He Ghosted A Woman He Met On A Dating App Because When He Went To Pick Her Up For Their First Dinner Date, He Realized That She Had Totally Catfished Him
This 30-year-old guy recently joined a dating app because he was single and “ready to mingle.” But, he didn’t have much success on the app.
“And I didn’t want to pay for premium, so it’s safe to say I wasn’t getting many matches,” he recalled.
So, he decided to just start swiping right on everybody. Then, he eventually matched with a woman who he honestly claimed was not his type.
However, it’s not like he had a ton of other options to choose from, which is why he decided to start talking to her anyway.
He looked through the woman’s pictures, too, and apparently, the photos looked photoshopped.
“But not super obvious like the Kardashians, and she didn’t look too bad,” he noted.
The photos weren’t the only problem, though. According to him, the conversations they had on the dating app were also horrible. He thought that the woman was rude and didn’t like that she kept replying with one-word answers.
Still, since he wasn’t exactly flush with matches, he decided to “throw caution to the wind” and ask the woman out for coffee.
Well, to his surprise, the woman turned him down and claimed that, for first dates, she only goes out to dinner.

He was fine with that, too, so they agreed to meet up, and he planned to pick her up from her apartment.
So, when he was a few minutes away, he texted the woman to head outside. But then, as he approached the apartment complex, he thought he saw a large man waiting outside.
“I drove up, and I realized it was her,” he revealed.
“She’s massively overweight, like 300 pounds, and she obviously was using fake pictures.”
This realization pushed him to keep driving past the apartment before making a U-turn. Then, he replied to the woman’s text– giving her fake vehicle information– and drove away.
Afterward, he just headed to a McDonald’s to get food by himself and “reconsider all his life choices.” He also blocked the woman.
“And at first, I felt vindicated,” he vented, “But now, I feel like really bad.”
So now, he’s not sure whether ghosting the woman– even though she lied to him– was actually the wrong thing to do.
Have you ever been catfished on a dating app? Do you think he had a right to ghost the woman? If not, how else should he have handled this situation?
