![]() When I expressed concern over this (“whoa, what the fuck?!”) she told me that she had married her best friend when they turned 18 because, like, what even is marriage? It’s just a social construct, man. On the second date she casually mentioned her husband. She called me stupid for giving a homeless man $5. If there are too many red flags this will become apparent within a few dates and I decide to bail. As time goes your view of the situation clears up and you start seeing the problems. Sometimes you go into the first date blinded by desire, wishful thinking etc. Seemed good at first but it turned out I had to ignore or overlook too many little annoying things in order to enjoy my time with her. Sometimes the wishful thinking just wears off: She spent the entire weekend attached to me, kept calling dibs on my time, and even though I was kind of blowing her off, tried to have the relationship talk with me. I told her repeatedly that I wasn’t interested in a relationship, but against my better judgement, wound up sleeping with her. This old friend from high school asked to hang out and commiserate as friends, but wound up trying to turn the situation romantic. The clinger: After those last two dates, I publicly announced that I was taking a few months away from dating. When I got there she didn’t want the food, seemed to have no idea how to carry a conversation, and then started taking texts and phone calls. The awkward/disinterested one: We met on Tinder, and she asked me to come to her apartment with food. Then she texted me later, complaining that I didn’t ask to come home with her, and then got offended when I mentioned making out. The last straw: There was a lot of sex talk leading up to the first date, but when we actually met, she made it clear she was going home by herself, and while she did kiss me once, she didn’t do it a second time. The other, I had some logistics problems with my car that made it difficult for me to drive to her, and she both complained about that, and refused to drive to me, or even half way. I shaved before the first date, and she kept complaining about it. A couple that stand out, she didn’t like my beard. The complainer/controller: By the time the first date ended, she had made 15 different complaints about me, and insisted that she’d change me. This should go without saying, but don’t be a complainer. It helps if you vet the big dealbreakers before you meet:įound out she had a kid. Home country was different (I met her while visiting that country).Ĥ.She went through a recent break-up and didn’t feel ready to commit.Studying at a faraway college, and only visiting town every now and then.The following reasons were due to other issues, but the girls themselves were good: And there are some things that are out of your control: Fetishizing my Asian ethnicity (yes, it can happen to guys too).Ģ.Using her phone all the time during the date. ![]() Let’s take a walk down the hall of shame: There are some things that are totally in a woman’s control: Over on r/AskMen, some Reddit users started discussing the specific reasons why. This is why it’s overwhelmingly common for relationships to not progress past this period. Like, if you make it over that hurdle you’re in a different state of dating: it’s basically when you’ve had enough ‘get to know you’ time to decide if you really like each other. The third date often seems to be a *thing* in dating.
