What "frightens" you off?

There are no things that really would "scare me off", though there are things that I just don't like, but that's something different. Someone with properties that scare me off would never become my partner.

Scare me off? That's a weird term. The only thing that would scare me is stalker like tendencies, and possibly a third nipple! ;)

There are certain qualities that bother me in prospective partners, but scaring me is pretty difficult. A lot of the ones previously mentioned fit, but my biggest one is fakeness. I can't stand someone who tries to be something they're not. Just be yourself. Fakeness is a surefire way to make me say nice knowing ya, and that's in ANY relationship.

The words, " I love you".... one the first date.

I agree with that.
What scares me off is what i call "too much too soon"....people who fall in love
on the first date.....profess undying love and feelings before they know someone well.

Love takes time, in my experience.

I echo what DMW said about jealousy and clinginess. I would also have to put in this category a control freak. My experiences have taught me that these coupled together equate to significant danger that I no longer will tolerate.

Talk about trying to get a measure of trust........

Oh, sex on the first date scares me off.

This will sound bad, but is a preference. I can't deal with a guy that is so feminine that things catch on fire when he walks by. They are great to hang with, but I cannot see myself with one ever. I'm accused of being "too straight" anyway.

I'm really clear about this one.

When she says that I need to meet her needs. But when she considers my needs to be unreasonable demands! :grr:

DMW hit on it very well about the jealousy and clinginess...Also I really dislike girls who invade your privacy like checking your cell phone and emails which I guess is part of jealousy and women who try to change you...

Goon: I can't stand someone who incessantly talks about themself. It's always a bad sign when someone tells everyone who will listen all the horrible things their exes did to them. I find there are two sides (or partners) to every story. I can't stand someone who is cheap, lacks spontenaity or wears bad cologne. I hate a know-it-all. If you're into bathhouses, glory holes or anonymous sex, we won't get along at all. Bad personal hygene is a guaranteed veto. Don't tell me what you think I want to hear, I can see right through it.

Phony people who pretends they are something they are not...soon or later we are going to find out the truth...

I'd have to say....the clinging, especially after the first date. And the other one taking for granted that thinking that you're in a relationship after just one date. I like to take things really slow, at my own pace, to make sure it's "right". Nothing pushes me away quicker than someone who comes on too fast and too strong. Actually, I'm going through something just like this right now! Yikes!
