Dating Chronicles: People Reflect on the Types They’ll Never Date Again
When dating, we tend to encounter a diverse range of individuals, each with their unique quirks and qualities. Unfortunately, among this assortment, there are those few who leave a negative mark or experience that sticks with us for a long time. This often prompts a firm decision to never venture down a romantic path with that type of person again. That said, however, these are also the people who’ve taught us a valuable lesson about compatibility and communication.
Criticism
One Redditor stated, “The type that makes you feel really bad about yourself.”
Stonewalling
This Redditor said, “I recently learned about “stonewalling,” and it was crippling. Dismissing concerns, refusing to listen when your partner needs it, and getting defensive whenever a disagreement happens. Over time, it makes you feel angry, confused, and distrustful.”
Cheaters
A top-liked comment said, “The type with a partner they didn’t tell me about, there were signs, and I stupidly ignored them!”
Never Wrong
A user mentioned, “Those that invalidate your feelings and are never in the wrong, no matter what.”
Jealousy
This user added, “I will not date girls who try to make me jealous. I can’t even fathom how someone would make the connection that jealousy is a form of love.”
Boring
A user shared, “The one-sided and petty surface-level conversation type. Never again. Made that mistake for the last time.”
Smarter Than Everyone
One user exclaimed, “The ‘smartest guy in the room’ guy. He was a know-it-all, and no one could tell him any different. It was insufferable.”
Can’t Put The Phone Down
A user mentioned, “The always-on-the-phone-type. Can’t even put your phone down to have a short conversation means they’ll never engage in any deep and/or meaningful conversations,”
Secrets
One Redditor stated, “Closeted. I don’t want to be anyone’s dirty little secret. Anyone who feels the need to constantly lie or not tell the whole truth on the part that serves their side. No Thanks!”
Playing Victim
This user said, “Someone who plays the victim in life. I wanted so badly to help my ex out. To get her out of her s*****y living situation. Help her get her finances and medical needs in order. I really stuck my neck out. Gave it 150%. Exhausted myself regularly so that I could help her out. I just wanted to see her quality of life improve.”
Clingy
This Redditor added, “Clingy girls. My ex would make me sit on calls with her for 5 hours at a time, and she barely said anything. I couldn’t hang up, or she’d have a tantrum.”
Alcoholism
One user mentioned, “A person that drinks far too much and thinks concern for their health is criticism.”
Narcissist
A user commented, “A narcissist. The type of person who never thinks they’re wrong and will always place blame on everyone else.”
Hobbyless
One Redditor shared, “Someone with no hobbies. Like my god, have something that is your own. It’s ok to spend time away from each other and do things individually that brings you joy.”
Fail To Launch
This user recalled, “Any man with a mom that is TOO involved. My ex couldn’t do anything without consulting his mom first, going to the bathroom, calling mom, doing laundry, call mom. They were exhausting.”
Mental Health Check
A top-liked comment said, “The kind that says there’s nothing wrong with their mental health even though there obviously is. Just be aware of it!”
Addiction
A user said, “I don’t know if this will be controversial or maybe it’s obvious, but someone with a drug problem. Yes, maybe it’s a disease. No, it doesn’t make them a bad person. But it will ruin your life. Not just theirs, yours too 100%. No matter how together you are in your life personally, it will seep over into your world.”
The Needy
A Redditor mentioned, “Someone who pins their happiness on a relationship. No hobbies, friends, don’t take care of their mental health. “As long as I have you, it’s okay,” like no- take care of yourself.”
Overly-Independent
This user said, “The “I’m a bad/boss b*&&&h type!” The never-ending posturing is unbearable. Like, we get it you’re independent, shut up and go about your business then.”
Partiers
Finally, a Redditor added, “Party girls. I don’t mind going out myself now and then, but if every single weekend involves you having to go out and get absolutely destroyed while putting yourself in dangerous situations and with people you don’t know well. Hard pass.”
