Reasons Why Men Decided Not To Ask Women Out On a Second Date

A first date is a powerful tool that helps you weed out all ineligible partners. It's long enough to give you a sneak peek of that person's personality, and if you come prepared with a couple of targeted questions, you might be able to extract some crucial information from your date.

This will later help you decide if you want to continue dating that person or not. When a date is going poorly, both parties involved are usually very aware of it. The people in the stories below have been unfortunate enough to experience some of the most disastrous dates ever.

1. Let's NOT do this again

“She rolled her eyes when I said she looked nice, criticized where I chose to eat, and complained about the music we went to see. I spent the whole date anxious, assuming that she was hating every moment—because, you know, she didn’t have anything positive to say about anything. Then I get: “ I had a good time! Let’s do this again.” Nah, I’m good. I’ve got enough negativity and mixed signals coming from my own brain. I don’t need that coming from the outside too.” Giphy

2. How rude

“I once went to a movie as a first date with a girl. She arrived late, and the movie had already started. She then wanted to talk during the movie in the middle of the crowded theater. I didn’t shush her or anything, but I gave one-word answers, trying to end the conversation. She got up halfway through and said I was obviously not interested in her. She was right.” Giphy

3. There was no second date

“I went on a date with a lady I met online. She talked about three things on this date and little else: Her pets. Her ex. The last time she had gastro. There was no second date.” Giphy

4. She was more interested in the free dinner

“We went to dinner; she was on her phone the entire time texting, even when we were talking. I figured she was just in it for a free dinner because really, what’s the point of agreeing to date if you’re not going to try to get to know the person?” Giphy

5. At least she's honest

“She had a 1-year-old and told me about a recent nasty divorce. No problem until she mentioned that the divorce was due to the baby not being his…” Giphy

6. I'd rather get rid of you

“You’d have to get rid of your cat.” And that was the end of that. I actually had two women tell me I’d have to get rid of my cat, pretty much immediately. F*** you, a cat is a life commitment.” Giphy

7. People are so odd

“I drove her home because she didn’t have a car at that time, and she asked if we could stop for an errand… to pick up matching T-shirts she had designed for her and her ex.” Giphy

8. She thought I couldn’t read

“When we saw ‘Fury’ in the theater, she read the subtitles out loud. I’m not sure if she thought I couldn’t read them or if she needed to sound them out, but I knew at that moment no follow-up was necessary.” Giphy

9. She had a business to run

“I arrived at her place, and she told me to hop in her car as she just needed to drop something off at a friend's house real quick. It wasn’t a friend; it was someone she had an appointment to sell those hot oil infusers and their millions of scented inserts to. I sat in a stranger’s home for 90 minutes while they smelled them all. She wanted to go to dinner afterward, and I asked her to please drop me off at my car so I could go home. “She had a business to run.” Guess it didn’t even make it a whole first date.” Giphy

10. Heroin Family

“She said, ‘Haha, can’t wait for you to meet my older brother; he just got out of jail for selling heroin.’ Me: ‘Didn’t you tell me your younger brother was addicted to heroin?’ Her: ‘Oh yeah, I wonder how that happened.’” Giphy

11. Going on a date with a cheater

“When she said, ‘I’m so glad my fiancé is still deployed…’ Nope, I was out and left her with the bill for that dinner.” Giphy

12. She was insane

“She asked if I had any love interests still in existence. When I said no, she didn’t believe me. She told me she wanted to travel the world and see old friends (who were guys) and thought that I, as a lawyer, should work and pay for her travels. She was insane. She also offered to screw in her car in the first five minutes of meeting. No second date for you!” Giphy

13. False advertisement

“Teeth as black as the night. She didn’t have any diseases or syndromes but simply no ‘time’ to brush her teeth. For the record, her photos didn’t show her teeth.” Giphy

14. She had a fiancé

“I met her at a hospital (I was an ER patient for a hand wound; she was a phlebotomist). I asked her out to a movie and then dinner. We had a really excellent talk about comics and movies. We were getting to know each other and flirting; it was clearly a date. At the end, when I told her I’d like to do it again, she said her fiancé probably wouldn’t be cool with it a second time.” Giphy

15. She's a "Super Taster"

“I met a girl from my university for dinner one time, and she started the date off by saying she only ate with her hands and didn’t use utensils because she’s a ‘super taster’ and can taste the metals they’re made of. This wouldn’t have been a problem if we were eating finger foods, of course, but it was a problem as I watched her eat a salmon filet.” Giphy
