"Deal Breakers"
I was listening to a radio chat this week and the subject was deal breakers, which in hip 2004 lingo means, "reasons why you didn't go back out with someone." For example, you are on your first big date with some really hunky guy, he comes to pick you up and he's wearing sweat pants or a leisure suit with socks and sandals. Deal Breaker. So this got me thinking...what were some of my deal breakers.
I was on I believe my third date with a certain guy when he declared to me in a pretty serious manner that he was going to be famous one day. And that he KNEW in his heart that this was to be his "destiny". The concept in my mind fell through the cracks as I thought about what he would actually be famous doing...umm I couldn't think of one thing that was honestly "famous" about him. And so now I was expected to react to this statement, to which I think I politely responded with something like, "um wow thats really neat, going to be famous and all." The bells rang, the umpire ran across the field and said, "GAME OVER."
Second situation, second date with a guy, went over to his parents house with him, his mom is doing something I guess he doesn't agree with. So he YELLS at his mom, rolls the eyes at her the whole I'm way too cool for my mom deal. Deal Breaker #1. I actually experienced two with him. The second deal breaker came in his apparent love of extremely Heavy Metal. No not steel plates but actual cd covers with vampires and girls tied up on the cover. And when asked how he even knew this existed he replied, "well I just got where I needed heavier and heavier music..." DEAL BREAKER!!
So anyways I was just wondering if anyone else had had these moments with possible love interests where they do or say something or wear something that in your mind seals the deal that there is no way I will ever be in a relationship with them again.... Just wondering...

here's a shortened deal breaker story
I was working at a bank while in college.. pretty girl always comes through drive through.. for 2 years we flirt..one easter I decide to finally ask her out..I send her a hollow egg with a hersey kiss and a note asking her to go out sometime through the little bank tube dealy. she giggles.. bats eyes..says yes.. she's a music writer for a newspaper.. so we go to a concert for the date.. we are standing around with her friends.. watching the show.. they fire up a joint.. and pass it down the line.. she takes a big hit..DEAL BREAKER!.. she asks if I want a hit.. I say no.. we never go out again...

I can't really think of any for myself. When I think of deal breakers, I always think of friends of mine who have dated jerkwads, and these guys would always do or say things that would make me so mad. I would think, "Why is she with him? If he said that to me, it would be OVER!"
Like the guy who told my friend that, even though she preferred her hair short, she had to grow it out in order to be with him, because short hair is a sin. Ummmmm . . . just, no. It's my hair. I'll wear it how I like.
Like the guy who told my friend that he didn't want to encourage her to exercise because if he encouraged her, he was afraid she'd stop exercising and get fat.
Like the guy who went too far physically with my friend and then blamed it on her, not taking responsibility for his share.
You get the idea. grrrrr.
Wow those are great deal breakers! I love Trey's egg idea....that was really cute! Too bad girl loved her some weed!
