Share your POF online dating horror stories.

One horror story involves a couple who met on POF. The woman thought the man was single, but on their third date, his 'ex - wife' showed up at the restaurant and caused a huge scene. Turns out he was still legally married and had lied about the whole situation to the woman he was dating.

One horror story is when a guy on POF said he was single but turned out to be married. He lied about his relationship status just to have some extra flirting. Another is a girl who met a guy who seemed nice at first but during the date, he started making really inappropriate and rude comments about other people in the restaurant. It was so embarrassing.

There was this case where a couple met through POF in 2019. They seemed to get along well initially. But as they went on more dates, the guy started to get overly possessive. He would call and text constantly, and when she didn't respond right away, he would show up at her place unannounced. It was really scary for her and made her end the relationship quickly.

A frequent type of horror story is related to money. Some daters on POF might try to scam others, asking for money for various made - up reasons like a sick relative or a business emergency. And then there are the ones who expect the other person to pay for everything even though they presented themselves as equal partners before the date.

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.

A friend of mine had a bad experience. She met a guy on an online dating platform. The guy's profile picture was really attractive. But when they met, he looked nothing like the picture. He had used a very old and flattering photo. On top of that, during their date, he only talked about himself the whole time, his ex - girlfriends, his problems at work, and didn't show any interest in my friend at all.

There was this one time I was chatting with a guy online. He seemed normal at first. When we met for coffee, he started talking in a really strange accent that he hadn't used before. And then he told me he was a vampire hunter. He even showed me his 'vampire hunting kit' which was just a bunch of random things in a box. It was so absurd and hilarious, yet also a bit of a horror as I worried about his sanity.

There was a success story where a woman named Emily was a bit skeptical about online dating at first. But on POF, she met a man named Tom. They started off slow, just sharing little things about their days. As time went on, they discovered that they had a deep connection. They went through some tough times together even before they were officially in a relationship, like when Emily lost her job. Tom was there for her, and now they are happily engaged.

One key factor is honesty. When people are honest about who they are and what they want, it helps in finding a compatible match. For instance, if someone says they want a long - term relationship and is true to that, it's more likely to lead to success.

A common one is catfishing. People would use fake pictures and identities on POF in 2019. For example, a guy might think he's talking to a beautiful young woman but in reality, it's someone completely different who is just using a false image to deceive others.
