AS TOLD TO JENNIFER SAVIN, POLLY BARTLETT AND MELINA FRANGOS
HE ORDERED HIMSELF A SIDE OF NACHOS IN
THE PUB THEN ASKED ME TO TRANSFER HIM
HALF OF THE MONEY. THEY COST £3.99.
HANNAH, 21
FERAL FACTOR
HE ARRIVED
HORRIFICALLY
HUNGOVER
THEN LEFT EARLY
BECAUSE HE “HAD
TO DO HIS IRONING”.
CAROL, 32
On our third date, he asked
if I enjoyed the smell of my
own farts. He then told me that
sometimes his are so strong you
can almost taste them. Repulsive.
LAUREN, 23
He squished us into an airtight
booth in the pub and insisted we
take a selfie so he could show
his ailing grandmother – because
“she’s going to die any day, and
I want to marry somebody she’s
at least seen a picture of”.

HOLD YOUR HORSES CRAZY FROG TOTAL PIG OTTER LOSER
He spent the entire
date reminiscing
about “the horrors
of World War I” –
which he wasn’t
actually alive for.
KALYPSO, 29
As we sat in the
cinema, I could smell
a waft of rotten veg.
I quickly realised it was
coming from my date.
A smelly 118 minutes
later, we went outside
where his dad was
waiting for him – to
witness his son begging
to kiss me. No, thanks.
ELISE, 20
My date cheerily
informed me over
dinner how terrible
he is in bed. Then he
took me to a pub,
where he apparently
preferred playing the
fruit machines with
his mates to talking
to me. When I had
finally had enough
and told him that
I was leaving, he
refused to walk me
to the bus stop in
case somebody
drank his beer.
NAOMI, 24
We headed back to his and
when he noticed that the light
was on, he said, “That’ll be my
ex, she likes to come round
and stroke the cat.”
AMARA, 23
