She Unknowingly Went On A Date With A Married Man Back When She Was In College
It’s normal to bend the truth on a first date. Nothing too crazy, though. Maybe you exaggerated your position at work or added an extra inch to your height. However, there’s a difference between little white lies and absolutely wild ones. Like when a man doesn’t tell his date he’s married.
TikTok user Taylor Mathis (@taylormathis117) unknowingly went on a date with a married man during her time as a student at the University of Iowa.
She had just broken up with her boyfriend of two and a half years and decided to go out with her friends to get the breakup off her mind.
While at a bar, her friends kept telling her that a really cute guy was staring at her. He was wearing a superhero t-shirt. It gave Taylor the ick somewhat, but she ignored it because of how attractive he was.
When they made eye contact, he got up to talk to her. They exchanged phone numbers, and he asked her out on a date.
“He was very mature and immediately asked me out on a real date, which was very different from the college boys that I was used to,” said Taylor.
Afterward, Taylor could not remember his name, but she recalled that he played football in college. So she spent hours online with her friends trying to find out his name. Finally, they discovered that his name was Arthur.
They made plans for a date on Friday, two days before Valentine’s Day. Arthur took Taylor to a nice restaurant in Iowa City, and when he picked her up, the backseat of the car was filled with flowers and edible arrangements for her.
The date went well, but Taylor had a weird feeling about him. After the date, Taylor went out to the bars with her friends and her sister, who was visiting.

That night, Arthur asked to meet up with her, and he ended up meeting her sister and friends. They all loved him and raved about how nice he was. However, Taylor just wasn’t sharing the same enthusiasm for some reason she could not quite pinpoint.
The next day, he texted her, asking when they could go on another date. But she decided to cut things off by telling him she didn’t think they were compatible.
After a week or two, Taylor received a text from Arthur’s number, demanding she never contact him again and accusing her of being a terrible person.
Confused, she texted back, apologizing to Arthur for not wanting to go on a second date. But to Taylor’s horror, the person texting her was not Arthur. It was his wife!
Taylor informed her that she had no idea Arthur was married. Then, Arthur’s wife called her and asked for details of how they met and any text messages between them. Taylor gladly complied, and at the end of the conversation, Arthur’s wife thanked her.
“She was like, this is the push that I needed to finally divorce him. She had two sons, and he was their stepdad,” said Taylor.
A year later, Taylor checked out the woman’s Facebook and discovered that she had divorced him. So Taylor’s message to all the ladies out there is that you should listen to your gut. It’s right more often than it’s not.
“I don’t know where Arthur is now, but hopefully, he’s not out there ruining Francine’s life,” Taylor concluded the video.
