There was this situation where a girl thought she had found a great match online. But when they met in person, the guy turned out to be really pushy and wouldn't respect her boundaries. He kept trying to get too physically close even when she clearly said no. It was a scary and uncomfortable situation for her. Online dating can be a minefield sometimes.
One horror story is when someone met a date who looked nothing like their profile picture. It was really awkward and a total waste of time.
I heard of a case where a person went on an online date and the other person was extremely rude throughout the entire time. They made mean comments about the food, the place, and even the waiter. It was a horrible experience for the one who was looking forward to a nice date.
There was this guy who thought he had found the perfect match online. They had been talking for weeks. But on the date, the girl brought along her ex - boyfriend! She said she just wanted to make sure the new guy was better. It was so awkward and the poor guy felt like he had been used. This kind of situation is really among the worst in online dating.
One of the worst online dating stories I heard was when a girl showed up to a date and the guy she met was nothing like his pictures. He was at least 20 years older and about 50 pounds heavier. It was really a shock for her.
One common element is misrepresentation. Like people using old or heavily edited photos that don't look like them in real life. Another is dishonesty, such as hiding important facts like being married or having a criminal record.
Well, here's another one. A guy met a girl online. They agreed to meet at a coffee shop. When he got there, she showed up with a whole bunch of her friends unannounced. It was really strange as he thought it was just going to be the two of them. And her friends were just as invasive, asking him all sorts of personal questions.
One horror story is when a guy met someone online who seemed perfect at first. They planned a date, but when they met in person, the other person was extremely rude and judgmental about his appearance. He spent the whole date making mean comments.
One horror story could be when someone showed up on a date completely different from their profile picture. It was really a shock. They had used an old photo that made them look much younger and more attractive. The date was super awkward as the person had been misled by the false image.
A girl on OkCupid once went on a date with a guy she had been chatting with for weeks. He took her to a really seedy part of town without warning. When she expressed discomfort, he got angry and started yelling at her. She was terrified and had to find her own way home. It was a horrible experience that made her never want to use the app again.
For me, it's when you meet someone who has completely misrepresented themselves. Like they say they're single but actually they're in a relationship. It's a huge waste of time and can be really hurtful.
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.
One common horror story is catfishing. People pretend to be someone they're not on POF. They use fake photos and false information. Another is when dates turn out to be super pushy or creepy. For example, they won't take no for an answer when it comes to physical contact.
