Share some of the worst online dating stories.

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.

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 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 once went on an online date with someone who lied about their job. They said they were a successful lawyer but in reality, they worked part - time at a fast - food joint. And they were so full of themselves during the date, talking about their 'big cases' which were all made up. It was a huge let - down.

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 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.

Sure. There was a couple who arranged a date online. One thought they were meeting at a coffee shop at 3 pm and the other thought it was 5 pm. When the person who arrived at 3 pm didn't see the other, they left after waiting for an hour. And the one arriving at 5 pm was so confused when they found no one there. All because of miscommunication in the online dating chat.

One common online dating scam story is when the scammer pretends to be a wealthy individual working overseas. They build an emotional connection with the victim, then start asking for money for various reasons like a business emergency or medical issue for a family member. Eventually, they disappear with the money.

Well, here's one. My friend met a guy on a dating app. They chatted for weeks and really hit it off. When they finally met in person, the guy brought her favorite flowers. They ended up dating for a year. It was a really sweet story.

One of the weirdest online dating stories I've come across was when a man thought he was chatting with a single woman. When they met for a date, she showed up with her seven - year - old son and her mother. It was supposed to be a romantic date, but it ended up being more like a family gathering. Another story involves a guy who would only communicate through emojis on the date. He wouldn't speak at all, just pointed at things and showed emojis on his phone. And there was a girl who went on a date with a guy who was obsessed with collecting toenail clippings. He started showing her his collection during the date, which was extremely gross.
