When the date becomes a story to tell (or hide from the world). Get ready to laugh, identify with yourself and be thankful for not having gone through all of these.

Introduction

If you've ever arranged a date through a dating app, you know that anything can happen: from incredible moments to awkward situations that would make a great episode of a comedy series.

We separate here 7 Embarrassing (But Real!) Stories That Happened to People on Dating Apps. Some are funny, some are uncomfortable… but all are 100% relatable.

1. The Date That Took the Mother

“I arrived at the restaurant and the guy had his mother sitting at the table. He said she wanted to 'know my intentions'. I thought it was a prank.”

2. The Fake Profile of Your Ex

“I matched with a profile that seemed really good… until I realized it was my ex trying to 'test' me with photos of another guy.”

3. The Person Was 15 Years Older Than In The Photos

“The photos were from 2008. The person looked nothing like the images on the profile — and he even told me that it was just me being 'critical'.”

4. The Meeting That Became a Motivational Lecture

“I thought it would be a light drink. I spent 2 hours listening to about quantum entrepreneurship and how 'belief attracts results'.”

5. The Deadly Silence

“Online he was fun. In person, he was like an NPC. Everything I said, he would respond with 'uh-huh' or 'yeah'. I've never wished so much for the waiter to come over.”

6. The Person Tried to Sell Me a Course

“The conversation was going well, until it turned into a sales pitch for an investment course. And he even sent the link with the coupon.”

7. The Date You Thought Was on OnlyFans

“After 10 minutes, he was already asking absurd questions. He clearly confused a dating app with another platform.”
