be with someone who doesn’t like the same media as him. The Nightmare Before Christmas was a “very important movie to him” and he can’t be with someone who doesn’t share the same values. (??) Keep in mind, I had just never seen it. I didn’t even say that it was a bad movie, just that I wanted to watch it (with him).

She asked me if I was saving up to buy a house, to which I answered "no".
Within seconds the mood changed and we weren't compatible anymore.
As we parted ways, I told her the reason I wasn't saving to buy a house was because I already own one. It then became obvious that was indeed the reason for not wanting another date, but I knew enough.
There is such a thing as having standards that are too high, or rather, unrealistic. In other words, if you’re too picky about who you spend time with, you shouldn’t be surprised if you find yourself socially isolated and alone. There will never be someone out there for you who is your ‘perfect’ soulmate or 100% matches the idealized form of your partner you built up in your head.
But perfection is boring anyway. Someone’s flaws, quirks, and imperfections are a huge part of what makes a person truly unique. And if you can see yourself being okay with at least some of them, then that stranger you’re having a coffee date with might eventually become ‘your’ person in the future. The reality is that you won’t significantly change your partner into someone ‘better’ (aka more in line with your ideal) after you two start dating. If you can’t accept them for who they are now, it’ll only lead to frustration in the future.

Because I *don't" have BPD. Apparently, he "craves the excitement" of being with someone with a personality disorder, and being with his first girlfriend who didn't was just "too mainstream" for him.
If this wasn't odd enough, he was a therapist by profession. I do wonder slightly if that's how he's managed to meet so many women with personality disorders.
#14
After a date or two, we got to talking about food. His family doesn’t eat anything with garlic because his father has an aversion to it. I said I cook with it extensively, especially meats. Later he said he thought we were probably not very compatible due to our gastronomic differences.

I wanted to spend some time to myself. I'm not incredibly social and I honestly don't even like talking on the phone but I made a change to"open my mind." Yet I felt out of place face timing every second I could to please their needs. Was at the store on facetime talking out loud, driving on facetime,falling asleep on facetime, going on breaks and facetime. I just wanted to feel myself again and eat in private, watch anime and be able to pay attention, s**t even scroll YouTube to see what I've been missing. The second I said Id like to have some me time I got dumped so fast my head spinned. I was incredibly heartbroken and confused but now I think that person was a narcissist.

On the ride home from a date, he told me he couldn’t date me anymore because he would have to move to another town for work. I didnt say anything. Then he proceeded to tell me if he stayed in our town and had a relationship with me, he wouldnt be able to afford a dyson vacuum cleaner, he would only buy a phillips one. And that this was very important to him.

My best friend broke up with a sweet, successful, and funny man because he smelled like Tide detergent and his urethra was too large. I don’t know if she told him that but that’s what she told me.

I was a freshman in high school, he was a junior. We were in tons of extracurriculars together. He broke up with me after maybe a month of dating, during a theater rehearsal. He said his therapist said we should break up, and then he *ran away* from me. Literally, turned and full sprint ran away from me. In front of everyone. We'd been on maybe 2 dates and had "parked" a few times but we were dorky kids and definitely not in love or anything. If he hadn't been so dramatic about it, I probably wouldn't even still think about it, but it does bring me a chuckle every once in a while.

We got into an argument about communism and she (communist supporter) was adamant that I (critic of communism) didn't understand it well enough and was being narrow-minded about it.
The funny part is that she was born and raised in the UK and learned about it in books (incl. of course Marx/Engels' Communist Manifesto) while I had only grown up right next door to a communist country with grandparents that lived in and had to flee that country. But yeah... Maybe I wasn't open-minded enough about it.

The weirdest one for me was, " I can't be with someone that had her child/ dogs/ cats/ self vaccinated. Does not believe the earth is flat and disputes the safety and effectiveness of chiropractic care. " This was prior to the plague, so Anit Vax was big but not like it is now. The s*x was fantastic, which is why I continued to date him. I always thought of the dates as an unfortunate seminar before the cool main event. So when he broke it off, I felt like my ice cream slid off my cone. Both funny and disappointing. For extra fun, the next person I dated was in medical research. Flat Earth guy made it point to corner me at the farmers market to tell me scornfully how " disappointed " he was that " I learned nothing" from him and decided to date a scientist.

One night she wanted to cuddle after a party but I, while dealing with a kidney stone and medication for said stone, was not feeling well and wanted to just go home alone and go to sleep. This led to an accusation that I never cared about her in the first place which was false, but I was unwilling to engage in the argument and fuel a negative go-round. If you can't communicate with me in civility, you can't communicate with me, bye.

I know everyone's disgust factor (and triggers) vary, but it was an unfortunate reason to end an otherwise fun dynamic.

I had gone out on a few dates with this girl and things were going great! She even asked me out on the next date, She was all over me, and was texted me all night after the date. The next day she ended things because I “didn’t have my career in order” I work in sales and am projected to make a sizeable income this year, however, I did mention that I was considering going back to school because I hate the scummy side of sales and want to do something where I can help people (psychology)
I bet if I mentioned what I was projected to make she wouldn’t have left but I’m glad I didn’t. I feel like I dodged a bullet.

Because I “didn’t support his band.” Hooking them up with shows, connecting them with bookers, going to every show, selling merch, passing out flyers, filling their shows with my friends, and trying to get them in talks with my industry connections wasn’t enough support to counteract the fact that I didn’t vibe with their music genre.

Once I was going out with someone and when it got to about 10pm, she started panicking that she needed to be home for her parents (she was in her early 30s but still lived with her parents). As a joke I said 'oh no, you'll get grounded'. She broke up with me for saying that.
I could maybe understand if her reasoning had been that I was making fun of her. However, her actual reason was she genuinely believed that I thought she was going to get grounded if she didn't get home and she thought it was childish for someone my age to think people still get grounded as adults.

He broke up with me because I got him a Christmas present.
I made more money than he did and would pay for some of our dates or we would split things a lot of the time. About 4 months into dating, Christmas season rolled around and I mentioned I finally found him a gift while I was out getting gifts for my family. He told me that it was ridiculous that we would trade gifts after only dating a few months and that he hadn’t planned on buying me anything. He got pissed and basically told me that I was always “flaunting” my money and making him feel emasculated.
#53
A sock!!! Yes you read that correctly, a sock. He was over one day and was doing laundry while I was at work. I came home to a note on my bed either a man’s sock laying on it. Note read “I don’t date cheaters!” I called him and said it was my brothers. He said bull s**t and it’s over. For the record it was my brothers, as he at the time often crashed at my house when I picked him up drunk.
#54
In high school a girl dumped me because I ate a hamburger before a date and told her how delicious it was. Apparently she HATED hamburgers and the fact that I ate one before we went on a date and made out ended up grossing her out. I found about this secondhand from her friend because she didn’t really give me any reasons for why she broke up with me.
#55
He said it was because I didn't like country music or seafood. My mom was deathly allergic to seafood, so I didn't eat it. We were dating. I wasn't looking to be his twin. I told him any place has a salad or something besides seafood. I said, "You get your seafood, and I will get something else." He didn't know what to say. I am in my 50s, and he was in his 60s, so it's not like we were teens.

If she's that hardcore of a football fan it might really be a make or break thing for her. Not saying it's right, but like if she wants to throw parties and go to games on the regular and you're not into it that can be a major hobby of hers that you don't share. I don't want a partner I do EVERYTHING with but the things that are important to me I want someone who likes them to. I like ComicCon, love going with my husband. It would be sad if he didn't ever want to do that with me. I can see the frustration from OP and it's not the best reason to break up with someone, but it's by far not the worst either.

By third date of a guy i dated briefly, the week before senior year of high school began the guy told me he wouldn't continue dating me because he felt like he was a hobbit compared to me in terms of where we both stood athletically and the guy himself was equal height to me of 5 ft. 11 inches tall and I told him, "you are no hobbit, we are of equal height and stand as equals in our own athletics." the guy said he just didn't see it working and said it was over. By the time senior prom was going to be coming up he tried asking me to be his prom date and I told him after his negative attitude back at the beginning of the school year he can forget about taking me to prom and I turned him down.

We just started dating, got along really well, and had very similar types of humor. I was taking my train back home after a date and we were texting back and forth, making each other laugh. She texted a Simpsons joke and I wrote back "A Simpsons reference?! Marry me!", which was obviously a joke. She ghosted me and told her friend who was dating a friend of mine that she thought it weird that I'd say that or found it ridiculous that I'd propose or something to that effect...? I've never said anything serious about us since we just started dating and I wasn't overbearing or anything. I'm decently self-aware so went back through my texts and conversations and I wasn't ever overly serious or anything. I've been in plenty of relationships and, if anything, I'm more aloof than not since breakups kill me so I take it slower than I probably need to. For some reason, she just took it seriously. There wasn't any indication that we weren't good for each other, so it was just out of the blue.

I've just been dumbed for not having enough time for him. Which is valid, but juggling both work and uni at the same time took about all my time and I needed a few precious moments for myself too. And to sleep.

A girl said she couldn't keep dating me because I'm bisexual. She said she didn't want to deal with the inevitable fallout when I eventually cheated on her. She just assumed I'd be unfaithful. Not as uncommon a belief as I would like. :(

Oh Hun, I get this a lot too. Because you'll sleep with men and women that automatically means you'll sleep with anybody and everybody. 🤷🏿

All I see is a bunch of people lucky that red flags left their life.

She left be because I ignored her and treated her like a maid. She dodged a bullet and I learned a valuable lesson about how much an idiot I was being. We met up a few years later and I apologized.

I broke up with a guy (or more accurately neither of us initiated any further contact with the other) because he sang along to a song in the cinema whilst we were watching the movie 127 Hours

We just started dating, got along really well, and had very similar types of humor. I was taking my train back home after a date and we were texting back and forth, making each other laugh. She texted a Simpsons joke and I wrote back "A Simpsons reference?! Marry me!", which was obviously a joke. She ghosted me and told her friend who was dating a friend of mine that she thought it weird that I'd say that or found it ridiculous that I'd propose or something to that effect...? I've never said anything serious about us since we just started dating and I wasn't overbearing or anything. I'm decently self-aware so went back through my texts and conversations and I wasn't ever overly serious or anything. I've been in plenty of relationships and, if anything, I'm more aloof than not since breakups kill me so I take it slower than I probably need to. For some reason, she just took it seriously. There wasn't any indication that we weren't good for each other, so it was just out of the blue.
