Can you share a particularly bad online dating experience?

Yes. There was this lactation consultant who was judgmental. When a mother was having trouble breastfeeding, instead of being empathetic, she made the mother feel like it was her fault. She made comments about the mother's diet and lifestyle as if that was the sole reason for the breastfeeding problems, without considering other possible factors like the baby's tongue - tie or the mother's anatomy. This made the mother feel so bad about herself that she almost gave up breastfeeding altogether.

Sure. I heard about a woman who went on a date with a man she met online. During the date, he kept staring at her in a really intense way that made her uncomfortable. Then, he started talking about his ex - girlfriends in a very negative and obsessive way. He even mentioned how he 'dealt' with one of them when she tried to break up with him. It was so creepy that the woman made an excuse and left as soon as possible.

A sad online dating story I know is about a couple who met online. At first, everything was perfect. They dated for a while, and the guy was really in love. But then, the girl started to become distant. Eventually, she told him that she was still in love with her ex - boyfriend and was just using him to get over the breakup. The guy was crushed, as he had put so much of his heart into the relationship.

Sure. There was this guy who thought he met the perfect girl in Roblox for online dating. They planned to build a virtual house together. But then he found out that she was already in multiple relationships in the game at the same time. It was a shock to him and made him feel used and stupid.

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.

Firstly, be honest about yourself. If you're not, it's likely to lead to problems later. Also, don't rush into meeting in person. Take time to really get to know the person through chatting. And always meet in a public place for the first time.

A young couple had dreams of buying a new home and starting a family. However, the husband got involved in online gambling. He lost a large sum of money that was supposed to be for their down payment. As a result, their relationship became strained. They constantly argued about money and eventually split up. The husband was left with a lot of debt and a broken heart.

Sure. I once dated someone I met online. We had planned a nice dinner date. But during the date, he kept getting calls from his ex - girlfriend. It was clear he wasn't over her yet. It was really uncomfortable and I left early.

Sure. A girl I know went on an online first date. The guy she met seemed normal at first. But then he started making inappropriate comments about her appearance. He said things like she should dress more'sexy' for him. It was really disrespectful and made her very uncomfortable. She left the date early.

Sure. There was a group that got food poisoning from one of the food stalls in Disney World. They ate some burgers and fries, and a few hours later, they all started feeling sick. They had to spend the rest of their day in their hotel room, with stomach aches and other symptoms. It completely ruined their vacation plans for that day.
