Cuz' it's one, One, ONE strike you're out!

After yelling DEALBREAKER!!! when my roommate received a text message from an interested boy I realized, once again, that I may have issues. Apparently not everyone has a conscious list of things that would signify an almost immediate break-up if a behavior continued. Here is just a small list of things that will almost definitely get me to break-up with/ never date someone.

A Man who:

1.Considers text messaging a viable form of communication.

2.Has no sense of personal space
2a.Has no respect for others personal space
2b.Insists on invading my personal space when around others...for instance lap sitting

3. Enjoys long phone conversations when we only live 10 minutes apart.

4. Reads any form of comic books, wizard magazine, or anything in the realm of fantasy...this includes porn.

5. thinks a clever way to pick me up is to pass me notes with song lyrics: ex. Hello, I love you, won't you tell me your name....NO! no, I will not tell you my name you yellow pants wearing FREAK.

6. doesn't understand that biking in any form is not a date. Even if I do get training wheels.

7. Takes pictures of me without permission.

8. Follows me around in a van.

9. Cries more than I do.

10. Calls himself a musician due to a run in with a triangle at a 3rd grade production of Les Mis.

Whether or not it is a list you write down or not, YOU have dealbreakers too. Yes, you sitting there all smug pretending you are better than me.

Three words: carnations and stuffed animals...sorry, but so tacky. Can I also include promise rings without insulting too many people? You are right, Tiff. We all have our dealbreakers.

i don't judge. mine include not being able to sing on key, weighing less than i do, anyone that claims that they "play the piano" because they know how to play "heart and soul," and weak handshakes.

tiffany said...

Sarah, agreed on all things.

Shalinn, AMEN.

Michelle, I literally almost put those exact same words.

1. Not laughing at a really funny joke of mine.

2. Fake laughing at a really bad joke of mine. (unless you're laughing AT me like you should be)

3. Making a deal and then breaking it. Yup, that's a deal breaker.

4. Doing something to "fit in" and calling yourself "rebellious" because of it. You know who you are you tattoo-laden goth-dressing smokers. Caving in to peer pressure is nothing to be proud of.

That's all I have for now.

I have several dealbreakers as well. Most of them have to do with hair...like no ponytail allowed. ABSOLUTELY NOT okay. Please don't wear a shirt that shows that you have a lot of chest hair. Definitely a dealbreaker. Oh, and how about this:
"Kim just bought a house and I am moving in with her."
"Oh. I thought we were getting married in a few months."
This is NOT an acceptable way to propose. In my book he would have been out the door.
