Share your NPR online dating story.

My scary online dating story involves a person who was overly possessive from the very start. After just a few messages, he started acting like we were in a serious relationship. He would get angry if I didn't reply right away. When we finally met, he tried to control everything we did. He didn't like me talking to other people at the coffee shop we went to. It was really suffocating, and I had to end things there and then. I learned to be more cautious about people's behavior early on in the online dating process.

Well, once I met a guy on a dating app. His profile picture was really nice, so I agreed to meet him. But when we met in person, he looked nothing like his picture. He was also super rude and kept talking about himself the whole time. He didn't even ask me a single question about myself. It was a total disaster.

Well, mine was simple. I met my partner on an online dating app. We just had a great conversation right from the start. Our interests matched, and we decided to meet in person. It was a bit nerve - wracking at first, but when we saw each other, it felt like we'd known each other for ages. And now we're happily together.

Well, once I met a guy online. He said he was really into fitness. But when we met in person, he was nothing like his pictures. He was much older and out of shape. He also talked non - stop about himself and didn't seem interested in getting to know me at all.

Well, once I matched with a guy who claimed to be a fitness enthusiast. His profile picture was super muscular. But when we met in person, he was a bit chubby. He said the picture was from 5 years ago. It was so unexpected yet hilarious.

My online dating story started with a bit of hesitation. I wasn't sure if it would work out. I joined an online dating site and started browsing through profiles. I sent a message to someone whose profile seemed really appealing. To my surprise, they replied quickly. We talked about our hobbies, dreams, and past experiences. However, after a few weeks, we realized that we lived too far apart to make a relationship work, so we ended it amicably.

Well, once I showed up to meet my online date at a coffee shop. I accidentally spilled coffee all over myself right as I was about to introduce myself. It was so embarrassing, and my date just stared in shock.

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.

A friend of mine had a bad experience. She met a guy on an online dating platform. The guy's profile picture was really attractive. But when they met, he looked nothing like the picture. He had used a very old and flattering photo. On top of that, during their date, he only talked about himself the whole time, his ex - girlfriends, his problems at work, and didn't show any interest in my friend at all.

There was this one time I was chatting with a guy online. He seemed normal at first. When we met for coffee, he started talking in a really strange accent that he hadn't used before. And then he told me he was a vampire hunter. He even showed me his 'vampire hunting kit' which was just a bunch of random things in a box. It was so absurd and hilarious, yet also a bit of a horror as I worried about his sanity.
