.....are two of the most turn-off online dating phrases I've ever heard!

1) The persons who deliberately engage in those types of conduct will continue to do it, anyway! The ultimatum won't stop them!

2) It gives good ones the impression that you are still hurt, and the potential date may believe that past hurt will be taken out on him/her!

It also exposes the person who posts those phrases in their profile as someone for whom that kind of behavior is part of their life, so in essence it's a warning about them.

k Exactly what I was thinking. It's flagging that person as being prone to end up in drama-filled relationships.

sounds straight forward to me.. probably a bunch of people that aren't looking for a relationship and know that they surround themself with drama.

To me, it screams lack of basic social skills.

Agree with #2. They have previous baggage from someone, and they might take it out on you.

Also people that put in their profile, first thing they write - "Must be loyal, faithful, honest, transparent...." Sounds like this person was cheated on previously.

First and only thing you need to know here: Anybody who use the term "no drama" in their conversations is almost always the creator of drama, not its victim.

Or has chosen to assert a healthy boundary.

I particularly learned that stating it, followed by maintaining that healthy boundary HAS alleviated drama.

As for don't waste my time attitudes ...is it said with indifference? How is it meant?
I had a guy say that to me once and it made sense. It was basically his way of saying... Listen that circumstance is not mine to fix. So unfold that baggage and move on ...
That actually made sense then for him to say..'don't waste my time.'

And like they haven't yet dealt with it effectively and are kind of expecting the next person in their life to restore their faith in humanity. Yikes.

I always thought people used those phrases in relation to online dating... not relationships in general?

As in, no drama in our online dating interactions, and don't waste my time if I clearly state I don't want kids and you must be interested in a long-term relationship, and you have 17 kids and want to message me for a booty call only...
