Bad hygiene can be a horror in dating. I once had a date with a person who smelled really bad. It was so off - putting that I couldn't focus on the conversation at all. And it's not just about body odor, but also things like dirty nails or unkempt hair.
Over - possessiveness is also a big no - no. I had a date who started talking about future plans for us on the first date and got really angry when I said I just wanted to take things slow. It was really creepy. He texted me constantly after that first date even when I didn't reply.
One of the worst things is dishonesty. If someone lies about their age, job, or relationship status, it can turn a date into a horror story real fast.
For me, it would be finding out that the person you're on a date with is completely different from what they presented themselves as online. Maybe they used old pictures or lied about their job or interests. It just makes you feel deceived.
One thing is dishonesty. For example, if someone lies about their appearance or interests like in my previous story where the guy looked nothing like his picture and wasn't into fitness as he claimed. Another is bad behavior like being constantly on the phone during the date which shows lack of respect for the other person.
Well, once I went on a date with a guy I met online. He said he was into fitness, but when we met, he looked nothing like his pictures. He was really unkempt and smelled bad. He then spent the whole date talking about his ex - how she wronged him and all. It was so uncomfortable, and I couldn't wait to get away from him.
I once went on a date with a guy who seemed really nice online. But when we met in person, he wouldn't stop talking about himself the whole time. He didn't even ask me a single question about myself. It was like I was just there to listen to his monologue.
Well, once I went on a date with a guy. He seemed normal at first. But during the dinner, he started talking non - stop about his ex - girlfriends, comparing me to them all the time. It was so uncomfortable. I just wanted to leave right away.
Once I went on a date with a guy who seemed really nice at first. We met at a coffee shop. But then, throughout the date, he only talked about himself, his job, his achievements. He didn't ask me a single question about myself. It was like I was just an audience, not a person on a date with him.
One common element is misrepresentation. People often present themselves differently online than in real life. For example, they might use old or filtered photos, or lie about their job or hobbies.
One horror story is when someone met a date who looked nothing like their profile picture. It was really awkward and a total waste of time.
One really bad thing that can happen is getting into a cycle of overdrafts. You pay off one overdraft, but then another unexpected expense or miscalculation puts you back into overdraft again. This can be a never - ending cycle of debt and fees, and it can be extremely difficult to break free from.
For me, it's when you meet someone who has completely misrepresented themselves. Like they say they're single but actually they're in a relationship. It's a huge waste of time and can be really hurtful.
