What are the most unexpected things that can happen in crazy online dating stories?

One bizarre thing is when people lie about their age. I knew someone who thought they were dating a 30 - year - old, but in person, the person looked much older. Another is when people use really old photos that don't represent how they look now at all. It can be quite a shock when you meet.

One unexpected story is that a man went on an online date. He showed up at the meeting place, and the woman he was supposed to meet had brought her pet snake along. She expected him to be okay with it, but he was terrified of snakes. Another is when a couple met online and during their first date, the girl started speaking in a completely different language that she had never mentioned before. It was really strange.

There are some cases where people get catfished not just with appearance but also with their whole identity. They build up this false persona, like they are a successful businessperson or a famous artist. And the person on the other end falls for it completely. Then when the truth comes out, it can be really devastating for the one who was deceived. It shows how important it is to be cautious in online dating.

There are also times when people accidentally send the wrong message. Like a man was trying to be flirty and sent a really cheesy pickup line to the wrong person on the dating app. And that person replied with a really sarcastic comment. It was a funny exchange that the man still tells as a joke.

One common crazy element is unexpected long - distance relationships. People from different parts of the world meet online and somehow make it work against all odds. Another is when people discover really strange or unique hobbies of their partners early on. For example, one might find out the other is into extreme taxidermy. Also, there are cases where the first date is something completely out of the ordinary like going on a hot air balloon ride or a midnight swim in a freezing lake.

One common embarrassing thing is when there are technical glitches during a video date. For example, the camera freezes and you end up with a really funny, distorted face on the screen. Another is when you accidentally send a message meant for someone else to your online date. It can be really awkward.

Technical glitches can be a nightmare in online dating. For example, your camera might show something in the background that you didn't want your date to see, like a messy room. Or your microphone might pick up some strange background noises that you can't control. Also, when you first meet in person after chatting online, realizing that you look very different from your profile pictures can be quite embarrassing. Your date might be visibly disappointed or shocked, and it can make the whole encounter very awkward.

There was a case where two people met through online dating. They were from different countries. They decided to meet halfway for a date. But when they met, they realized they couldn't communicate at all because they had been using translation apps online which made their conversations seem seamless before. It was a total disaster as they just stared at each other not knowing what to do.

On dating apps, funny things happen when people try to be too cool or mysterious. There was a story where a guy would only send one - word replies like 'Yes', 'No', 'Maybe'. The girl he was chatting with thought it was some sort of game and started replying in emojis only. When they finally met, they both burst out laughing about their strange texting pattern. Also, the accidental double - booking of dates is quite funny. A person might forget they already had a date set and schedule another one at the same time, leading to a chaotic and comical situation.

One crazy story is that a girl thought she was chatting with a handsome young man on an online dating app. But when they finally met, it turned out to be a middle - aged man who had used a fake photo. He tried to convince her that he was the same person in the photo just a bit older due to 'hard times'. It was really awkward and the girl left immediately.
