Random Tinder Horror Stories That Make Us Never Want To Date Again (16 items)

• (#15) He Didn't Have Teeth

  Posted by Redditor /u/hardcorefuzzybunnies:

  Met a guy, decent conversation, smart, funny, mutual nerdy hobbies. We decide to meet up at the local gamer bar and play some games while having our first date. Get in, sit down, dude has no teeth. Says a hack dentist told him they all had to be removed, couldn't get dentures due to budget, needed to wait for bone shards go fall out of his gums, etc. Proceeded to spit all over our food while talking, which granted, I knew he couldn't help, but if he can hide something this big from someone, what else could he be hiding? Plus, I couldn't stomach the thought of making out with someone with no teeth...

• (#3) Mom Tries Her Hand At Tinder

  Posted by Redditor /u/DasKatzechen:

  This isn't actually my story. It's my Mom's. After getting out of an incredibly long and unpleasant marriage, my mom joined Tinder. Stella wanted to get her groove back, and I was 100% on her team (I'm an adult). I can't emphasize enough, she was not looking for a long-term connection. Her work sent her out of state for a while, and everything seemed perfect. She's going to get her rando D and there's no chance of it getting serious.

  She's sending me screenshots of the guys she's considering, I'm giving her tips on safety. And then she picks a guy. I immediately tell her that he is not a wise choice. This guy's profile is 98% red flags by volume. Whatever, she's an adult, I literally cannot stop her. 

  Somehow in the four hours they are physically together he figures out which flight she's taking the next day. He used that to find her final destination, and somehow even finds her home address. He uses the public tax information to find her full name, and from there hunts down her Facebook.

  And finds my dad. Calls him on the phone!! And dishes EVERYTHING. Sends him pictures and screenshots of convos. Then he starts sending my mom harassing messages that he loves her but that he can't trust her. Ultimately my mom had to call the police.

  It ended up being a double date with his mom and her OkCupid date. He told me that he and his mom were a "package deal." I was mortified and there was no second date.
• (#9) Not A Story But A Journey

  Posted by Redditor /u/teeny_gecko:

  We were supposed to meet at 9 p.m., he fell asleep and called me at 9:30 when I was already at the carnival. I told him not to bother coming as I didn’t want to see him.

  He asked for another chance and I agreed.

  Unfortunately my dad got really ill and had to spend the next six weeks in the hospital with me visiting him daily. I had no time for dates and he got extremely mad.

  He made a fake Instagram account which he used to follow me and everybody that I followed. 
  He then saw me in a friend’s Instagram story and showed up to the restaurant we were at. 

  He called me a whore and a liar and we had to threaten to call the police because he would not leave.

  Edit: some of you are asking how it ended and I’ll just add this to my comment.

  He had my number and kept calling me using different phones. I knew it was him because he’d just be silent and I could hear him breathing. He did this for over 10 months, I was even living in a different country towards the end.

  One day I was expecting a call from a friend and had a missed call from a landline so I called back.

  It was his mom, I explained to her what was happening and after a long silence she said,  “Please don’t call the police, I will talk to him”.

  Never heard from him again.

  Edit 2: Some people are asking how the convo with his mum went so I’ll just type it here too.

  I was living in Thailand at the time and I had a friend (“Luis”) text me the night before telling me that he missed me and he wanted to catch up so I told him he could call after I finished work (I was a teacher there). When I came back from school I saw I had a missed call from a landline and I assumed it was Luis so I called back. A woman picked up.

  Her: Hello?

  Me: Hi, Teeny Gecko here, I have a missed call?

  Her: It must have been “Carlos.” He’s not home at the moment, but I’ll have him call you later.

  It clicked for me. I only know two guys named Carlos.

  Me: Carlos Surname?

  Her: Yes!

  Me: I'm sorry but could I talk to you for a second?

  Then I told her everything I remembered, I was so scared she would not believe me and call me a liar. I was shaking and I’ve never felt so sh*t, it was nearly two years ago and I forget the exact details but she kept whispering “Dios mío” as I was telling her. She asked me to not call the police and I told her I would if I ever heard from him again. I never did.

  Edit 3: Some people are asking me how I found out about the fake Instagram account so here it goes:

  The reason I was at a restaurant was because my sister had flown in from Dublin to visit my dad for a weekend and she made plans to meet her friends for tapas. I drove her to the restaurant and her friends saw me drop her off and asked me to stay, I did.

  After a while, I saw him and he yelled, the waiter threatened to call the police, and after the madness I sat back down and we all looked at each other like WTF.

  I wondered how TF he knew I was there and the only way he could have known was because one of my sister’s friend put up a story where we were all saying “saluuuuud!” with our drinks and she saw that one 40+ people saw the story.

  We ended up finding his profile and realized that he had followed EVERYONE I followed so that’s how. We all reported the account and it got taken down by Instagram.
• (#7) One Too Many Mai Tais

  Posted by Redditor /u/Transformwthekitchen:

  I went on a tinder date a couple months ago on a sunday afternoon. Met up with the guy around 3, he had a really good energy and was funny and complimentary. The place we wanted to go had a long line, so we went to another restaurant on the water for a drink and appetizers. He started slamming down Mai Tais. I had one, he had 3. They were STRONG. Like, I was tipsy borderline drunk off of one. The bar had a 2 mai tai per person limit, but he found another bartender to get his 3rd. He got drunker and drunker and started telling me he loved me, joking at first but getting increasingly serious. As we left he asked me to marry him, I kind of laughed it off, and was like “maybe we take it slow, we just met each other.” He got so mad he stormed off and left me on a street corner. Then as soon as he got home (it was 5 pm) he started texting me “come over.” And “I miss you.”

  He was 43.
