10 People Reveal What Gave Them ‘The Ick’ From Someone They Considered Dating

“I went on a date with a girl who seemed perfectly fine. She was really nice and made interesting conversation, clearly cared and put effort in the date. But then halfway through she gets a call on her Bluetooth headset, which I hadn’t even noticed beneath her hair. I don’t know why but it turned me off so quick.” — dicksjshsb

“My brief GF bought me some hair care products before she came over because it was right by her house. In return I said I would go grocery shopping and make her a nice dinner. I thought this to be an even exchange. That night I found her looking through my trash for the receipt for the groceries to make sure that the 30 dollars she spent on me was equal to the amount I spent on her dinner.” — lookssharp

“First date, I was filling gas and she started going through my phone. I saw her go through it and continued to fill gas as she read my text messages… I’m a fairly open person with little to hide but I do value trust and honestly. Soon as the pump clicked she put it back in a hurry. I skipped the dinner plans and dropped her home. If I can’t even trust you with my phone, I can’t trust you with my future.” — trekmadonetwo

“Making spills/messes and leaving it for long periods of time without cleaning it up. Like months.” — executeablefiend

“Went on a date with an outwardly ‘normal’ girl. We started kissing and getting frisky back at her place and she started meowing and acting cat-like. It was little mewls at first, then leading on to her stopping, licking her fingertips and grooming her ears. She saw me make a face and questioned why I’d made a face. I was straight up and said, ‘Because you’re pretending to be a cat.’ She said, ‘Oh, was I? Sometimes it takes over when I’m horny!’ We tried again, she mewled again, and I noped out of there pretty quickly after that.” — hundreddollar

“She was ‘best friends’ with another girl who she constantly spoke shit about when said friend wasn’t around.” — 11_Jay

“Maybe not instantly killed, but a really lovely woman telling me in a sincere voice that she loved me, 3-4 hours after meeting her, freaked me the fuck out in a way that I guess could reasonably be described as ‘the ick.’ In no way was the statement couched either, just straight up ‘I love you.’ Think I responded ‘…no, you don’t.'” — jbartlettcoys

“Literally every single problem she had was someone else’s fault. Even when there was proof it was her fault she would argue nonstop that it was someone else’s. She got in a car wreck and called insurance over and over again to tell them that it was the other person’s fault. They checked the computer in her car because it saved her speed she was going right before the wreck. It told them everything they needed to know and she STILL denied it.” — ctrlALTdeleted716

“She wanted me to only call her the name of her high school bully, who was guy, that she said she couldn’t stand, repeatedly. Too much to unpack.” — honiehopes

“Dated a guy who seemed chill but kept talking about social media and how people/exes were scheming against him. I believed him at first until it got to a point where he thought things like a photo someone put up was an indicator that they were ‘getting him back’ when these people were literally just doing normal things and posting normal stuff. It was really unsettling. Months later he rang me out of the blue to ask me about a link between his ex, myself, and a friend. The link was butterflies and because of this link he thought we were conspiring against him” — BangGrenade
