Remember when Tinder first came out back in 2012 and everything was new and exciting? Well, the excitement quickly faded for many people after having some fairly intense encounters with insatiable people who found it quite normal to hop around from person to person and all the while… well, just read and find out.
My Story:
It was during the early days of Tinder. I matched with this cute Russian guy and we kept hitting each other up when we were out but meeting up wasn’t work out for whatever reason, and I didn’t think anything of it because everyone was flaky.
He texted me to meet up on a Tuesday night when I was at happy hour with coworkers. I said fuck it, I’ll finally meet up with him in person. He met me at a bar and was actually super good looking, so I decided to have a few drinks with him. I ordered wine while he decided to POUND shots. Woah, there!
We walked into another bar and the moment after he steps inside, he immediately pulls me back outside.
“That bartender punched me in the face for hooking up with his girlfriend last week.” Ummmm…
Probably the most intense and obvious red flag ever! But, I was out and wanted another glass of wine, so I head to another bar with him.
Except he wasn’t.
Again, I ordered a glass of wine and he ordered fireball shots. It’s Tuesday, I’m tired, and so over it. I decided to leave and make my way outside to walk to my apartment. I look behind me and see him downing the rest of my glass of wine I left on the bar. Yikes! Definitely never wanted to see this dude again.
He texted me the next day to tell me he had fun and that he wanted to hang out again. Really, guy? I told him I wasn’t interested. Then he responds to ask me for an intro to my friend who he saw in one of my IG pics.
WOW – real winner! I ignored him and moved on with my life.
A couple weeks later, my phone continues ringing from some unknown number and I finally answer. On the other end, there is a SOBBING woman. Weird. She asked me how I knew Mike. Apparently, she had seen our conversation on his phone and asked if we had had sex.
It. Was. His. Mother-fucking. Fiancé!
I gave her the play by play of our interaction; from meeting her fiancé on tinder to him asking to be set up with my friend after me telling him I wasn’t interested. Poor girl – he’s The Ultimate Douchebag!
Definitely took a long break from Tinder after that experience.
