Sure. I once dated someone I met online. We had planned a nice dinner date. But during the date, he kept getting calls from his ex - girlfriend. It was clear he wasn't over her yet. It was really uncomfortable and I left early.
I had a date where the person said they loved outdoor activities. So we went for a hike. But halfway through, they realized they had forgotten their water bottle and started complaining non - stop about being thirsty. Then they sat down on a rock and refused to move any further. It was supposed to be a fun day out, but it turned into a disaster. And to top it off, when we finally got back to the car, they blamed me for not bringing an extra bottle.
Sure. I met a woman online who seemed very interesting. We talked for weeks and decided to meet. But when we met, she was nothing like she presented herself. She was overly possessive right away, asking me really personal questions about my finances and who I had been with in the past. She also got angry when I didn't answer her texts immediately during the date. It was a nightmare and I ended the date as soon as I could.
Well, I once met a person online who seemed really nice at first. We talked for weeks. But when we finally decided to meet in person, they were completely different. They were rude and not at all like the person I had been chatting with. It was a total letdown.
One bad online dating story is when a guy I met online said he was 30 but in person he looked much older. He also lied about his job. He claimed to be a successful lawyer but actually worked part - time in a fast - food joint. It was really disappointing as I felt deceived right from the start.
One common online dating crime story is about catfishing. People pretend to be someone else entirely, using fake photos and false identities. They build relationships with victims, sometimes for financial gain. For example, they might ask for money for a supposed emergency. Another is the case of date rape. Some predators use online dating platforms to find victims. They meet up, spike their drinks, and then assault them. There are also stories of identity theft where scammers get personal information during the online dating process and use it to steal money or ruin the victim's credit.
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.
