  (#1) He Ended Up In The Midst Of A Coup

  In July 2016, Englishman Phil Stephenson found himself in Turkey during the country's failed coup, thanks to a Tinder date. A woman Stephenson matched with on Tinder asked him if he would travel to Turkey with her after her family dropped out of the trip at the last minute. Free trip to Turkey? Sure. Why not? 

  Unfortunately for them, they landed in the country just as the coup was getting started. To make matters worse, the two had very different ideas of how the trip should go. Stephenson was looking for casual fun while his date, Nicole Graham, reportedly wanted something a little more serious.

  "As soon as we got on the plane she was wanting to hold hands," he said. "She was a nice girl, don't get me wrong... Unfortunately it was a Tinder date that went wrong."

  Speaking to The Northern Echo, Graham had her own commentary about the date: “It was the worst time of my life - and he nicked my toothpaste."

  (#2) Rosie O'Donnell's Daughter Was Reported Missing

  If you're going to hang out with sketchy guys you met on Tinder, call your mom and let her know where you are. Especially if your mom is a famous comedian who can (and will) use the power of social media to track you down.

  Chelsea O'Donnell, the 17-year-old daughter of Rosie O'Donnell, went missing for nearly a week in the summer of 2015. After reporting the incident to the police, Rosie turned to social media for help. She posted messages on Twitter and Instagram asking the public for any information they could provide.

  By Wednesday, police had located Chelsea. Turns out she had been hiding out with a 25-year-old named Steve Sheerer. Chelsea met Sheerer on Tinder and was apparently with him of her own accord. According to O'Donnell on Twitter, Sheerer had previously been arrested for drug-related offenses. His case was later dropped.

  (#3) They Matched With Their Cousin

  From Redditor /u/maiwang:

  I was on tinder this weekend at my family's 4th of July party and got my only female cousin on my screen. I clicked yes as a joke... it was a match. We never talked about that.

  (#4) She Was Insulted By A Finance Guy

  It can be hard to take a blow to your ego. But for some guys, especially those who work in finance and have "made 32k since June," it can be damn near unbearable. After this woman refused to answer his aggressive string of texts, most of which were insulting her, Finance Guy went off.

  He told her that not only is she a "6," but also that Sex & the City has "f*cked up the minds of so many chicks in our generation."

  (#5) A Match Got Clingy Fast

  From Redditor /u/Joskilatrix:

  It was horrible. I installed the app for fun and just to f*ck around with when I'm bored, ended up matching with a girl and talked to her for like 2 weeks and exchanged numbers & FB info. She was pretty, seemed really cool, and we shared a lot in common. Eventually she said we should hang out, and I said sure. We met up at a mall and just walked around and talked for about an hour, and I left. After I left, I knew I wasn't going to pursue her. Over text she seemed pretty cool, but in person she was just...off, idk I can't really explain it. Anyway, within 2min of me getting back in the car, she texted me wanting to know my real opinion on her now. Kinda weird, but whatever she seems weird so I just replied saying yeah she's cool and whatever. Big mistake.

  Over the course of the next 2 hours, I received over 80 texts, about 10 calls and a couple VMs, all of her crying and saying I need to move in with her and her Dad... I needed to take care of her. I was blunt with her in saying no and this can't go on anymore and to stop contacting me, but nothing changed. I had to delete my FB profile, block her number, etc. I deleted the app after that.

  (#6) The Froyo Experiment

  Out of curiosity, three Brigham Young University students decided to set up an experiment on Tinder to see how many men would be willing to go to a froyo shop to meet up with a Tinder match that was good looking but provided no information about themselves. Using fake pictures, they accumulated about 250 matches, all inviting them to the same shop at the same date and time.

  Over 70 males between the ages of 19 and 30 showed up. Hey, at least Yogurtland got some good business that day.

  (#7) He Went To A Party With The Girl's Exes

  When this one guy decided to meet up with a Tinder match, he thought he was going to a Superbowl party at her house. Eventually, he realized she is dragging him to a work party – one that had a lot of her exes. As if that weren't weird enough, she disappeared for a long time, and when she finally came back, they got ready to leave.

  Before they could, one of the guys yelled, "Wait! She's already f*cked Tim, Bill, and Mark, I figured me and Mike could get a go and you can have her the rest of the night!"

  (#8) She Ended Up On A Date With A Guy Filling Out Unemployment Forms

  One woman was excited about her latest Tinder date - until she arrived at the coffee shop and found him filling out unemployment forms on his computer. "No big deal," she said, knowing how stressful losing a job can be. But he continued working on it for nearly the full hour of her lunch break, ignoring her.

  After he told her about his idea to start a business selling knock-off watches, she knew it wasn't meant to be.

  (#9) He Kept Running Into A Dad Who Hated Him

  From Redditor /u/therealJayT:

  A few years ago I was dating this girl and her father REALLY hated me. Which was a bit odd as most parents love me (or at least lie about it real well). He was just a huge [jerk] and I always called him on his sh*t. Anyways, her parents got divorced, we broke up a few months later etc etc.

  Fast forward to around a year later. Me and [another] girl from Tinder were dating for a few months and things were starting to get serious. We're at the point where she wants me to meet her family. Mother, step father, little sister. Why not? I have no problems meeting them... She told me how excited her step dad was to meet me as it turns out we both happen to be Kansas City Chiefs fans.

  Well, f*ck me if it wasn't the same [jerk] father of my ex girlfriend...

  (#10) Their Date Tied Them Up

  From Redditor /u/fully_coolie:

  I messaged this Indian girl late one night and ended up going to her place at around 6 am. She lived on the first floor of some dorms in a college across town. We got down to business immediately and slept after. She seemed pretty cool.

  I woke up naked with a tight elastic band around my ankles (basically tied up my ankles). She had hidden my clothes. She insisted on spending the day together, but to make sure I didn't run away, she didn't tell me where my clothes were. So we're sitting around, I'm still naked after 3 hours. She's fully clothed now, and asking me all about myself. To make things even stranger, she wrote down each of my answers to her questions.

  I waited until she left to use the bathroom, then I searched the entire dorm for my clothes. I found them in the refrigerator in the vegetable drawer. I got dressed SO damn quick, and jumped out of the window.

  (#11) His Date Wasn't Exactly His Type

  Not all Tinder matches are made in heaven. But for one guy, it resulted in meeting with a stripper who had "half a shaved head and facial tattoos... she [also] had a boyfriend. We later found out that she’s also pregnant."

  (#12) He Got His Car Stolen

  From Redditor /u/pointynipples69:

  My buddy isn't the smartest man. He picked a chick up and drove to a motel. They were walking into the room and she says, "oh sh*t, I forgot my purse in the car do you mind if I go grab it?" He says, "yeah that's fine," and tosses her the keys. 5 minutes later he walks outside wondering where she is and his car is gone.

  (#13) His Twin Brother Inadvertently Took His Date

  From Redditor /u/whyme427:

  I'm an identical twin. My brother was visiting me at school and I invited a girl I met on tinder over. He doesn't use Tinder, but obviously didn't want to be alone for the night so I used the app to get him a girl too.

  She thought he was me the entire time all the way up until she left the next morning. Right before she left she asked my brother a question about my rugby team that he just couldn't answer. I got some angry messages afterwards.

  (#14) She Used Tinder To Fill Up Her Party

  From Redditor /u/AJTTOTD:

  Buddy of mine hit it off with this girl and after a few days, she invited him over to a house party. "Sure" he says, what could go wrong? He shows up and is introduced to a few of her friends, all guys. As the night carries on, more and more guys show up and very few girls are actually at the party. After they start talking about how they all know this girl they find out that she invited them all from Tinder. Every guy was there not to hook up, but to populate this chick's birthday party.
