Share some real online dating stories.

A real dating story of mine was a disaster. I planned this elaborate date at a fancy restaurant. I got all dressed up. But when we met, we just didn't click. There was this uncomfortable silence most of the time. He seemed more interested in his phone than in me. I was so disappointed and couldn't wait for the date to end.

There's a story of two people who were both introverts. They were having a hard time meeting people in real life. They joined an online dating platform. At first, their conversations were short and a bit awkward. But as they got to know each other better, they found out that they both loved reading and writing. They started writing letters to each other within the app. This led to them meeting up at a local bookstore and now they're in a loving relationship.

Well, here's one. I once went on a date to a local coffee shop. The guy I was with was really nervous. He kept fumbling with his cup and spilling a bit. But it was actually kind of cute. We ended up talking for hours about our favorite books and travels. It was a simple but really nice date.

One story is about a couple who met at a church retreat. They both felt a strong spiritual connection right away. They started dating while participating in church activities together, like helping with community service projects. Their faith was at the center of their relationship, and they often prayed together for guidance in their relationship.

One of the worst online dating stories I heard was when a girl showed up to a date and the guy she met was nothing like his pictures. He was at least 20 years older and about 50 pounds heavier. It was really a shock for her.

One time I matched with a guy who said he was really into fitness. But when we met in person, he was nothing like his pictures. He was much heavier and looked really unkempt. He also talked only about himself the whole time and didn't seem interested in getting to know me at all.

One crazy story is that a girl thought she was chatting with a handsome young man on an online dating app. But when they finally met, it turned out to be a middle - aged man who had used a fake photo. He tried to convince her that he was the same person in the photo just a bit older due to 'hard times'. It was really awkward and the girl left immediately.

One scary story is about a girl who met a guy on an online dating app. They seemed to hit it off and planned to meet. When they met, the guy was really pushy about going to a secluded place. She refused, but he got angry and started yelling. It was terrifying for her.

One of the weirdest online dating stories I've come across was when a man thought he was chatting with a single woman. When they met for a date, she showed up with her seven - year - old son and her mother. It was supposed to be a romantic date, but it ended up being more like a family gathering. Another story involves a guy who would only communicate through emojis on the date. He wouldn't speak at all, just pointed at things and showed emojis on his phone. And there was a girl who went on a date with a guy who was obsessed with collecting toenail clippings. He started showing her his collection during the date, which was extremely gross.

One crazy story I heard was about a couple who met on an online dating app. They thought they were in the same city, but it turned out one of them had their location set wrong by accident. After chatting for months, when they finally decided to meet, they realized they were in different countries! It was a huge shock but also quite funny.
