Datingapps: Can’t live with them, can’t live without them.
Well, SELF asked to hear your dating app horror stories, and you guys answered.
Below are some upsetting, embarrassing, and generally terrible online dating tales SELF readers experienced IRL.
So the next time you go on a seriously awful date you’ll know that you’re not alone.
We’re right here with you.
The guy who really likes spreadsheets.
“-Jo, 22
The cheater.
“I met a guy on Tinder and drove to a different state just to meet up with him.
“-Ellen, 22
The long-lost creeper.
“-Amanda, 23
The “dynamic duo.”
Which one is it?
Then another replied, ‘What Alan said.’
Apparently, they were friends who happened to be together when I messaged them both the same thing!
I was mortified, so I blocked themit was the first thing I could think to do.
“-Veronica, 22
The guilt-tripper.
I was a few beers and a couple hours in when I decided to call it a night.
“-Shauna, 23
The absolutely ugh-worthy.
Then one day, a guy messaged me, ‘$300.00?’
That was it.Thatwas his opening line.
I’m sorry, but implying I’m a prostitute is going to get you nowhere.
“-Emily, 22
The one-upper.
Then he made a big deal about telling me his, which was 50 points higher.
OK, cool, whatever.
The next day I looked up his name in our database.
DENIED with an SAT score waaaaay below what he’d told me!
“-Jessi, 25
The guy who bet on his own date, March Madness-style.
I went into the bathroom, called my roommate, and had her come get me.
Haven’t online-dated since.
“-Christen, 27
The guy with conveniently bad timing.
“-Michelle, 24
And one bonus heartwarming tale for the road from #teamSELF.
“I matched with a guy on Bumble, and we arranged to meet at a Mexican restaurant.
About halfway to him, I just…fall.
Broken shoe and everything.
What a time to be alive.
“-SELF’s very own Jocelyn, 22
