Dating apps suck, what else is new? You see someone cute, swipe and match, leading to a surprisingly good connection via long stimulating conversations. You think, 'Huh, there's potential', only to have your hopes wildly dashed when you're inevitably breadcrumbed, stood up, or ghosted. The dating pool nowadays is full of pirhanas. People hide behind their screens, basking in obscure anonymity.
Some of us have tougher skin than others, and this young woman who took to Reddit admitted that she simply didn't have what it took to deal with this kind of thing. She was seeking support in the r/TwoXChromosomes subreddit after being stood up (30 minutes before the date no less…) by a guy who made it clear (without actually making it clear) that he was looking for one thing, and one thing only.
She stated that she was going through a recent breakup, and her heart was unusually fragile. This was the first time she was experiencing the woes of a dating app, and wasn't prepared for the harsh reality that this dude was actually just seeking some friendly entertainment for the night — involving her and a bedroom.
You can read the full detailed account of what happened below, as well as the heartwarming comments that ensued. It's definitely a blessing in disguise because you might as well know sooner than later that someone is a total AH.
