So, we moved-in together and everything was normal for the first few weeks. Later, I got to know that she already had a boyfriend and was trying to make him jealous by dating me.”

“I got into a relationship with a guy I met on an online dating app. I was in love and he meant the world to me. After two months, he confessed that he had broken up a night before meeting me on the app and was looking for someone to distract him. He was trying to get over his ex-partner and he had no feelings for me. He apologised me for hurting my feelings and asked me to never contact again. This is one of the worst experiences of my life.”

“I matched with a girl I met on an online dating app and we shared a good chemistry. We exchanged numbers and started hanging out on weekends. She used to flirt with me every day and dropped me hints about her feelings for me. I was hopeful we would be in a relationship soon and I used to pamper her with gifts, take her on shipping sprees and vacations. After four months, she confessed that she considered me only a friend and I misunderstood her in the wrong way. When I asked her to return the money I had spent on her, she blocked me from everywhere.”

We planned to meet for a ‘date’ and strangely, she came there with her boyfriend. They tried to convince me to invest in their business during the entire meeting. When I complained that it was supposed to be a date, she clarified that she never liked me and it was a business meeting for her. I uninstalled my dating app that day.”

“It was one of those weekends when I had no plans. I matched with a good-looking, tall guy online and we decided to meet him after talking for a few hours. When I actually saw him, I could not recognise him. He had edited his photographs way too much and looked completely different. He had a paunch in reality but his photographs told a different story of a man who flaunted his six-pack abs! I left after talking for about 15 minutes.”
