My first boyfriend and I were looking at pictures of him and his friends when he came across one of his ex-girlfriend. It was at that time he informed me that he would never date anyone as pretty as her and that’s why he was with me. He also informed me that his friends couldn’t understand why he was dating a fat chick!

Aftermath: I stayed with him for another month. I had very low self esteem at the time. He ended up married to a girl that wets the bed! And me? 150 lbs. lighter. He nearly fainted when he saw me!!

I hadn’t dated in four years, and had just gone through a bad break up, so was emotionally unsteady and unprepared for the dating world. But when the first post break up nice guy asked me out to dinner, I was so flattered and surprised, I automatically said yes. I met him at the restaurant; we were about to order, when he leaned across the table and asked me, “So, am I paying for this or are we splitting it or what?” I had assumed we would split the bill (arrested dating development), so I said, ‘No, I’ll pay for myself.’ Didn’t realize what a schmuck he was until I told that story to my girlfriends, at which point I realized it was over before it began.

Aftermath: One more “date,” where I paid for myself—again.

I knew it was over when I knocked on the bathroom door and he said “come in” only for me to see him taking a number 2 and eating breakfast simultaneously.

Aftermath: It ended right there.

She told me I loaded the dish washer wrong and was going to have to re-teach me everything my mother had ever taught me.

I knew it was over when every conversation with him was via text message—never a phone call. He lived about 2 or 3 hours away and that was all I got from him after 2 in-person dates. He said I was perfect, wonderful etc. but the distance was too much for him to handle…and it apparently was too much for him to pick up the phone and speak.
—Shannon
Aftermath: It didn’t last more than a month or so after our first date. I tried to get him to call and he blew up at me via text message…
