I heard of a date where the couple went to a restaurant. Mid - way through the meal, the guy started arguing with the waitress over a small mistake in the order. He was so rude and aggressive that it made the whole date really uncomfortable. It turned out he had a very short temper and couldn't handle small inconveniences well.
One common theme is dishonesty. Like in the case where people lie about their appearance or their job. Another theme is bad behavior, such as being rude to waitstaff during a date which shows a lack of respect. Also, over - clinginess can be a theme, where one person doesn't respect the other's personal space and makes the date feel suffocating.
One horror dating story I heard was when a girl went on a date with a guy she met online. He took her to a really strange, isolated place. The whole time he was acting really creepy, talking about his obsession with death. She got so scared that she made an excuse to call a friend and had her friend come pick her up right away.
One horror story is about a girl who met a guy on an app. He seemed nice at first. They planned to meet. When they did, the guy was completely different. He was rude and tried to control where she went. She felt really scared and had to make an excuse to leave early.
One horror story is about a girl who met a guy on a dating app. He seemed normal at first but when they met in person, he was extremely possessive. He didn't let her talk to other people at the coffee shop and started yelling when she tried to leave. Another is a guy who found out the girl he was dating from the app was using his identity to borrow money from his friends without his knowledge.
First, always video chat before meeting in person. This way, you can make sure the person looks like their pictures. Second, meet in a public place, like a coffee shop or a mall. Avoid going to their place or a secluded area right away.
To avoid bad experiences on dating apps, you need to be really cautious. When chatting with someone on the app, look for red flags like if they are overly pushy to meet or if they avoid answering certain questions about themselves. Also, before meeting, have a video call. This can help you confirm that the person is who they say they are. Another important thing is to trust your gut. If something feels off, don't go through with the date. In addition, it's wise to let a friend know where you are going and who you are meeting.
A common one is catfishing. People use fake pictures and false information to attract others. Another is people being overly pushy on the first date, like trying to kiss or get too physical too soon. And some users experience dates who talk only about themselves and show no interest in getting to know the other person.
One horror story is when a guy on POF said he was single but turned out to be married. He lied about his relationship status just to have some extra flirting. Another is a girl who met a guy who seemed nice at first but during the date, he started making really inappropriate and rude comments about other people in the restaurant. It was so embarrassing.
Well, I once had a date from OkCupid that was just a nightmare. The person I was supposed to meet was completely different from their profile picture. They were also very rude during the date. They made inappropriate comments about other people around us and seemed to have no manners at all. I couldn't wait for the date to end.
