The Craziest Reasons You've Dumped Someone
Sometimes you just have to blow someone off. And your justification may sound ridiculous to your friends, but screw them, you have your reasons, no matter how crazy they seem. Maybe she talked too loudly in public, or maybe he chewed with his mouth open, or maybe she mispronounced the word souffle. (This is starting to sound like a season of Seinfeld.) And the crazier-sounding the reason, the better.
He Sneezed On Me
One time I was dating this guy I wasn’t totally into, and one night he didn’t cover his mouth when he sneezed, and he sneezed on me! It was terrible. After that I couldn’t bring myself to pick up the phone when he called.
He Was Too Nice
So I’ve brushed several people off due to the fact they were “too nice.” I’m not into dating serial killers or anything, but sometimes you need to see a little bit of snarkiness or sarcasm from someone— otherwise things tend to get boring VERY quickly.
I got dumped by my high school sweetheart because I started questioning THE LORD.
Um, he probably made the right decision . . .
GO USA, GO
Sounds so stuck up, but I have a hard time dating a guy who has not traveled outside of the country. I find it attractive when people make an effort to travel outside of their norms to experience different cultures. If we are dating, and you have yet to go outside of the country, it won’t be long until I move on to the next page in my passport.
What’s the final straw when it comes to dating?
Things are about to get a little ugly…
He Wore Light-Colored Jeans
Now, I’m not a fashion plate or anything, but one time I went out with this guy and he showed up in light-colored jeans, and not in a cool, retro sort of way— more in a bad, 80s-acid-wash-redux kind of way. If it was a one-time thing I would have forgiven it, but it happened THREE times. He just had to go.
He's Just Not That Into...Football
Domestic goddess I may be, but for those four magical months in the fall and winter, three hours of every week go to football-watching. Now, I have yet to dump someone for not being into football, but it has crossed my mind. It’s like going to church every Sunday! How can you compromise on your religious values?
Once upon a time when I described someone I was dating to someone else (who was biased because he liked me but whatever) as, “yeah, he’s not into football,” this dude looked at me and said, “Yeah, that’s not gonna last.” Hmm.
He bought me Uggs
I know, I know, nice right? Um, not when you’ve only been on 4 dates. It majorly freaked me out. I broke up with him, but continued to wear the Uggs. Then I got tall black Uggs which I liked a lot more. And I gave my mom the Uggs my date gave me. Oh well.

He Had Small Teeth!
While his teeth weren’t THIS small, they were pretty wussy. I tried to overlook it for a while, because he was otherwise a prince of a man, but those small teeth, Gah! I can’t do it.
He had a REALLY boring job
I figured, if he LIKES that- I’ll DEFINITELY be way too much for him to handle
