I was speaking to someone from Tinder since Feb(ish) and we had planned to meet up in March but then lockdown in the U.K. came into place. We messaged everyday and sent Snapchats but I always wondered why all his pics were from the same angle/not showing much of his face. I tried not to be a shallow person so continued speaking etc and “personality over looks” kind of person.
We arrange to have a socially distanced date when we could go to the park leisurely and it also happened to be the day after my birthday. He had told me how he was so excited to meet me and he had “so many surprises”, including flowers, chocolates and more. I turn up on the day and I see him from afar and I was shocked. Trust your gut instinct when you see pics and it’s just part of their face in certain angles. He didn’t try to dress up at all and he wore a tracksuit on a really hot day! I was in a dress. He had no surprise gifts or anything with him so I felt like he lied to me to come and meet him. His surprise place he took me for lunch was the KEBAB SHOP.
I wasn’t expecting a 3 course meal but for someone who was telling me they’d give me the world, I couldn’t even finish my kebab because I wanted to go home so badly.

Dunno if this is gonna sound a bit mean but for me I thought it was rather strange...
I was on hinge for a little while before meeting my current boyfriend and I did the usual, matching- sometimes exchanging numbers- little chat on WhatsApp and then usually not amounting to much!
this happened with a guy, who I think we spoke ONCE briefly on WhatsApp after a short back and forth on hinge.
probably about a year and a half or two years later.. he popped up again (I didn't even recognise who he was from his picture, had no recollection of him tbh) it was a really long detailed message about how he was still thinking about me and there was an exhibition he saw that he would really love to go and see and he thought it would be up my street too. and if I would like to go with him to it.
Now I was sooo confused and genuinely don't even remember talking to him properly before
maybe he got me mixed up with someone else..but he did use my name so..
just one of a few odd encounters I've had!

I met a guy off tinder once, we went for a drink at a local pub half way and it was really nice, we did similar jobs so had loads in common, second date was great too had more drinks and more of a night out, third date he picked me up straight from work and went out for lunch... all going well, he was showing me something on his phone and I noticed he had porn hub as one of his favourites saved! I was a bit like 
but laughed it off as most guys probs have this! He was always a bit quiet on message and I never felt like he was that interested but thought it could just be him... one Friday evening he told me he was going out with some mates, didn’t think much of it.. 3am comes and someone’s banging on my front door (I live with my mum), my mum ran to the door worried it was a relative or something urgent and shouted who is it. “It’s your daughters friend” I instantly recognised the voice. I was mortified and terrified. He only dropped me home once and he lived far away so had no idea how he remembered. He was messaging to let him in, I hardly knew him at this point. I sent a text saying leave right now or I’m calling the police. Didn’t dare open the door. He disappeared and sped off, clearly drunk driving! He hit something driving off as it made a loud bang. Think it was a bin or a kerb or something. We went back to sleep and the next morning I text saying what was that about and he apologised and said we should just leave it... I was happy about that. A while later he randomly text saying he had issues with alcohol and his mental health and he was really sorry for scaring me and my mum. Never spoke since. Really put me off online dating, although months later I met my current boyfriend on POF and we’ve been together 10 months and he’s amazing.

I have many bad date stories but I’ll share a couple of the funnier ones - I started chatting to a guy on a dating site and agreed to meet him for lunch. We met at a pub and he asked if he could hug me and then before I could answer he grabbed me in a sort of death grip (my arms were by my sides) and held on for way longer than was comfortable. I think he was also sniffing my hair.
He had a very thick Irish accent so was difficult to understand but the gist of his conversation was that he tried to be a gentleman and always pay for dinner but that no women wanted to see him after date 1. I definitely didn’t and so I was more than happy to pay for my meal! He got up and said he needed to go to the toilet, and I watched him go in the opposite direction to where the toilets were which I thought was a mistake, but then he just sort of stood behind a pillar. I got my phone out to text my flatmate about what a weirdo he was and then he sort of jumped out and came back to the table saying he thought I was going to do a runner. I told him that wasn’t my style and he said he knew it wasn’t. He then sat back down and finished his drink. I thought it was odd that he’d not been the the loo but guessed maybe it was some kind of weird test. Once we paid we stood up to leave and that’s when I realised that he’d actually wet himself at the table... He must have needed the loo but been too scared to go
We walked outside and then he asked me if I’d like to come and have a lay down in the park with him. It was February. And raining. I said no thanks and that I needed to get home. I walked in one direction (the opposite to him) and headed to the tube. Got to the platform and realised that he had followed me (he’d lived close to the pub we met hence him choosing it) which was weird so decided to walk to the opposite platform and again he followed. Got on the tube in the opposite direction I wanted and then at the last minute jumped off at the next stop. I just caught his expression as the tube pulled away - confused and crestfallen. I think perhaps he was hoping he could follow me all the way home.
Had been chatting to the second guy for a week or so and we’d arranged to meet for a drink on the Sunday. We lived fairly close to one another and on the Sat I’d had a bit of an all-day drinking session with my flatmate. At some point late in the day he’d texted to say he was in my local area and we ended up meeting for a drink. Honestly don’t remember much about it - I was hammered - but woke up the next day to a text saying he was hungover but still fancied meeting for the proper date.
I turned up and he was very much not what I was expecting - shorter than me (a lot of men lie about their height) and quite a bit heavier than his photos which he admitted were a little out of date. His chat was awful - just went on and on about his job, politics, money etc. I’d had enough and wanted out so texted my friend to call me so I’d have an out.
Ten mins later I get the call from my friend and went through with our usual routine “oh no, what a nightmare... Yes, I’ll come back straight away!” Told this guy I was sorry but something bad had happened - my flatmate had started a small fire in our flat - and I needed to leave. He then looked at me for about a minute and said “Sex and the City right? You don’t remember that you told me last night that if you’re on a date you hate you get your friend to pretend something bad’s happened?” Awkward! Didn’t know what to say so I sort of snorted uncomfortably and then left

This made me laugh!
Dated a guy from a well known app after coming out a loong relationship. First couple of dates went well. Went to his house for the 3rd date (nothing like that happened thank god). Upon heading home, he was driving me to the tube, I made the mistake of standing behind him as he locked the front door and he let out the loudest, wettest fart. Admittedly I was a bit shocked, but figured “everyone does it”. We got in the car, I had to crack a window (in February) the smell was like something had died in his colon. I jokingly asked if he’d sh*t himself. He seemed unsure and said he’d have to check when he got home. Said our goodbyes, got on the tube. I then got a very excited call upon exiting the tube with him on the other end letting me know that he had not sh*t himself.
Jesus. Did you see him again?
And people say romance is dead.
how the hell would someone think this is okay on an early date (or ever tbh..)?!
So I’m not actively online dating. I have accounts for tinder, hinge and happen but nothing else. Was seriously freaked out this week because I’ve been getting emails from plenty of fish. I must have received 50 over the course of yesterday before I managed to get in touch with customer service. Not only had I not made an account but also the account that was made was using the US version with a phone number and everything. Seriously freaked out because my email involves my name- I have a really unique name and there is very little chance it’s a typo or someone who has the same name. Haven’t been able to access the account to see what was in it or if someone was actively using it. Made my skin crawl.
He sent me a photo of his penis, flaccid.
I’m going on a socially distanced walk tomorrow with a guy off bumble... and I really cannot be bothered 
So you're standing him up?I’m going on a socially distanced walk tomorrow with a guy off bumble... and I really cannot be bothered
No, I’m going to meet him. I know once I’m there, I will probably have fun. I think it’s more I have the fear he won’t like me
