My story:

Met a guy online who was from my hometown (NY) so we really hit it off. Went to the movies and then he asked me out again. No sparks, but was willing to give him a chance since I enjoyed his company and finally had met someone who enjoyed doing things. Next date was a festival; which he brought along another couple. Nice event, until we all went and got something to eat at a restaurant. This man was smacking (eating with mouth wide open) and talking loud -- while food was spewing out of his mouth, etc. Oh my goodness, I was repulsed and embarrassed. Apparently the other couple was use to it and continued eating while I lost my appetite. Regardless at the end of the date, he asked for a kiss, and I told him that I felt as if I was going to throw-up. Poor guy, he said he thought something was wrong since I wasn't eating and had this look on my face!

After that he went "ghost" on me! LOL

After exchanging a couple of emails and talking on the phone once I scheduled a meet with a guy for appetizers. During the first five minutes he asked if I was going to have a problem with him helping his ex-wife out financially once in a while, because she was terrible with money. I blew it off and said something like I didn't think talk about an ex should be brought into the conversation on the first meet. As we continued to talk he told me he had two big dogs, a dalmation and a rotweiler, and that he hoped I didn't have a problem with them being in the house and sleeping in OUR bed. At that point I think I must have looked like a deer in head lights because he said, I can see that's going to be a problem for you. Not that I was even entertaining the idea of seeing him again but, all I could envision was these two huge dogs on my white carpet! He wasn't happy when I told him that I don't allow people to wear shoes on my carpet much less allow dogs on it. When the bill arrived, I offered to pay my part but he refused. As we were leaving he told me that he didn't normally leave tips for servers at all, but he made an exception because he was with me and thought I would frown on it. I actually left there speechless and seeing a big neon NEXT sign flashing in front of me.

About two months later he sent me an email and asked what happened to us. When I told him that I didn't think we were a match he became very indignant and said, "But I bought you dinner"? I blocked him but wish I had told him he would have been better off to spend the money on dog food.

Now animal lovers everywhere. Don't get me wrong. I do like dogs...but I prefer small fru-fru dogs. Yeah, I'm a girly girl. hehe...

My biggest turn-off is someone that has in interogational speaking style and analizes everything I say. The second biggest turnoff would be someone that has anger issues or has the "tude." When I met my first ex years ago, I ignored the second turnoff and it was at my own peril. You mentioned your date with the go-carts.. Here's my story.

The second date with my first ex was really fun. I decided to take her to a putt-putt golf course in San Antonio and she was in a bad mood. This course is one of the finest in the country with real palm trees and it's also a really hard course. Well, halfway through our round, she was losing to me by about 15 strokes and she took her golf club and decided to assualt one of the palm trees with it out of frustration. Problem is the tree snapped in half and landed on the people waiting behind us. We were both escorted off the property and we almost spent our 2nd date in the paddywagon.

Jodie,

I was young and in love so I went ahead and made the mistake of not reading the warning signs she posted along the way. Ever since then, I have never taken a first date to play putt-putt. :-)

I live in Silicon Valley where the majority of men are engineers. On a lunch date about 3 years ago I experienced two first date turn offs. My date stared at me intensely throughout lunch and never looked away....I swear the guy didn't know how to blink. The second was he took 20 minutes to explain how antennas receive and transmit information. He wanted to see a movie after lunch. I said bye-bye to "Antenna Guy".

I went to dinner with a guy last year who would take his gripped hand and shake it towards me while speaking in order to get his point across. I guess just to really punctuate his thoughts...very very annoying. I thought one time he was going to hit me!!!
