Posted: 4/10/2008 4:19:50 PM | When much younger I broke up with a guy because he refused to ever let me pay for anything we did on our dates. I'm not against the guy paying, nor am I against the girl doing so or going dutch. But... well read on:
First date, we discussed how to pay, and he insisted on paying (he seemed shocked that I wanted to pay - clearly it was important to him), so I let him and was honestly flattered and greatful. It's nice to be treated! Then the second date, I offer to pay and still he insists on paying (ok it seems it is really important to him), so I said fine. The third date I put up more of a fight, but he insisted, and I said ok, but only if he would let me get the meal the next time. He said no, so I argued that at least I we should go dutch next time, and he said maybe. Then the fourth date, he refuses to let me pay anyway. I don't remember if there was a fifth date, but I do know he never let me pay.
I just felt uncomfortable and guilty, like I was taking advantage of him, even though it was his idea. Our financial situations were approximately equal, so his paying just didn't make sense to me. In retrospect, I realized it was a difference in cultural traditions. He was a really nice guy. At the time, though, neither of us knew enough about each others' culture nor had the communication skills to work it out. | |

Posted: 4/17/2008 10:33:40 AM | | Was reminded of this today whilst talking to my daughter - and I must confess. I dumped a guy because he bought me a ticket to go with him to a Status Quo concert, and I couldnt bear the thought ... so I dumped him out of embarrassment and because I couldnt think of another way to wriggle out of it. This was 1979 and they were really popular then. | |

Posted: 4/17/2008 10:51:54 AM | One guy:
Profile said: 5'11" Person was: 5'0"
Profile said: 180 lbs. Person was: 100 max
Profile said "Normal" Person brought up that his ex was a Size 28 and they had fun looking up "partners" for her.
Profile said "Extrovert" Person's interests were online debating, computer programming, and political blogging
Thank God the Ducks were playing, and our date was at a sport's bar! ESPN never looked so good. Even the bartender snickered the whole time we were having dinner. (P.S. Person chose "sports bar type place" as he "liked sports" and then said "I really don't like sports.") | |

Posted: 4/18/2008 8:55:11 AM | I have thought of an even more shallow one than the one listed above. Deep breath ... confess and cleanse. I once dumped a guy because he had an Oxo Cube dispenser in his kitchen. He invited back for coffee after a date and my eye caught the offending article stuck to the wall just to the left of the kettle, it was white plastic with one side for beef Oxo and the other side for Chicken. You fed the cubes into the top in a long line and each one was dispensed in one easy pull with the finger and thumb at the bottom. Really naff and horribly bad taste - both in interior design and on the tongue, and I guess it planted the seed within my mind that a man who ate so much Oxo that he needed a dispenser for it was not going to be my type.
... very shallow of me however, and now I feel thoroughly ashamed of myself. | |

Posted: 4/18/2008 9:57:28 AM | worst i've ever done: i met a guy online and we totally hit it off. we talked for hours on msn that night, and for every night that week. finally we decided to meet and i gave him my cell phone number to call and make plans. he called, and as soon as i heard his voice it was over. he had a breathy, higher pitched voice that sounded... well, i couldn't do it. i made up some excuse as to why i couldn't go out and that was that. i am truly, an awful person and i think karma evens out for this next story ...
worst thing that's ever been done to me: a guy i was dating for a good 6 months dumped me via an msn conversation. his reason: "i need to focus on school." mmmmhm. | |

Posted: 4/18/2008 10:06:53 AM | | When I was fifteen .. maybe sixteen, I broke up with my boyfriend of two weeks right after he gave me a heart pendant and a card saying "I love you" ... I always look back in amazement at how 'heartless' that was .. I think his profession of love scared me at the time, so I bolted. | |

Posted: 4/18/2008 1:09:57 PM | Darn...I don't have a shallow break up story.
I did stop talking to a guy that I had never met.....simply because his voice was awful. But darn, that's not a break up thing. | |
