I once met a person on a dating app who seemed really nice at first. We planned to meet at a coffee shop. But when I got there, the person looked completely different from the pictures. And they were extremely pushy about going to a more private place right away. I quickly made an excuse and left.
Well, I had a scary experience where the person I was chatting with on an online dating site started to ask really invasive questions about my finances. They seemed more interested in my money than getting to know me. When I refused to answer, they got angry and started sending mean messages. It was really off - putting.
There was this one time I went on a date with someone I met online. During the date, he started talking about his ex in a really obsessive and angry way. He was ranting about how she 'ruined his life' and his eyes had this wild look. I felt really uncomfortable and worried for my safety, so I ended the date early and blocked him from all my social media and the dating app.
One scary story is about a girl who met a guy on an internet dating site. He seemed nice at first, but when they met in person, he started acting really possessive and wouldn't let her leave the coffee shop without him. She finally managed to escape when she called the police.
I heard a story about a girl who was an online gamer. There was a guy in her guild who started to stalk her across different platforms. He found her Instagram from her gamer profile and began to leave disturbing comments on her pictures, saying things like he was watching her all the time. She had to change all her usernames and make her accounts private to get away from him. It's terrifying how easy it is for someone to cross boundaries on the internet.
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.
Dating a teacher is unethical and inappropriate in most educational settings. However, I once heard a story where a student had a crush on a teacher but it was just a one - sided admiration. The student realized it was wrong and focused on their studies instead.
In my opinion, a common scary aspect is the lack of real - life verification. You don't really know who the person is behind the screen. They could be a criminal or have some serious mental health issues. Some people also experience being catfished, which means being deceived by someone who pretends to be someone else entirely. This can be really distressing and make one feel very vulnerable in the world of internet dating.
One scary story is about a girl who met a guy on an online dating app. They seemed to hit it off and planned to meet. When they met, the guy was really pushy about going to a secluded place. She refused, but he got angry and started yelling. It was terrifying for her.
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.
My first date was at a small coffee shop. I was so nervous that I spilled my coffee all over the table as soon as I sat down. My date was really nice about it though and we ended up having a great conversation about our favorite books.
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.
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.
