50 Horror Stories That Might Make You Want To Delete Dating Apps Altogether

In a list

1. They lied about not being on medication (manic). They needed bail money because of resisting charges. NOPE!
2. Lied about children. Had two and one on the way (4 months). Bio dad got deported and she didn't want to go back to her country. I understood her situation but too much baggage for the first date.
3. proudly displayed SH scars and described why they were done. Some due to exes. NOPED OUT.
4. Said an emotional relationship to marriage needed to happen within 6 months. A little fast but seemed like the norm in the family. I can't put a time frame on it but she was fixated on it. Left before getting attached.
5. Lied about gender Identity. I get it, honestly, I do. But no one likes being led on only to be put in an on/off scenario and then I am deemed "the bad guy" for not wanting to support the decision. Very confusing time to be honest. Went full cold turkey.
6. Wanted everything income-based, requested criminal record, must have 800 credit score, wanted only to be a SATM, wanted a drafted will within the first year. HELL NOPED SO FAST.
7. Never said a word during the first date not even a reaction. Hard to read the room and keep a conversation going if they aren't interested. Afterward, I let her know that I enjoyed her company but I don't think it'll work out. There was plenty of time for her to answer and continue topics but nope didn't happen. She got depressed and blamed me for it according to her mom who messaged me. I was stunned, to be honest. Weird feeling.
8. She ate half my dinner (Plus hers) and I paid for it. I only ate the salad side which got cold. Wanted another meal to take home. Turns out she was living in her car and used dating apps as meal tickets. Substance abuse is just sad and baggage was really heavy. Easy call-off. She wasn't even bothered and said "Perfect this makes it easy then".

I have had pretty good luck with dating apps. I did meet a woman that had just been released from jail after 20 years for killing her abusive husband. She seemed cool though. Very healthy and spicy.

Girl in picture looked normal. We met in person and she had no teeth. Seems weird that teeth in a picture is a prerequisite now.

Oof. met up with a guy, got drugged and woke up in a town like 40 minutes from where we were with my phone stolen, got home to log onto tinder to message him wtf happened and he had my account reported and taken down.

met with a nurse, had a nice time. then later learned he doesn’t know what no means.

went out a few times with another guy, the last time we decided to go hang at his place which turned out to be the shed in his parents back yard.

but i also met my husband and father of my child lol

edit: typo.

First date I went on with this guy we went to a breakfast place. Had the personality of a wet newspaper, no hobbies, and he smelled like moldy laundry. He ordered a short stack of pancakes with NOTHING and water. NOTHING ON HIS PANCAKES! No butter, no syrup, no powdered sugar, no jelly, no fruit, no whipped cream, NOTHING.

I got cat fished, but it was more so she was using older pics. I stayed for the coffee date and had a lovely conversation. But when it was time to go, she like lunged at me and went for a kiss. She missed mostly and we just kind of said nothing and parted ways lol.

Literal zero response from anyone ever.

As always, it started with good banter via the app. I made a small penis joke which made her weirdly excited? Over dinner she tells me it’s because she has a medically too tight vagina that could only accommodate a small d**k which sadly I lack. Date was over, I offered to drop her off at her place. turns out she lived with her mom—not an indictment but was not prepared to meet mom on the first date. But I do and I’m feeling super uncomfortable so I say my goodbyes but just as I leave she starts feeling horribly nauseous. Turns out she’s super lactose intolerant and was reacting to the cheese-based appetizer that SHE ORDERED. She also had an extreme fear of vomit so she started having a panic attack. I offer to drive her to the pharmacy and I’m telling u she had zero clue what to look for—didn’t know what the word “antacid” meant or what Tums were so I had to buy everything. I drop her off the second time and wait for the tums to kick in before I got up to leave. I’m at the door and she looks at me with genuine confusion and says “but wait….u don’t wanna stay over? I was gonna suck ur d**k….” I said, “it’s 3:30am—goodnight!” Next morning I wake up to a million texts asking me if I liked her and why I was ignoring her. The whole experience made me realize how desperate I had been and how the apps played into that.

Matched with someone and agreed to go out after I got out of work. She was an hour late, texting me updates like "running late...doing my hair...be there soon, etc." S**t happens, I can wait. Then she sent me a picture from outside the bar with my back turned, saying she was outside. I went to where the picture was taken, and she wasn't there. Decided I was tired of being f****d with, and told her I'm leaving, and she seemed disappointed. Told her I'd be down to try again, but nothing happened.

I had a guy steal my laptop and phone. We finished, he went to the bathroom and got dressed. He ran out and grabbed my stuff which was right by the door and ran. I learned my lesson.

Honestly meeting people who i vibed well with and could really see myself dating, only to eventually find that it just wasn't there. it turns out that's a lot harder than the standard dating app b******t. really makes you question whether you will find "it".

kw0711: Same for me - great first couple dates, sometimes even hook up, and then she makes no real effort to take things to the next level or sometimes just ghosts. Just makes you feel like you’ll never be good enough.

secondhand_bra: Ya man, it really hurts when the date goes extremely well, and they start ghosting you like it literally physically hurts. Has happened twice only but I felt like s**t. Felt like they used me just to entertain themselves.

Got into a ferris wheel with a chick who started discussing her mlm scheme. Longest 20minutes of my life and to top it off, I tried to change the conversation to mangoes and how amazing they are. She said she hated them and continued her spiel. ugh.

Just how they kinda grind away at your soul or self esteem.

lnx84: Yeah, this is it. I went into it a year ago, knowing full well it's a terrible place and mentally prepared, and it's fine for a while, but the extreme shallowness, constant rejection, and never feeling good enough wears you down with time, no matter what. I deleted it a few months later and have resorted to just being happily single now.

Ugh.

I was catfished. He took photos from strategic angles and lighting that implied he was taller and more muscular AND lied about his height (several inches!!!). He ended up being a totally thin dude that weighed maybe 90 pounds and shorter than me (I think he was 5’3” that DIDN’T EVEN LIVE IN THE COUNTRY. Yup, he was just visiting and he never mentioned it until the date even though we talked for about two weeks.

Also HORRIBLE driver, didn’t speak much English (he was using google to text and translate). I made do with Spanish since he mainly spoke Portuguese but even THEN he was horrible at making conversation. It was absolute silence unless I asked something.

Also, we get to the restaurant (he invited me for dinner and drinks) and said he wasn’t hungry and didn’t want to drink…so I say f**k that I’m eating cus I’m starving and I am inhaling my food so we can leave but as I am just about done he says he’s now hungry and would like a drink!! Took about 4 trips of the server coming back and answering questions for him to just get the same drink and entrée I ordered.

At the end of the meal he said he forgot his wallet then asked me if I wanted to get dessert afterwards and have a 2nd date. Like excuse me?

It’s June, 2013, I’m 22m.

Met for BBT with a girl I’d been talking to for a couple of days. We hit it off pretty well. Like 3 hours non stop talking. The I asked her if she was in school or working? She goes “oh yeah I’ll be back in school in September @ (local high school). I go “oh like as a TA?” And she’s drops the bombshell of “oh no lol, I’m going INTO GRADE 11”.

instantly picked up my remaining BBT, wallet, keys, got up, got in my car and left.

Chris Hansen will NOT be seeing me anytime soon.

Getting catfished, one girl used images from 15 years ago and lied about her age and 200 lbs.

On the other hand I did meet my wife on tinder and we have two kids, been married 6 years.

Hooked up with a guy who didn’t disclose he had herpes until a couple hook ups in.

The whole damn thing honestly, ghosting, cheating, pretty sure the only thing I have gotten out of this whole experience is depression, trust issues, and budding alcoholism. I have no clue why I bother continuing to try.

I matched with a girl once, she waited five days to respond only to tell me "i look like warmed over s**t" and then blocked me.

Got catfished by the same dude twice lol , very dark period in my life.
