The Queen of No

In reply to Seinfeld-ian Dating & Dumping Is So 20th Century
The guy I'm dating has a bed that dips in the center, his kitchen is hideously dirty (like he still has a pot of chili from a month ago sitting on his stove because his sink is too full of dishes to clean it AND his GF grill is dirty as fuck) and he doesn't use a knife to cut big food in restaurants, he just picks it up and eats it with his hands.

But the sex is amazing and we have fun...

I once dumped someone after he wrote me an email (from Switzerland) telling me about a cartoon he was seeing everywhere of "a duck wearing a bire."

Bire? I had no idea what he was talking about. Googled it in case it was a French word I didn't know. Urbandictionaried it. Nothing.

Then I realized there was a picture attached to the email... of a duck wearing a BERET.

@thekillerkitten: Oh man, that's funny. Once my boyfriend sent an email in which he told me to "have fun at the loooooow." I eventually figured out that he was trying to spell luau.

I went on a blind date with a guy who had the worst manners I have ever seen on an adult, especially an adult who was trying to make a good impression. He was imperious with the waitstaff, complained bitterly about the menu prices (at the restaurant HE chose), pushed his food onto his fork with the all four fingertips of his other hand (appetite loss in...4...3...2..J), told bawdy jokes while we waited for the movie to start. Ugh.

The sad thing was that he thought women didn't want to date him because he was short. No, it's because you're an ASSHOLE, idiot. I really wanted to tell him that, but I couldn't figure out how to start that email.

I once dumped a guy because he was rude to the waitress.

Oh wait, that's a valid reason, never mind.

Before I met my best friend, we had both dumped the same guy because he smelled like corn.

It was disconcerting, ok?

I once broke up with a guy because he was one of those sappy, emotional, psuedo-intellectual types. At first, I thought he was all deep and esoteric. Plus, he bore a resemblance to an more masculine, more feral and muscular version of Prince. I was also going through my "I'm a cosmically deep and misunderstood college girl" phase, so we clicked. The end came when one morning I woke up to find him staring at me and then he asked me if I wanted to hear the poem he'd written for me. Apparently, my sleeping, drooling, snoring self inspired him to the point of limericks. Shitty, shitty limericks.

I have a dear, dear friend who seriously never gave a girl a second chance after a first date for the most absurd of reasons. We actually called him Seinfeld. I mean - her eyelashes are too short, her pants are too long, etc. Well, he found someone - finally - but she is entirely wrong for him. He has found a major flaw in her (one that scares me!), but is afraid to let her go. It is utterly confusing.

@rollergirl76: Totally true. And I have to believe that everything works out in the end. After all, Mr. WM was a total drunky meathead - but was also 19. Kid is perfect now at the ripe old age of 29. Faults, be damned!

Hey, Jessica Simpson made a career off of many Seinfeldian reasons not to date someone:

1. Creepy father

2. Believes a post-Emmy party would occur BEFORE the party, because post is similar to postage and you put a stamp on an envelope before you mail it.

3. Buffalo wings are made from real buffalo

4. Controlling father

5. Tuna vs chicken

6. Greasy face (or says she in her Pro-Activ commercials)

I'm trying to break up with a guy right now and have been for almost a month. And I just can't come up with a decent (i.e. Seinfeldian) reason to tell him. I just flat out don't like him anymore and don't wanna hang out with him. Period. He is a nice person but I think he's a dork.

@chocolatecoffeebeans: Agh, I've been there. I had a very long-term relationship languish for several months as I tried to figure out some way to gracefully leave him with everyone's feelings spared. I was with the guy for like six years and I was living with him. It was a mess.

Finally we talked it out as best we could and we were mostly civil to each other until I could move out. I know I really hurt his feelings and I still feel bad, and I should have been honest with him right away so he didn't feel like I'd been leading him on.

Here's hoping you figure out something soon that leaves everyone's feelings intact!

@chocolatecoffeebeans: if you make it sound like you are a horrible person (even though you aren't) it will be easier for him to take and move on. I have done that. We both left satisfied because the fling was over (my goal) and he didn't feel so bad (he came out the good guy).

But then, we hadn't been seeing each other long enough to really call it a relationship.

Does that help?

I wasn't planning on continuing a summer fling, but the final nail in the coffin of that relationship was that his "goodbye" present was a HUGE - like, the size of a 7-year old child - teddy bear holding a teddy bear holding a teddy bear. I was 19. He was 25. We did not stay in touch.

@SydneyGal: The worst part about it was that he KNEW I needed to get on a plane the next day. In the end, I just left it at the house I was staying it, and my dad picked it up when he was driving back from a business trip. I put it in a box so that I wouldn't need to explain why I had a ginormous stuffed animal.

If it's just a first date, then did you really "dump" them?
