"He just seemed not all there, while we were at the bar he kept asking me to explain what some of the words I was using meant. He refused to take off his coat and awkwardly started swearing. He would ask me to come back to his place each time I finished a sip of my drink. The next day I told him I wasn't interested in seeing him anymore, then he asked me for a refund of the drink I offered to pay for but he insisted on buying." - Reddit user TriggeredQuilt
"I met up with this girl. We went to a bar for some drinks. We seem to be really hitting it off. Then her boyfriend turns up. It turns out he wants to have a MFF threesome and they had a Tinder account for her in order to find someone. When I got annoyed by this, they both suddenly got really aggressive and pissy. They followed me out of the bar and tried to get into a taxi with me." - Reddit user DisloyalMouse
"Met up via Tinder with someone from work who ended up talking about marriage very shortly after we started hooking up.
When I stopped seeing him (due to his clinginess and political leanings), his friends at work were apparently upset with my decision and one of them began to spread rumors that I'm sleeping with all my male friends.
One of those friends has a long-term girlfriend, and she caught wind of these rumors. It almost destroyed their relationship." - Reddit user childfree_IPA
"One guy casually told me that women need to be escorted to the grocery store so that they 'keep their eye on the prize' and 'don't spend like $200 on random things' (his actual words). Then he proceeded to explain why he was right about this and why it's not offensive when I told him that I did not appreciate his statement.
Then he told me about his years of psychological and physical abuse by his father, eventually culminating in him being stabbed by his father.
He also suggested I listen to a couple of his favorite podcasts by a Trump-supporting, feminist-hating misogynist.
On the way home (I gave him a ride because it was cold out and I'm apparently a bleeding heart) he asked me if I would go on a 14-hour road trip that weekend with him (which would have been our second date by the way). Hard no. Like...were you on the date we just had?" - Reddit user fuckmywagon
"After I ordered my coffee, he immediately asked if I'd watch a quick video on his laptop while I waited. It was a 12 minute-long video about his MLM [multi-level marketing] vacation club that was 'totally not a pyramid scheme.'" - Reddit user czechica
"Went to grab dinner. He comments on me ordering pizza in an Italian restaurant. (I don't often eat meat, only veggie thing was pizza.) He comments on me eating pizza with knife and fork. He comments on me not wearing enough make-up (only mascara, even though I wore zero make-up in profile pics). I politely ask about his work. He explains what he does as if he's talking to a 4 year old, even though he knows I'm doing two master degrees and did Biology at my finals.
Throughout the date [he] kept explaining stuff to me as if I'm in kindergarten. Doesn't ask anything about me but long monologues about himself. I decline getting another drink and leave. Dodge his kiss and give him a peck on the cheek instead. On my way home I get a text asking if I'm sure I don't want a kiss." - Reddit user eCaisteal
