I had an online date where the person had completely lied about their appearance. The photo they sent was clearly from years ago. They were much older and heavier in person. And on top of that, they had a really bad attitude when I seemed a bit disappointed. It was a disaster.
Well, I once had a date who showed up two hours late. When he finally arrived, he was on his phone the whole time, texting and not really paying attention to me at all. It was a total waste of my time.
In one of the stories, a girl met a guy on a dating site. He said he was a pilot. He sent her pictures of himself in a pilot's uniform. They talked about traveling the world together. But when she planned to surprise him at the airport where he said he worked, she couldn't find him. Later, she discovered the pictures were from a stock photo website. Another story could be about a man who was in touch with a woman who claimed to be a wealthy heiress. She asked him for money for a 'charity event' she was organizing. Turns out, she was just a con artist.
A frequent theme is miscommunication. Sometimes, people have different expectations for the date. One person might think it's a casual meet - up while the other is thinking it's a romantic evening. Also, there are those who are just using the online dating platform for something other than finding a relationship, like just getting a free meal or looking for someone to boost their ego.
Well, one story could be about a person who thought they were talking to a successful businessperson. They sent money for a so - called 'business emergency' but it turned out to be a catfish. Another might be a girl who was led to believe she was in a relationship with a model, only to find out it was a fake profile using stolen pictures. And there was a case where a man thought he met his soulmate online, but the 'person' he was chatting with was just trying to get his personal information for identity theft.
Sure. My friend met her soulmate through an online dating app. They started chatting about their shared love for hiking. After a few weeks of chatting, they decided to meet up for a hike. They hit it off instantly and now they are happily married.
Well, there was this other story. A girl matched with a guy on a dating app. They were chatting and the guy said he was a 'professional dog walker'. So when they met, he showed up with about ten dogs. It was chaos but also hilarious as they all tried to go into the restaurant together. They had to find an outdoor table just so the dogs could stay with them.
Sure. One success story is about my friend Lisa. She met her partner on a popular dating app. They started chatting, found they had a lot in common like a love for hiking and indie music. After a few months of dating, they are now happily married.
Well, I heard this story. A guy on an online dating app was chatting with a girl. They agreed to have a video call before meeting in person. During the call, the guy's cat suddenly jumped on his head and refused to get down. The girl thought it was hilarious and named the cat 'the third wheel'. They still went on a date later and that cat became a big part of their story.
Sure. One amazing story is about a couple who met on a language - learning app. They were both learning French. They started by correcting each other's grammar and pronunciation. As they chatted more, they found out they had a lot in common, like a love for old movies. Eventually, they met in person and are now happily married.
I've heard of a case where a couple met through online dating. They had been chatting for a while and seemed to be really interested in each other. However, when they finally met, the guy brought his mother along without telling the girl. His mother then started interrogating the girl about her family, job, and future plans, which made the girl extremely uncomfortable.
Well, I once heard about a girl who went on an online date. They planned to meet at a coffee shop. When she got there, the guy showed up with his pet parrot on his shoulder. He talked more to the parrot during the date than to her. It was so strange.
