Strangest Rejections....

One guy I dated for a short time actually brought up the possiblity of children after we had only been going out for 3 or 4 weeks. I answered that I haven't been able to have children since I had a tubal ligation following the birth of my youngest son. He asked me if I would be willing to get it reverse and I told him "No, it is too risky for me to have another pregnancy". He then said that his father wouldn't like him to be dating a woman who couldn't have children even though he insisted it didn't bother him personally.
 
I went on a few dates with this one girl until she told me she was still too into her old bf to date me. I know she wasn't lying because she started sobbing about it as she told me. Pretty fucking awkward, lemme tell ya...
Because girls only ever turn on the waterworks when they mean it...
(Not saying that's true in your case, just saying)



I've been semi-seeing this girl for the past few months. One time I asked her if she was free after work and she said no, she was busy getting her car serviced... she wasn't finishing work till 8, and its not like we live in some 24/7 city that never sleeps, its a pretty rural area. It was so obvs such a bad excuse.
I've seen her before and after that though, but at times she's still like that. She's an odd one.
 
(shrugs)
...If you're seriously interested in her, your next step seems clear. :)

A Louisville Slugger and duct tape?


....just joking.

Joking or not, that isn't cool.

I'm trying to think of weird rejections I've had, but I can't remember any. Usually just got a flat "no."

As for the tattoo thing, if that's what someone is into, it's what they're into. :shrug: Physically, I have very few dealbreakers. The vast majority of my dealbreakers have to do with personality and worldview.
 
The way I turn down a guy depends on the situation. I'll either explain that I'm not looking to date or that I'm already taken, if that's the case. I think I've only lied once and that was in high school when a rather socially inept guy asked me out and I didn't want him to feel bad so I made up a long-distance boyfriend. Oh and a guy asked me to prom and I told him I wasn't going to the dance at all, but then I stuck to that and didn't go.

The only times I've been at all mean have been with guys that are pushy or sleazy, like in a club. Or the one guy I kicked out of my apartment because he wanted a physical relationship and I had explicitly told him that wasn't going to happen.
 
Asked a girl out on a date once..her answer.. " I really want to keep this as a brother/ sister thing." :scream: ohh the dirty thoughts that crept into my mind that day! :techman:
 
I've been rejected because I'm a Pisces, which, in the long rung, I decided was probably for the best.

I've also had a girl say to me: "I'd go out with you but John is not your favorite Beatle."
 
Honestly, if someone's going to reject you for reasons such as these it's probably best you were dismissed upfront instead of finding out this was what you were dealing with farther down the line.
 
I found my husband by opening up my mind to any man who was single, employed, straight (or bi), within 5 years of my age in either direction, and in my general geographic area. As it turns out, we come from similar economic circumstances, we're both lapsed Catholics, we're both geeks, and we both wanted children (which would have been my only real deal-breaker). A woman with a very specific vision ("Prince Harry", as my sister says occasionally) is going to have trouble finding a successful long-term relationship. It doesn't hurt to date a wide variety; it usually helps.

As for tattoo girl, I'd have replied with, "Well, you've never seen my ass, now have you?"
 
I've been rejected more times than a faulty C/C , either with the silent treatment or some other bullshit excuse. and I wonder if I'm that repulsive or would have better odds at the Lotto?, lol

Get a tattoo or just move on.
 
I suppose the weirdest rejection I ever got was the woman who said she was too old for me-- ten years-- and then started sleeping with a guy who was twenty years older than her. That was twenty-five years ago. He's dead now. I'm still alive. I win.

:rommie:
 
I asked a coworker out on a date last week....she said I was a nice guy, but she only dated guys with tattoo's because it was a turn on...I thought to myself later on thats like saying you only date guys who wear blue shirts...anyone can get a tattoo...how is that a deal breaker? Of course there is always the possibility that she just was using that as an excuse to let me down "nicely"...oh well...no there was no point to this..

She is a tattooist, report her to your local tattooless representative as soon as. :p

Something fishy about that excuss.:p
 
I got rejected once, the main reason she gave was because she expected me to be dressed like Elvis. It was obviously a false excuse (and indeed it turned out to be that way) but it seemed a strange thing to say.
