Random Tinder Horror Stories That Make Us Never Want To Date Again (16 items)

• (#3) Mom Tries Her Hand At Tinder

  Posted by Redditor /u/DasKatzechen:

  This isn't actually my story. It's my Mom's. After getting out of an incredibly long and unpleasant marriage, my mom joined Tinder. Stella wanted to get her groove back, and I was 100% on her team (I'm an adult). I can't emphasize enough, she was not looking for a long-term connection. Her work sent her out of state for a while, and everything seemed perfect. She's going to get her rando D and there's no chance of it getting serious.

  She's sending me screenshots of the guys she's considering, I'm giving her tips on safety. And then she picks a guy. I immediately tell her that he is not a wise choice. This guy's profile is 98% red flags by volume. Whatever, she's an adult, I literally cannot stop her. 

  Somehow in the four hours they are physically together he figures out which flight she's taking the next day. He used that to find her final destination, and somehow even finds her home address. He uses the public tax information to find her full name, and from there hunts down her Facebook.

  And finds my dad. Calls him on the phone!! And dishes EVERYTHING. Sends him pictures and screenshots of convos. Then he starts sending my mom harassing messages that he loves her but that he can't trust her. Ultimately my mom had to call the police.

• (#2) She Got A Name Tattoo Before The Date

  Posted by Redditor /u/Thewhitetmac:

  I matched with a girl and sent a lot of messages, later that night we talked on the phone and the conversation was going really well, so I asked to go out the next night. She agreed and then five minutes later, she tells me that needs to tell me something. She tells me that she’s permanently in a wheelchair. So I’m either an a-hole if I back out now or an a-hole if I lead her on. I figure why not, it’s just a date and it could be a fun time still. 

  We talk more that night and go to bed, the next morning she calls me early and tells me she’s doing something crazy. She won’t tell me what but she said she’ll show me later. A few hours goes by and she calls me back, and tells me she’s going to send me a pic of what she did. I check my messages and I see a picture of her wrist, with my name now tattooed on it. 

  We end the call and I immediately tell my friends about this crazy girl. Later that night, I’m driving to her place 'cause I figure, she can be committed enough to tattoo my name on her I should be committed enough to go on this date. Plus, I have to know it it’s real. 

  I’m almost at her place and I realize that my car may not accommodate her wheelchair and I know she drives, so I ask if she can drive us. I’m walking in the parking lot and she drives up and I get in the car. Now I had figured she had a handicapped enabled car. Nope. Turns out she just uses two crutches to drive, one on the gas and one on the brake. I don’t like this as we’re driving on the southern California freeways in traffic. 

  We go eat and she gets a phone call from her daughter. Turns out she left her 10-year-old daughter at home alone and she’s scared. I’m like hey we can go. But she’s like no, it’s okay, I gave her something to make her sleep she’ll be asleep soon. 

  So we finish up and I was gonna take her to see a movie, but the kid thing was too much so we head home and my fingers are already crossed that we make it when she turns to me while driving and says, "Wow, I’m kinda drunk." In my head I’m like, one drink is all you had! But I ask if I can drive and she says no, she’s gonna get in the fast lane and uses her crutch to hit the gas. I say my last prayers but we made it back to her place. So I wheeled her back to her door said goodbye and lived. 

  Tattoo was real though.

• (#7) One Too Many Mai Tais

  Posted by Redditor /u/Transformwthekitchen:

  I went on a tinder date a couple months ago on a sunday afternoon. Met up with the guy around 3, he had a really good energy and was funny and complimentary. The place we wanted to go had a long line, so we went to another restaurant on the water for a drink and appetizers. He started slamming down Mai Tais. I had one, he had 3. They were STRONG. Like, I was tipsy borderline drunk off of one. The bar had a 2 mai tai per person limit, but he found another bartender to get his 3rd. He got drunker and drunker and started telling me he loved me, joking at first but getting increasingly serious. As we left he asked me to marry him, I kind of laughed it off, and was like “maybe we take it slow, we just met each other.” He got so mad he stormed off and left me on a street corner. Then as soon as he got home (it was 5 pm) he started texting me “come over.” And “I miss you.”

  He was 43.

  First date, she wanted me to get into a bar fight with the perfectly friendly guy who'd bought us a round of shots that night. Why? Because she found out he was a Scorpio.
