Send a like if you dare! As Halloween season unfolds, it’s not just the haunted houses and spooky costumes giving us chills —dating apps like Hinge have their own terrifying tales to tell. Ever swiped right on someone who looked like they’d come straight out of “The Conjuring?”
From date-night disasters to ghosting that lingers like an apparition from “The Ring”, we’re diving into Sheffield’s own cauldron of dating horrors, bringing you cringe-worthy encounters, and supernatural levels of dating awkwardness straight from the world of online dating. You might want to leave the lights on and brace yourself because these stories might just have you second-guessing that next match.
‘His first reply to my profile was: “even King Arthur couldn’t pull me out of you.”
What a creative start to the list. I’ll give him points for standing out but what happened to a simple hello, how are you? Like did he think that would work? So much to unpack.
‘I had a couple try and involve me in a threesome and send me explicit pictures and videos. I’m bi but still.’
Sounds incredibly dodgy. I rate the confidence at least.
‘The guy told me that if you play guitar you must be insane with your hands. We had just started talking.’
Men are so bold in the most unattractive way sometimes.
‘I was about to go on a date with a guy until we realised it was my friend’s one night stand. After we confronted him, he then asked for a threesome.’
What is it with hinge guys and threesomes.
‘A guy messaged me saying “are you GTA 6 because I’ve been waiting 10 years to get my hands on you?”
Why would anyone read that and be like yes I want to go on a date with you. Try again hun.
‘On our first date, the guy got up his phone calculator when the bill came.’
Yikes. At least offer to split the bill first.
‘I checked my messages and a guy had said “are you a chicken farmer? Cause you sure know how to raise cocks.” I’ve never unmatched with someone so quick.’
Girl, good for you. You really dodged a bullet there.
‘He said for our first date we could be West Street warriors together.’
Now that sounds like a nightmare first date. New ick unlocked, calling yourself a West Street warrior.
‘I was talking to two girls from hinge at the same time. They turned out to be best friends. The first girl never told her friend she found out and we continued to talk for 4 months.’
First of all, that’s not a best friend. Second of all, what are the chances. The second girl deserved better than that.
‘I met up with a girl who only wanted to hook up. We met and she told me I was clapped. So we then played monopoly for four hours.’
Wow, I have so many questions. Out of everything that could have happened in that situation, a four hour monopoly game was not expected.
‘A guy sent me a voice note of him meowing. Too bad I’m a dog person.’
Okay, interesting. I hope you replied with a voice note of you barking.
‘He was wearing cuffed cargos on the first date.’
Unfortunately it’s giving the same energy as skinny jeans…
‘He started talking in a baby voice when we were in bed.’
Yuck. Please run away as fast as you.
