Reddit userCatSk8Scratchaskedthe AskReddit community, “What’s your worst Tinder experience?”
Unsurprisingly,a lotof people had odd, messy, and cringeworthy Tinder stories to share.
Here’s what people revealed:
1.

My profession was listed on my profile.
We had dinner a few times (he wasn’t giving off any red flags, etc.
), and then he ghosted me (or so I thought).

He told me he had roommates and we had to be quiet, and I said fine.
We end up falling asleep.

He didn’t have roommates.
He lived with his parents.

“We never made it out of the driveway.
I even asked if he had kids when we were messaging, and he denied it.
I asked him about it then and there, and the guy broke down crying.

I told him that I wasn’t about to be a pawn.
I shut the door and walked back into my house.
Two weeks later, he sent me a nasty message asking me why we never went on a date.

“I drove 45 minutes to meet her at a nice restaurant.
She kept texting that she was on her way.

I walked out after waiting at the bar for an hour.
When I walked out, she texted me and asked me where I was going.
I think she was watching me the whole time and didn’t approach.

“One of his first questions was if I lived with my parents.
But I was wrong.

That’s not why he was asking.
I never replied.”

“Many years ago, I went to a guy’s house after a date.
He had a family member sleeping in the living room a few feet away.
There weresomany roaches in the bathroom.
I slowly ghosted him, and we remained connected online, but I never spoke to him again.
Deleted all dating apps after that.”

“I went out with this guy who seemed pretty smart and nice.
He talked about great authors, art, and literature, so I was a bit impressed.
The first date was okay, but he bluntly said, ‘Sorry for not kissing you.
I’ve been told I’m a bad kisser and dumped over it.’
He also let an ‘I love you’ slip out, but it was clearly an accident.
So I was like, okay, not a good start, but I kept talking to him.
“During the whole car ride, he was a completely different person.
He put his music obnoxiously loud and didn’t engage with me.
I was the one who ‘didn’t get it.’
I ran out of there fast.”

He introduced me as his girlfriend.
We had matched on Tinder three days prior, and it was our first time meeting in person.
Another time, a guy brought me to a brewery for dinner.

She got mad and said I didn’t want her.
I suggested we go out on Saturday.
She didn’t even tell me she couldn’t go out; she just cursed me out instead.
I tried to salvage the situation, but she wouldn’t listen.
I said yes, and then I never heard from her again.”

“I was supposed to meet a guy for coffee.
First, he said he was running late.
Then he said that he may or may not be coming; I would have to wait and see.
As I was leaving, I saw him with another girl at the cafe across the road.
u/EmDaae

Noped out of that situation pretty quickly.”
u/BoogieSmools
14.
He said something comfortable.
The man planned to surprise me by bringing me to a swingers sex club on our second date.”
u/UnderstandingOdd243

“‘Oh, let me add you to my Find My Friends app on my iPhone.'”
u/CastrosExplodinCigar

“This was my first ever match that resulted in a date.
That let me know at the start that this wouldn’t likely result in anything good.
u/slipperycarrots

“I met up with a guy in college and brought him to my dorm.
He did smell.”
u/AstronomerWeekly2331
20.
“We made plans to go and eat before a movie.
I was so confused and asked if I got the time mixed up.
I sat down for a few seconds and then got up and left without saying anything.”
u/arisferrarii
21.And: “I matched with this guy who seemed pretty normal.
We talked for a week or so and FaceTimed once.
Our work schedules lined up, and we decided to go to dinner.
Dinner started normally until I asked him about his past relationships and GOLLY.
After the date, I thoughtIwas in love with Madison!
He walked me to my car and asked how the date went.
He said thank you and immediately called her.”
