People Share The Pettiest Reasons They Stopped Dating Someone

With all the current dating apps that are available at the touch of your finger on you phone or whatever screen you're using, it's no wonder people are quick to dump someone. Before the advent of all the dating sites people had to let's just say "settle" a tad bit more than they do today.

If you don't like even the simplest thing about someone, you can easily move on to the next person without the care of being unable to find someone else.

Have you ever dumped someone, or not dated them, for something totally petty?  Someone asked Reddit. 

1.  "She was perfect, except she would snap her fingers whenever someone said something she liked.  Every conversation was peppered with snaps."

2.  A guy did his Beavis impression from "Beavis and Butt-Head", and the woman realized he kind of looked like Beavis in general.  So that was it.

3.  On Tinder, a woman always swiped left on any guy holding an iPhone without a case because, quote, "I didn't need that kind of stress in my life."

4.  A guy talked about his Italian heritage too much.  Nothing against Italians, it was just way too constant.

5.  "He had a Velcro wallet."

6.  A guy spread ketchup across his entire plate at breakfast, then chopped his food up into one big pile.  "Pancakes were involved."

7.  A woman took 40 minutes getting ready to take her dog for a walk.

8.  The person didn't use turn signals.  Quote, "If you can't communicate on the road, you can't communicate in real life."

9.  "I asked them how they were doing, and they said 'hashtag blessed.'"

10.  Sometimes a person's voice can just irritate you for no good reason.  A TON of people agreed with that one.

11.  A guy clapped at the end of a movie, and his date felt like they had to clap too.  Relationship over.

12.  A guy said his favorite color was purple, and they think purple is dumb.

13.  Serious food allergies.  It's just too much pressure knowing that if you kiss the person after eating peanut butter, they could die.

14.  A woman chewed with her mouth open.  The person she was with tried dropping hints, and even made up a story about a gross coworker who did it.  But she didn't stop, so that was it.

15.  "[She had] the same name as my mom.  I just couldn't do it." 

So if you're still in the dating world, keep in mind that you could be ghosted for the pettiest reasons imaginable. Just be yourself and hope that the person you're dating isn't to petty.

Dating is nothing like it was a few decades ago. Heck, dating isn't anything like it was even just a few years ago, with all the different dating apps and online ways to find love. But, one thing hasn't changed: People still want to be appealing. They want to put their best foot forward in the dating world. So, what are some ways to be more attractive and appealing when you're on a date?

Actually, this list works even if you're not looking to date or are already are in a long-term relationship. Why not be as attractive as possible just for yourself? I'm not just talking about the physical, either. There's so much more to being an appealing person than looks alone. Dictionary.com has some definitions of attractive that show the broadness of this term. They say the word means "providing pleasure or delight, especially in appearance or manner" and add that words such as "pleasing, charming and alluring" all apply. They also use the word in the context of having "an attractive personality" or "arousing interest or engaging one's thought" and "consideration."

Of course, not all definitions are so broad. Some do come down to appearance and vanity. Vocabulary.com defines it as, "Anybody or anything that's attractive is visually pleasing or draws you in." They add that it also has to deal with attracting others, of course, and that, "for people, being attractive usually means you're beautiful or handsome enough to pull in the attention of others."

That said, in this list, I'm really focusing on ways to be an all-around attractive person. This is largely not a list about how to be physically prettier or more handsome. Sure, some of these tips are physical. But, for the most part, these are ways to be instantly attractive in the dating game and a more appealing person overall.

This one might seem odd. If you're trying to attract someone, why would you try to focus on them? But, it works. People like to feeling like the person their with is actually interested in them. It helps you actually be an attractive person if it isn't always about you and if you focus on your partner, date or friend.

Sure, you want to look good on your date. But, if you're wearing heels that are too high or pants that look cool but just don't fit, you might be uncomfortable, and that will make the other person uncomfortable. "The most important thing is that you feel comfortable in what you are wearing. If you are not comfortable, it will show in your body language and your date will be able to tell," says Houseofcoco.net.

Everyone always talks about confidence being attractive, and they're not wrong. Being confident in yourself is a very attractive quality. You don't need to be an egomaniac or anything, though. No bragging fests on a first date. Just, be confident in who you are and in the spectacular, rock star of a person that God created you to be.

This goes along with confidence. Just be you, because nobody else can be you. "As cheesy as it sounds, the most important thing you can do on a date is to look and act like your authentic self," notes Southerntide.com.

This is a tricky one. I'm not a big fan of perfume. But, it's good to smell nice on a date. That said, do not - I repeat, to not - overdue it. There's really no bigger turnoff than someone who smells like they just took a dive into a pool of really strong perfume or cologne. Less is more.

Show off those pearly whites! Something as simple as smiling can make you instantly appear attractive, because it implies that you're happy on both the outside and inside. No RBF, please. Smiling is contiguous, too, in the best possible way.

Your mom was right when she told you to sit up straight. "Slouching makes you look unconfident and bored, neither of which are attractive qualities," notes Houseofcoco.net. "Sit up straight and make sure your shoulders are back. It will make you look more confident and alert, two qualities that are sure to impress your date."

Dating and socializing is supposed to be fun. Humans were meant to be together in a community, and that's a good thing. So, just have fun on your date. Be playful. Laugh. Flirt. Wink. Okay, maybe don't wink. That's creepy. But, you can send a wink emoji. Simply have fun.
