When it comes to dating someone new, are you hard to impress, easy to impress?

Is there something specific that seems to impresses you?

What are things your dates have tried to impress you with that backfired?

I am hard to impress. I don't go looking or expecting anything from anyone save that they just be themselves and allow their natural character freedom.

I am always impressed when people enjoy the same things as me and can talk to me about them casually and with open-mindedness.

Most just try to feign interest in my own interests and when trying to set up dates or excursions it all just falls apart.

Fastest way EVER to turn me away, tell me about
all your 'stuff' that you have accumulated.

I begin picturing them without all their 'stuff'
and usually there is simply nothing left of them.

('Stuff' is usually, cars, planes, motels, businesses,
jewelry, oh yeah flash all that gold too, homes, etc.)

Hard to impress. I think it's just because I like to look out for myself. We can still have a good joke about, though :)


Is there something specific that seems to impresses you?
Unpredictable humor. The more unpredictable, the better. Sometimes people joke in their own unique way. I find it refreshing. Politeness wouldn't go amiss, too.

The guy was kissing me, I thought we would end up in bed together, but I saw him do that dry heaving thing, with his mouth. That thing where you're about to projectile vomit. The type that makes your mouth quiver as your stomach churns. I must have known what was about to happen, as I excused myself to go to the bathroom. We were pretty drunk, so he hardly noticed me looking at him. I have a phobia of vomit, so I got myself out of his way, before he sprayed puke everywhere. I knew to let him use his toilet to throw up in, so I told him his bathroom is free to use. I went and slept downstairs on his sofa. I don't mean to sound ignorant of him being sick. I can't bear to be around even just the smell of puke, though. Phobia's can be pretty jarring, so yeah. The next morning, he couldn't remember much at all (Hmmmm. Isn't THAT sometimes the case?). I pretended he hadn't threw up much. His father cleaned him up. I feel kinda cruel for leaving him while he was ill. He lived with his dad, so his dad was used to it.

That's an easy one for me to dodge. There are not too many men who are all that interested in ballet. The costumes maybe, but not the art. laugh

Ha! Fooled you, I love ballet. laugh They are playing Peter Pan here in a couple of months.

Still, I hate it when people play along until I take the time to set something up, and then decide suddenly they do not like it and ruin the experience by complaining or trying to get us to do something else.

My extremely wise Grandmother(20 years ago)gave me a little method to help uncover what you really know about a person you’re dating. In your mind, take away his car, his home, his toys and clothes, put him in an old pair of jeans and T-shirt and throw him in a cabin in the woods for a few days. Now what do you know about him?

If you don't like what you know, you can always just leave them there to starve what ....in your mind of course. :laughing:

I am not hard to impress, when it comes to a date, because before any date, I am already impressed in some ways, with the Man I chose to go out with.

If he has a good sense of humor and romantic on the Phone, then he has my attention. Many men do not know how to be really romantic. IMO
They think it is kissing and hugging.

No in person date backfired, everything they planned went well. dates.

I am not easily impressed! The one thing i look for in a person that is paramount is honesty. This unfortunately is not a common trait! no matter the person honesty is attractive! And sometimes there may not be fire or chemistry but possibly there can be friendship if honesty is there.

Isn't it a sad state of normal when someone simply being honest is impressive? ohwell

You're certainly right, as impressive as their honesty might be, it can't take the place of chemistry.

Nice answer. flowerforyou

I'd rather they just be themselves, rather than try to impress me.

Yeah, much like respect and courteousness, honesty is sometimes a trait which seems forgotten in this continually self centered world.

I always am impressed when people still have those attributes and remember to put them forward.
