Dating app horror stories

Gone are the days when you have to spend 2 hours chatting away to someone in a bar, only to realise that they are actually unavailable, and thought you just wanted a nice chat. With dating apps, you pretty much know that you’re onto a sure thing, and although it might not work out how you want it to, at least you know that the people you are talking to are at least interested in having a bit of fun.

 

While dating apps are wonderful for people meeting like-minded individuals and knowing loads about them before even meeting up; there is also a very dark, dark side to online dating. Of course, there are a lot of dangers related to online dating, meaning you should always meet in public places and never give your address away until you trust them. But that’s not the dark side we’re talking about here. It’s much more fun to look at all of those hilarious but horrific situations that arise through the courtesy of online dating.

 

Dishonest profile pictures – Okay, so everybody wants to use their best photos, but some people take it to a whole new level. Using a photo that is clearly from 10 years ago and when they still had all of their own teeth is just not on. In some cases, your date shows up, almost similar to their picture, but by some miracle, someone managed to take a flattering photo of them, when in reality, they look similar to a toad.

 

Height problems – Not everybody discloses their height, and this should set alarm bells ringing. If you’re looking for someone of around five ft 4 and your date has to duck through every doorway, then you’re probably not going to be well suited. Height issues are a very common problem, and it is hard to tell from photos alone.

 

Weird mannerisms – When you speak to someone via messaging or over the phone, it doesn’t prepare you for their physical attributes and mannerisms. If they have a really annoying habit of sucking their teeth or keep spitting at you when they talk, then this can be very off-putting - unless you’re into that kind of thing! You can quickly go off someone once you find one annoying thing and you can’t get it out of your head, no matter how hard you try.

 

To avoid the possibility of ending up in one of these awful situations, maybe you should switch your dating efforts over to Car Dating from Swansway Group, where alternatively, you can find your perfect motor match for the ride of your life.

 

Dating apps are complicated and painful, but cars are reliable and usually quite low maintenance. It sounds like a much safer option for many people.
