What are your bugbears?

[Sasha13]

What things really annoy you about people when you start out in a new relationship (i.e. not at the stage where you've slept together - maybe at the first/second date stage)? For me, it's blokes that can't spell (which you see when they text you). It really annoys me!! I have no idea why!

wyh deos it mater deos anee 1 spel rite on teaxt

[crete]

sey, they do.

[Sasha13]

No, I don't mean text speak necessarily - I mean when someone types gorgous or there (when they mean their) - stuff like that!!

[scrumpy78]

When they don't respond to your texts, i.e playing hard to get

[mrknowall]

If the guy loves you and treats you well thats all that counts.You will find worse things when you live together.
I will have to hold my hand up im one of them guys too lol

[Sasha13]

Yeah, I know and it doesn't stop me wanting to get to know someone, it just grates on me a bit.

Good spelling's what I look for in a girl too Sasha, you can never trust a girl that can't spell, first they'll be writing quite instead of quiet and then they'll be getting your marriage annulled because their name on the wedding certificate doesn't match the name on their passport. You're right to be annoyed, I'd jump ship quick-smart if I were you....

What really annoys me are people whose grammar is incorrect and who write " blokes that can't spell" instead of "blokes WHO can't spell". I was taught that you use "WHO" when referring to people and "THAT" when referring to other inanimate objects/situations !!

[opra winfrey]

I dont place importance on spelling primarily.
I believe we each need to come to the place where we feel we are complete in ourselves. For me that comes from knowing who I am and what my place is... in relation to the rest of humanity and the world of nature. It is a feeling of being at ease in my own skin. I tell you that I have lived long enough to know that others cannot assuage our loneliness.

[opra winfrey]

Could even be "blokes whom are unable to spell correctly".

[whiffey]

Oh dear opra, that is a terrible grammatical boo-boo.

It could never be whom.

[wizard69]

If I had a date with a girl that started talking about star signs I'd be off like sh!t off a shovel

[Sasha13]

LOL WendyS - surely then I'm right when you think that most blokes don't seem to be human!!

I stand corrected!!!!
