42 Hilariously Honest Reasons People Instantly Knew Romance Was Off The Table

Someone with a really long pointed nail only on one or two fingers. I met a nice guy afew years ago, he had this one long pointed nail on one little finger. Whenever we were talking, I keep looking at that finger nail. I know it's silly but it irrate me so much.

I once went on a date with girl who told me she doesn't eat vegetables. Completely lost interest in her after that.

I once lost interest in a guy because I saw him ironing his socks. The chasm was too great even if he did look like Wes Bentley and Johnny Knoxville's love child.

I was on a date once and it was going well until we started talking about comedy and he said, fully serious, “I hate comedy.” Confused, I asked him to clarify if he meant certain types of comedy. He said no, all comedy.

I asked him to take me home after I sat dumbfounded for a moment.

Edit: holy hell I did not expect anyone to even read my comment, much less this much response.

Edit 2: When I said I clarified about certain types of comedy, he essentially told me all comedy. I've mentioned this in a few replies now (sorry I was asleep >

Having a strong opinion on pineapple on pizza. It's getting old, let people enjoy things.

If you think **'s** is how you pluralize everything, we aren't going to work out.

I feel like I’m gonna get downvoted into the abyss for this - but I don’t want a dog. It’s a lot of responsibility. I don’t want to pick up your dog’s poo, be responsible for it peeing, can’t go on dates without it etc. Especially if it’s a big part of their life - full on Instagram page for their dog etc. Red flag.

Interested in horoscopes.

Indecisiveness ruins the vibe for me. Taking ages for picking their food, second guessing decisions, overall not daring to be a person.

Dating a white guy and he showed up one night and his hair looked weird. He was trying to start growing dreadlocks. Nope.

Hints, i think.

If you're the kind of person who cannot say what you mean and you (for some reason) need to communicate through hints then i am going to ignore you. I don't mean that im gonna miss the hints (though that can happen too) i mean i'm going to ignore you until you feel comfortable enough to speak up for yourself. And if you're the kind of person who's decided on trying to communicate through the ether as a way of life then we're not going to work out. I've already been through it, you're just gonna get bitter and angry and end up trying to hurt my feelings somehow and it's not ever going to make sense to me. It's just going to be, from my point of view, a random act of violence/aggression so we're gonna need to break up, which yes i know isn't what you wanted but you wanted me to pay attention to you and you choose hostility instead of using your words.

*flirting not included.

If you can hear that all their stock things they say come from what's currently the prevailing slang on TikTok/Instagram Reels.

If they don’t like to stay up late, I don’t want to spend forever annoying someone being up later than them.

Wont have a candle light dinner with me. I brought candles and all on a late night picnic we planned.

They don’t like Lord of the Rings.

Having a second toe that's longer than their big toe, it freaks me out. Fun fact my husband's second toe on BOTH sides are bent and I think if they were "normal" they'd be too long, i tell him that's how I know we're meant to be lol.

Gums are too big. Teeth too big or too small.

Receiving an email from them and realising that they hadn't used capitals in their name.

Seeing an email from 'joe smith' rather than Joe Smith was enough to put me off.

An outtie belly button would be a no from me. I just can’t. I’m sorry but I can’t.

If they clap when the plane lands. It’s completely harmless. It doesn’t actually say anything meaningful about them. But something in me just goes, Ah. We are not the same species.Ridiculous? Absolutely.



Dealbreaker? …Maybe.
