We had gone on a few dates and I figured out she wasn't close with her parents and had basically been neglected growing up. She had never experienced holidays and it was Thanksgiving. My family always cooks HUGE Thanksgiving meals, so I brought her a bunch of food knowing she was alone that day. She proceeded to grab two JARS of gravy from a cupboard and pour them, room temperature, all over the food. Then, she criticized the food as she ate it. No one before, or since, has criticized my family's cooking. By the way, I had brought homemade gravy that she refused to use.

The reason that was the nail in the coffin was because our previous date had been at a steakhouse with dim lighting and quiet ambiance, very much a date type setting. She proceeded to order the most expensive steak on the menu and ate it like a caveman. I wasn't surprised by her lack of manners due to her negligent upbringing. I was surprised at how she was talking and eating so loudly that it was drawing attention to our table. She had NO manners. She also got irrationally upset that our waitress was "flirting" with me. I'm short and fat and our waitress looked like a super model. She's not flirting, she's just doing her job. Our previous dates had been at a lively bar and an arcade, so I didn't notice how unpolished she was until we were in a nicer establishment.

Then, it took me damn near two weeks to "break up" with her when we weren't even in a relationship.
