The guy who tells you he is the "nicest guy you'll ever meet" and turns out to be the biggest psychopath you never knew existed.

The guy who says, "I thought I'd teach you a lesson" after standing you up due to some perceived injury, but STILL expects the relationship to continue.

Anyone who asks if you find a celebrity on television attractive, then follows up with, "I bet you'd sleep with him right now!" Just walk away from that guy. It will only get worse.

The guy who is always forgetting his wallet when it comes time for fancy dining, but is willing to pay for popcorn at the theater.

The hot musician who looks into your eyes on the second date and asks, "Could you tell that I was on a chemical drug during our first date?"

The guy who fails to mention that he has a son until after he's proposed marriage.

The guy that fails to mention he has a live in girlfriend.

The guy who attempts to buy you anything made of vinyl, pleather, or lace the moment you've agreed to get coffee.

The guy who starts looking at station wagons and family vans, after a few weeks of dating. This is also the guy who informs you that the two of you are dating. He's also the guy that will be married six months after you break up.

Lol these are hilarious!

#1 during a phone convo told me he had no interest in learning about other cultures, and later told me he admired Hitler and thought he was a great leader and that he wanted to go into politics ... mm bye

#2 magically won $1000 at the casino even though he didn't gamble. A few months later when he got laid off and hadn't found a job yet I paid his rent. And another few months later asked me for money to pay the cable guy. Then when I was in thailand stole so much money from me I was put in overdraft, and he was borrowing my car at the time too. Ugh that one took me ages to figure things out.

#3 on first date we were talking in my car (the coffee shop had closed and we never got around to getting anywhere else) he starts rubbing my tummy and tells me he's "warming my oven" to get me in the mood to have sex. Then wanted me to touch myself and then touch him w the same finger. (I didn't btw) Why I wound up dating this guy I still don't know!

Oh, Chickie...you lucky girl, you! I'd be laughing at these if they weren't so appalling! Warming your oven?!? And the other two sound even worse.

One of my last dates was with an EH guy that I diagnosed as having borderline personality disorder. Within a single phone call, he changed from adoring me and putting me on a pedestal to despising me and being repulsed by me. I ended up having to block his e-mail address and his phone number because of the harassing calls and messages. That relationship would have been a rollercoaster nightmare!
OMG thats scary. I'm so glad that I aint met any one like that.

It sure is a good thing you got away from that one!

I had invited someone I had dated over a month up to a party, to meet some friends. She said, no, she didn't feel up to it. I encouraged her, but she declined. Disappointed, I went by myself.

Then I got a hysterical e-mail saying how I didn't want her to meet my friends.

I had a talk with her, she calmed down. Some days later, I met her toddler from her previous marriage for the first time. He was a charming kid, but, of course, demanded a lot of attention and responsibility. I needed to take a day off, to think through things, to make sure I wanted to go ahead with the relationship.

She couldn't wait the full day. She called me, screaming that I didn't really want to be in the relationship. It was so absurd, so over the top; I couldn't stop from laughing. That, of course, did not help.

Really - I had been ready to go ahead. But after that - she pushed me off the ledge. There were other similar incidents of her overreacting to nothing; it wasn't constant, but once every week something would come up. Looking back - it was obvious that I did the right thing.

OH MONICA! I have your sympathy!! I wouldn't know where to begin with mine either. The fact that his mother had to tell me 6 months into heavy dating that he was still MARRIED (though had lived apart 3 years) or that he LOVES me???? (why didn't he say that?) or was it the hours and hours I spent driving to his home (i lived over 90 miles away) to only sit on his bed while he talked on his computer to other women since he made me dinner i should watch what he wanted on tv and listen to him chat online?

SISTER.. I had issues with THAT (the guy) one.
