Yahoo Autos 28 Completely Heinous Stories That Prove "The Ick" Is Real And Wreaking Havoc On The World Of Dating
We all know the feeling of being absolutely smitten over a new crush, and we all, unfortunately, know the feeling when said crush does something to completely ruin the fantasy.

Recently, we've begun referring to this feeling as getting "the ick," but it's a concept that's been around since the first single-celled organism crushed on the one other single-celled organism.
So I asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell me their stories about a time their crush went from Hot Stuff™ to totally undatable, and their answers did NOT disappoint.
1."I went out with this guy who was so handsome, politically intelligent and aware, and we had great conversation. We started messing around and I took him up to my room. He was incredible at everything. He picked me up, turned me around, bent me over, but then he MEOWED. I was just so shocked I didn’t even know what to do."

2."They cropped my best friend from a group picture because my friend didn't match their instagram aesthetic."

3."A fully grown, adult man refused to eat vegetables, 'except shrimp sometimes.' When I pointed out shrimp isn’t a vegetable, he said he didn’t care about what they were, he 'considered them to be vegetables.'
He would pick through meals and separate out any vegetables he could find in his food and if he didn’t have a side plate, he’d put them on the bare table. The final straw was when he spent 20 minutes picking finely chopped onions out of a piece of meatloaf — at that point, just don’t eat it."
4."We were out on a date and he spit his gum into a cloth napkin."

5."On our third date he pronounced Valentine’s as 'Valen-times.' Attraction immediately gone."

6."In college I brought the guy I was dating home to stay with my family during Christmas. One night while we were having drinks and playing a board game, he and my dad made the same joke and laughed the same way.
That was it. I didn't want to kiss him after that. I took him to the airport at the end of the trip and broke up with him about four days later when I got back to school."

7."He was mad that the new Little Mermaid has a Black lead."
8."I was a high school freshman and he was a sophomore. I thought he was sooo cool, calm, and collected. A brooding type but also on the water polo team, so a typical attractive jock.
But one time during P.E. class I saw him play dodgeball. He kept trying to dodge all the balls Matrix style, dramatically bending backward while still trying to keep a cool brooding face… The secondhand embarrassment was strong. I remember telling my nearby friends ‘I think I changed my mind about him.’ 😆"
9."He used to play off memes he saw online as his own jokes/thoughts. Major cringe."
10."He said he didn't believe in evolution, because 'DNA doesn't work that way.' He also believed that an animal called a 'Bunkey' exists, which is a bunny crossed with a monkey. He even showed me pictures that only exist on very sketchy sites. He was smoking hot, but he seemed so unattractive after I found out what's going on in his head. 😬"

11."I was 25 and had a major crush on a guy who was 15–20 years my senior and worked in a different department in my work's building. He finally asked me out and we went on one date, which was going OK until we swung by his apartment.
He had an enlarged, almost poster-size photo on his wall of him standing with some buddies. They were all totally naked except for socks on their... you know. Crush totally vanished after that. Just... WTF?"
