27 Dating ‘Icks’ That Made Someone Lose Interest

A single action that sends every drop of romantic interest you had for someone draining from your soul with the violence of an airplane toilet flush is commonly referred to these days as “the ick.” I’ve got mixed thoughts on the idea, since I don’t think there’s many people out there that don’t have at least one ick-worthy tic, some are just better at hiding it. I think if the last generation had gotten the ick, half of our parents wouldn’t be together. Your mom just learned to tune out the fact your dad says “yum” after a sip of wine.

Regardless, there are one-off occurrences worth breaking up over. Some, because they gave you a horrible insight into your until-then loved one’s darker thoughts. Some, for the literal safety of everyone involved. 

Below, Redditors share the things that brought their racing hearts to an immediate standstill. Try to avoid doing them yourself, but if any of these seem like something you’d do? Maybe start with therapy.

berandom1984 . 2y ago Told me I was an okay safe bet and they knew | wasn't going anywhere, so they wanted to play the field as much as possible and see if they could do better, before settling on me.
RoboQwop405 . . 2y ago Went to her place to hang out. Noticed that her dog's crate in her room had poop in it. Not a fresh one that just hadnt been picked up in time. Not just one old one either that maybe some how went unnoticed for the day. Multiple piles of poop from multiple days. Fuck that.
ViggoJames 2y ago PALMEIRAS Long time ago, started seeing a very rich person. Sent a photo of dinner I had ordered on a completely average restaurant on a completely average/popular neighbourhood. Got a reply saying if you ever took me out to eat there, I would never see you again. Well, indeed never saw the person again.
Previous-Loquat-6846 . 2y ago Talked about himself for 2.5 hours straight. | was hoping a disruption like the food being served, orders being taken or even a story ending would remind him to let me get a word in, but he would just go back to another story with so.... yea I was saying...
 . 2y ago Told me about his gambling problem. Only told me because he was losing his house.
ConstableBlimeyChips . 2y ago Every story she told me was about some argument/conflict/drama, and in every story she considered herself to be the paragon of virtue and honesty while everyone around her would be vindictive, cruel, and out to get her. | recognized the behavior because my mom does the same thing and I hate that kind of constant self-victimization.
laflex . 2y ago Litter. We were on a walk, things were going great, I was totally smitten, and then she threw her empty Starbucks cup in the bush.
willthesane . 2y ago I saw her interact with her kids. she was and is a terrible mother. last year i ran across her eldest, he is now in his early 20s. we were talking about life, he was telling me how his mom wasn't a good parent, and I confirmed his opinion. he seemed to like the fact that someone else saw, even if I couldn't have helped beyond having been someone he could talk to during his teen years.
 . 2y ago She slapped me in the face once in public and | have zero tolerance for that outside the bedroom.
hmmgross 2y ago I listened to her issues and troubles. So many of them were clearly self-inflicted. Poor choices, money management and it's never her fault? Nah, I can't have those problems become my problems.
 . 2y ago Every time she texted me and | didn't respond within 5 minutes she would send a question mark. It was incredibly annoying.
LemurDaddy . 2y ago Out on a blind date set up by friends with a ballerina. She is very pretty, even by bunhead standards. Dinner going nicely, and then she starts telling me how the Holocaust was faked and it's all the Jews' fault. Check, please! Goodnight!
ParkieDude 2y ago The girlfriend moved into a new apartment and dropped her cat off at the pound. Cat was a sweetheart, she had him for five years, and when I found out she dropped him off at the pound after asking about him, her comment was, What's the big deal? I can always get another one.
crimsontide5654 2y ago I went to her apartment and she had poster size pictures of herself (like 5) She made me dinner and the chicken was seriously under cooked (raw) and the frozen vegetables were still frozen. Then the icing on the cake (there was no cake) was that she left room and came back in wearing slippers, that she mentioned she's had forever that smelled, from across the room, of funky feet....
Fun_Sized_Momo . 2y ago They would spend all day making TikToks and IG posts but couldn't spare 5 seconds to at least say hi to me. We were dating at the time so I think I deserved at least the tiniest bit of attention.
bearded_dragon_34 . 2y ago Told me I was playing N-word games, when I didn't drop everything in the middle of the afternoon and answer his barrage of drunken texts. Hard R, too. I'm Black; he isn't. I was both amused and appalled, and I pretty much blocked him then and there.
Fewstoriesocto . 2y ago His clothes smelled like he let them to rot in the washing machine and that was such a turn off. Happen 2 times with another guy his clothes smelled funky one day and I lose interest.
No_Establishment4179 . 2y ago When they start giving excuses like past trauma for their bad behaviour and refuse to change for better.
Crus7y 2y ago She wasn't as supportive/serious as I wanted my partner to be. | had been looking for a job for about a month and finally got an interview. I texted her to let her know how excited I was to which she replied with a stonecold Good job, u want a medal?
Kylieisland . 2y ago Не was always disrespectful to his mom 933 ...
What_now_throw_away . 2y ago | was visiting my hometown and hanging out with an old friend and a girl he worked with. It was a little flirty between her and I but then while we were hanging out at his place she stood up and said hey I got something for you and farted at me.
AACC2255 2y ago Treated me as an option and would openly be texting with other girls from dating sites while we were spending time together. When I confronted him about it, he said we weren't committed and I shouldn't be so jealous cause I was the one he was actually hanging out with. Like he was gracing me with his presence lol
Free-Government5162 . 2y ago Не said he ideally wanted 6 biological children. No adoption, they had to be his. I want to give birth to zero children.
IzanamiFrost . 2y ago Edited 2y ago She told me on our first date that she will never text me first and she expected me to always pay for everything Those I can tolerate but the deal breaker was she chewed with her mouth opened
Kazaire . 2y ago We went to a parade together with a bunch of his friends after having been on 3 or 4 dates. Turns out these friends were other people he was dating the same time as me. Не had brought us all together for a mega-date to feed his ego and didn't tell any us! Instant turn off.
HuckleberryGlum1163 . 2y ago Не had asked me a question while we were at a convention. The presenters were presenting. | answered the question and then he susshed me. Like okay, nope.
Zincdust72 . 2y ago I said this within another thread recently, but on a first date, a gal that | was interested in asked me for $300. No, thank you (to both the request AND her).
