“It’s All Politics”
I had been dating this guy I had met at work and I thought things were going okay, he’s a really good guy, until we’re out at dinner a few months before the election for President… Somehow politics get brought up and of course he doesn’t have the same views as me. We get into a heated discussion and I knew it was over when we didn’t see eye to eye on the same beliefs and dreams for our Country.

Aftermath: 2 years later I run into him again and he asks me if I still have the same political views. I say yes and he shakes his head and sighs. Needless to say, we will never be dating and I’m okay with that.
“Could it be…hmm…Satan?”
For months it was a rollercoaster of ups and downs, breaking up and getting back together. I should of known it was PERMANENTLY over when he said he didn’t believe in evolution (I’m a scientist) and that gays were caused by Satan.

Aftermath: I think we stayed together for a few more months.
“That IS Too Bad”

We were snowed in at her parent’s house and I’d spent the last three and a half hours digging her and her family out. Exhausted, I sagged to the floor of her room and asked if she had any Chapstick. “I offered you some yesterday and you didn’t take it.” “I didn’t need it yesterday.” “Well, than that’s too bad, isn’t it?”
I silently stood up and left the room.

Aftermath: First night I was stuck there was great; second night, she was downright mean. Still not sure if I’m COMPLETELY done with her, but damn, I’m close. I didn’t wait for her to finish a semester abroad so she could come back and talk to me like I’m ten years old.

“Imperfect Match”
Met a guy on a dating site. One night he slept over – I woke up at 2:30 am to a blaring TV and no guy. I called him: “Where’d you go?” “To a buddy’s.” “Why’d you just leave in the middle of the night?” “Well I left a note.”
Reading the note, it stated how we were an “imperfect MATCH.” Classic.

Aftermath: He called me a few days later, but I never spoke to him again.
