A woman is warning people who go on dates to ‘look up’ their potential suitor online before meeting up as she was left ‘super creeped’ after realising the truth her ‘cute’ date
A woman in the dating pool said her heart sank when she realised that not everyone is as picture-perfect as they may appear on dating apps.
American woman Madi says she was asked out by a “super cute” man for a dinner date – but when she began getting to know him, she realised his looks weren’t enough to outweigh his “creepy” side. Now, she is warning other people that they should “look up” their suiter before agreeing to a date.
The fashion photographer, from New York City, took to TikTok to share her experience and thousands reacted to it. Madi, who shared what happened via her account @immadeleine, said: “Here’s why you should always look up the guy you’re going on a date with, before you go on the date.”
She explained: “One time I was out with my friends and I see this guy – really cute, looking at me – he ends up coming to me and he asked me to go to dinner. Go to this great dinner and he’s asking me ‘get to know you’ questions. He asked me what my job is – I’m a photographer and he’s like ‘oh wow, that’s so cool’ etc.”
She continued: “As the dinner went on he started to ask me more questions where I felt like he already knew the answer. Maybe he just looked me up on Instagram or whatever.
“I go home and I’m facetiming with my best friend and telling her about the date and I’m like OK I’m going to look him up now. So, I find his Instagram and as soon as I see the username, my stomach sinks, I’ve seen this username before. I click on the messages and he has messages me like 45 times in the past five years.”
Madi explained that he had responded to her posts regarding photography, friends, but on the date he asked questions he already knew the answers to. “I got super creeped out,” Madi added.
Reacting to the video, a number of people said they too would find it “creepy” while others admired his persistence. One woman advised: “Ladies if it’s a one night met at the bar thing, a Google search/criminal check doesn’t take long in the bathroom!” “Stalker vibes for real,” added another.
But another said: “I wouldn’t be that creeped out just because he had so much interest in me. It depends a lot on what kind of messages he was sending but I want a man that’s obsessed with me.”
One man added: “Speaking as a guy, he really likes you but was afraid to tell you because he thought you might be creeped out. Mission not accomplished.” Another wrote: “If he is single and he was not rude or weird I will ask about it. If I feel OK. I wouldn’t mind, he seems interested.”
One other agreed: “Give the man a chance! He is obviously into you probably didn’t want to bring it up fearing this exact thing.”
