saying something wrong that dooms your date

Have you ever been with your boyfriend or girlfriend or just been on a date with someone fairly new and said something that immediately doomed the relationship?



I was just recently thinking abut a girl I met in college (long ago in the 80's :p) that I dated for about three months and I said something stupid that brought our relationship to an abrupt end.

She suggested, for a change of pace, to stay at her house and watch a movie instead of going out somewhere and she wanted me to bring a couple of movies on VHS, preferably a comedy or something not too serious. When I got there, I asked her if she wanted to watch "Monty Python - The Life of Bryan" (which is a satire about people who take religion a little too seriously). She looked kind of sour and said " I heard that movie is blasphemous." to which I replied (without thinking :scowl:) "Whoever told you that is an idiot." Her face became immediately much more sour and she said, "My father told me that, and I think you should leave." 30 seconds later I was heading down the road never to see her again.

I consoled myself with the idea that it was probably doomed anyway because her father was a Baptist minister and I don't think he liked the idea of his daughter being corrupted by a young heathen like me. :smug:


Let's hear your stories.

Once I had a guy take me to Ed Debevics, a fun Chicago hamburger joint. When we got the menu he started going over the fat content of every item on the menu. Then he ordered a salad (I hate it when guys order salads, a salad is NOT a meal!) and when I ordered a hamburger he started freaking out about the fat content of the hamburger. And that I didn't order a diet coke. HELLO? Did he NOT notice there isn't any fat on my body? And we're at a hamburger joint. Where they sell fat-filled hamburgers! I demanded he take me home after dinner. Freak.

Why would he even go to a burger joint if he was going to get freaked out about fat? That's just stupid. And the diet coke thing? Wow. Just wow.

You didn't read it carefully enough. The fact is, though her father was a minister, she never mentioned religious topics and was pretty adventurous in other ways not officially condoned by "her" religion. ;)

What resulted in her being ticked off was not an insult of her religion or beliefs, but rather my calling her father "an idiot" because of his religious beliefs.

I've just gotten done tossing my axes in their cases and getting most of my gear stowed when a redhead (not a hot one, either) that had been drinking heavily and staggering/dancing all night propositions me.

Her: "Come on...it's the best offer you'll get tonight - I probably won't remember a thing".

Me: "Yeah, but I will."

Not really a date, but you get the point.

For the first coupe months I started dating this one girl, I couldn't remember her name. I would forget it all the time, and often call her by the names of other girls (even ones I had dated previously).

...we got married in July and last year she bought me the bass in my avatar.
