Let's Discuss Deal Breakers

No license? That's a tough one. He better be pretty good on a bike.

I respect the hell out of people who live without cell phones. I currently have four, and I want to get rid of the lot (ha!). Well, I have four numbers on two cell phones, plus another two soft phone numbers on my poota. I wear WAY too many hats. That's also probably a deal breaker for some.
 
My friend went on a date with a guy who had to blow into an ignition lock thing to start his car due to DUIs. She said it really killed the mood. ha.

THAT'S a deal breaker for me.

Drink driving is the ultimate selfish act in my book. Fuck those assholes who think they're more important than everyone else. I hate cleaning up their mess.
 
I just never learned how to drive. We only had 1 car growing up and my dad always drove. I tried to learn but our truck is a stick shift. I could never figure it out.

Would you like to learn? I think that would make the difference to me. Unless it was due to medical reasons (epilepsy or something like that), I think I'd want the guy to at least be open to learning and I'm a great teacher...so win/win.

Sure if you will be patient with me then i would love to learn how to drive.


LOL.

I could never date someone who didn't have their license. I am too lazy to always be the go getter.

*I was feeling terribly sorry for you that your dad didn't teach you how to drive!!*
 
haha yes but I would have really stressed on how to answer you nicely.

I would have enjoyed the conversation as much as possible, ordered an extra beer or two, gotten 2 desserts instead of a dessert for two, and said goodnight without the intention of ever taking them out on a second date again.

So, is a dessert for two your go-to move when things are going well?
 
2 - As long as they can discuss it rationally, ie allowing that you have a different opinion, then I don't see a deal breaker yet. Plenty of people believe in religion, I don't. SSDD. Doesn't matter if it's a third date or thirty years later they drop the bomb on you.

3 - That's kind of cheap, but it depends on other factors. Does she have a job? Does she have a really high paying job? Does she have parents or kids that need financial medical help? In other woids; is she strapped for cash or is she rolling in dough?
a- If she is strapped for cash, then it's isn't okay, but it's understandable.
b- If she is rolling in dough then it's a deal breaker

4 - I hope not having a cell phone isnt a problem because I didnt have one up until recently.

5 - That's a nebulous situation. In New York City, it's a luxury to have a car and thus a license. I mean we aren't talking a "$20/month extra luxury, but a $200/month parking bill, plus $1000 to $3500 every six months for insurance, tolls add on about another $150/month, and on top of it, almost any repair station is going to charge you about $2000/year to get your car to pass inspection. On top of which, rent is usually $1500/month for a cramped hole-in-the-wall.
Opposed to that, taxi's, buses, and subways are much more economical, so a driver's license isn't necessary.

Contrasting to that, you can't survive in Florida without having a car. There is a train, and a couple of buses, but they dont cover a wide enough area, nor long enough service hours for people to reply on. So anybody in that state, who doesn't have a driver's license is either unemployed, and/or living under a bridge. Either way, that's a deal breaker to me. I put in time trying to help homeless or unemployed people and it just isnt worth it because they LIKE being that way.
So, it depends on location and other situations for it to be a deal breaker or not.
 
I've broken two cell phones now. And both times gone about six months before getting a new one. And I don't have a landline...

I can dig the no phone thing.
 
Ok so #4 was a pretty easy answer for everyone. Let's try this one.

#5 They are your age and they have never had a driver license because they never learned how to drive.

I think I can tolerate a whole lot, but that is a deal breaker for me.

I have a transporter built into my house, it's got a direct line to the cheesiest part of the moon. Want to come over and explore with me?

:devil:

Yes, depending on what type of cheese is in the middle. :D
 
#1. You are on your first date. You are getting to know each other and your date confesses that they have a tattoo of their ex's first name on their chest.

I have some tattoos that people could potentially hate to look at.
Fine for the first few dates/weeks but if it's going to go anywhere then he needs to be getting rid of that. I don't want to be looking at that every time he gets his kit off.
Plus, if there are no residual feelings, why keep her name on your body?!

#2. You are on your third date and you really like the person so far. Then In the middle of conversation they tell you that they truly believe the earth is flat. No matter how you try to discuss it with them, they believe the earth is flat and you can't change their mind.

Yeah, and the moon is made from cheese.
No.
next!

#3. You're waiting for your date outside of a restaurant. It's a first date. You see them pull up and get out of their car. They walk over to a fountain, take some change out of it and feed their parking meter with them.

Honestly, I felt uncomfortable just reading this. No. You don't take money from a fountain. Those things are usually for the benefit of some charity or other. It's actual theft. Theft from a charity FFS. Game over.

#4. You're on your first date and they tell you that they do not own a cell phone.

I'd wonder how we made it to the date tbh. It's not a deal breaker, but unless we had some way of communicating electronically then i don't see how it would work.
I'm fairly antisocial, I'm not one for talking on the phone. I'd need a text-equivalent for practical reasons.

I didn't learn to drive until I was in my late 20s. Mainly because it's expensive and I had no need to drive up until that point - I managed fine with public transport.
I'd be totally hypocritical if I had a problem with this.
 
#6. You're on your 3rd date and things are going great. When they show up, you see they got a hair cut. It is much shorter and a bit unevenly done. You can't help but stare and finally say something about noticing they got a haircut. They say yeah I cut my hair last night. You ask where and they say they cut their own hair. When you ask why they say it's because hair cuts are too expensive and they save money by cutting it themselves. You offer to pay for the next one but they refuse. You really like this person, but their hair looks ridiculous.

These questions totally sound straight out of my dating pool. Why I'm single. Lol

Offer to at least trim it up for him and straighten it out or I have clippers if it comes down to that. *sighs* :D

True story...started dating a guy.He was very nice. Everything was good...except...this absolutely ridiculous pair of shoes he wore. They were a strange pink color and looked too big, like his feet were flopping around in them. First date...I didn't mention them. Second date...concern grew because he again wore the shoes. Third date...finally just blurted out "what is up with the shoes, man?!"

He said that some shoe place was going out of business and he got them for $5! BTW...this guy was not broke. He loved these shoes. I finally said..."I hate the shoes." He said that told him that I was not an open person and far too materialistic. That was that. I still wonder if those shoes were some kind of test. I mean, no one could actually want to wear those shoes.

So...If the haircut really bothered me, I'd just say..."let me get you a haircut because the one you have is drying up my vagina."...but hopefully in a nicer way.

I'm pretty sure the way you just said that would do the trick just fine! LOL
