When it comes to guys and dating, I generally refuse to view things in black and white terms. Everyone is different and every relationship is different, so blanket assumptions and judgments just don’t fly 99% of the time.
…but then there’s the remaining one percent – the “make-it-or-break its,” if you will.
There are the HOT moments. The ones that remind us why we love the opposite sex oh so much.
And then, unfortunately there are the cringe-worthy moments that we’ve all experienced but wish we didn’t have to. The NOT moments.
So for the sake of reminiscing…let’s play a little game of hot or not, shall we?
HOT: greeting me by kissing my hand.
NOT: greeting me by stealing the lollipop out of my mouth. And then putting it in yours.
HOT: guys wearing beanies, even when it’s not cold out.
NOT: guys wearing sunglasses when it’s dark out.
HOT: public displays of affection.
NOT: public displays of douchery.
HOT: kindly offering to buy my friends and I drinks.
NOT: then saying, “just so you know, I’m not buying any more after this.”
HOT: not taking yourself seriously.
NOT: not taking anything seriously.
HOT: introducing me to your friends.
NOT: when your friend openly admits he’s going to cheat on his girlfriend tonight.
HOT: working hard, playing hard.
NOT: playing harder than you work.
….don’t worry fellas, still love you lots 😉
Your turn – give me one of your hot or nots!
“HOT: greeting me by kissing my hand.
NOT: greeting me by stealing the lollipop out of my mouth. And then putting it in yours.”
HAHAHAHAHA. Oh my goodness. GAG ME! Please don’t tell me this has happened to you?
totally happened the other night. ugh
Kelsey says
HOT: Texting the night of the first date telling me that you had a great time and would love to go out again
NOT: go out the next night with your friends and send me drunk texts telling me how much you really like me with too many exclamation points! not just once, but over and over again throughout the night…
…is it bad that I would love that? hahaha
Kelsey says
Yes, very bad! haha jk
Kelsey says
oh, and p.s. should I give that guy your number??? 😉
Hot: the rugged look
Not: unibrow
debbie says
I’m with Meg. A guy stole a lollipop out of your mouth? Dear lord.
Hot: Calling me up and asking me out for dinner or a drink like a man.
Not: Texting me to come over and “watch a movie.”
What are we, 13? Everyone knows that’s code for “come over and let me fondle you.” Bleh! NOT happening, buster.
Hot: Lifting your hands and singing as loud as you can during worship.
Not: Sitting like a bump on a log during worship. Seriously? You’re in a Pentecostal church. Get into it!
Hot: Coming up to me and introducing yourself.
Not: Staring at me from across the room and not saying anything. Creeper…
Hot: Introducing me to his mom
Not: Talking to his mom on the phone several times a day.
Crystal @ Pretty Little Thoughts says
Yeah, the lollipop thing, NAAASTYY!
Hot: Opening up and being real about your past
Not: and including an hour long convo about the ex you are still in love with…
Melissa says
Hot: Telling your girlfriend “I love you” for the first time Not: Telling her that you first realized this during an acid trip the night before
hahahah WOW.
Jacqueline says
Hot: a hug when you randomly bump in to each other at the gym
Not: freaking out when he see’s you hug another guy (your brother who he has yet to meet) at the gym in front of everyone else who is at the gym (and see’s you on a daily basis)
ouchhhh. I think I’d let that one slide, though, shows he likes ya 😉
hahah so funny!
Hot: Being chivalrous. (Opening doors, pulling out chair etc.)
Not: Acting like I am a dumb damsel. (Ordering my food, patting me on the head, or saying “I wouldn’t understand”)
No…you don’t understand…
Ahahaha oh god
HOT: Being a classy frat boy and inviting you to the classy bar in town.
NOT: At the end of the night, saying “You’re on birth control right?”
Hot: Being witty via text.
Not: Responding to my text asking why he’s getting surgery by saying “I’m getting a penis reduction”. Yes that happened, and on the first day we started texting too. I didn’t answer.
Is it weird that I know what 1/2 these refer to…
Hot: You being emo on twitter
Not: You being emo about everything
Hot: Tearing up the dance floor
Not: Tearing my tights or spilling your drink all over me
Hot: Inviting me to your table
Not: You being kicked out of your table for fighting
Hot: You loving your ma
Not: You calling me ma
Hot: You texting me to meet up
Not: You texting me to meet up 8 times between 2am-7am
maaaaaaaaaa
i have another one
HOT: being beckoned
NOT: by monets
This is gross but I have share because it happened a few weeks ago…
HOT: Taking me out to an amazing dinner followed by drinks and great conversation, you ask me out on several more dates…
NOT: I slept over and wake up to you um pleasuring yourself, while I am still in your bed ‘sleeping’
I’m still scarred.
Ha! What a funny list. You’re hilarious.
HOT: taking care of your body.
NOT: getting a huge neck and then bragging about it.
These are too funny. I cannot believe someone actually stole the sucker (what I call lollipops) from your mouth and put it in his mouth…that’s worse than a turn-off..that’s like ”walk away and don’t look back” bad, haha.
These are amazing!
Hot: asking a girl to a fancy dinner
Not: asking her to pick up the bill when the check arrives
