Dating sites and apps are very popular nowadays – with their help we try to find the love of our life without making much effort and without leaving home. And someone really succeeds, but definitely not our heroes.
Julia, 34 years old
It was a warm summer, so my boyfriend and I just walked. We took a bottle of beer for mood. And everything was even quite cute and fun, only I was a little cold. He threw a windbreaker on my shoulders, so on and went through the park.
And now we have already drunk quite a lot (far from one bottle, as we were going), it became harder to think. I wanted to go to the toilet. The young man politely remained waiting for me, sitting on a bench. I walked away and … completely forgot about this guy!
The next morning I woke up in my bed: my head hurts, memories are slowly creeping in that yesterday I talked with some man … And suddenly I see his jacket in the corridor! I have never been so ashamed. I ran away from the guy in his own jacket! What did he think of me? Well, at least there were no keys or documents. Just a couple of coins…
Tatyana, 24 years old
Once I had a chance to go on a date with a guy who did not have his photo in his profile. Reality was different from expectations, well, too much. I had never been in such situations before, so I didn’t think to leave right away.
In the course of the conversation, I mentioned a couple of times in passing that I have a brother. And in the end, he decided to impress me and tell fortunes by the hand. As a result, with an extremely smart and serious look, he said: “So, well, I definitely see that you are not the only child in the family.” At first I thought he was joking, but no…
By the way, the date took place in the car under my entrance, so I had to remember the numbers and throw them to the neighbors.
Alexandra, 25 years old
I love mysterious guys, but these guys tend to be mentally unstable. I met one of them on a dating app. In the photo, the guy was handsome: long black hair, sunglasses, a beautiful body. In a word, rocker.
We met on the subway. In principle, the appearance met my expectations, but his behavior was embarrassing – instead of saying hello, he fixed me with a glassy look. When I said that he was strange, the guy was genuinely surprised.
Finally, we went for a walk in the park. Throughout the meeting, he told me various conspiracy theories and every now and then tried to somehow hug, touch my hand. I felt extremely uncomfortable, and I secretly wrote a message to a friend asking for help. She called, and we imitated a familiar scene to everyone: “Oh, my friend has an emergency, we urgently need to go to the rescue!”
The guy went to accompany me to the subway. And suddenly he began to think about patriarchal values: he agreed that all women provoke other men (even I, who came to the meeting in a long skirt), divorces should be banned, and letting go of hands in marriage is not that very bad. The conversation ended with raised voices at the moment when I jumped into the train car.
In the evening, a message came from him: “When will we meet next time?” I politely refused, to which I received the answer: “Oh, yes, I didn’t pick you up by car, but I came by metro, and took you to the park, and not to a restaurant …” Yes, this, of course, was the point …
Mikhail, 30 years old
Once he took a girl he met on a dating site to his favorite museum. At that time, I had just recovered from the army, I was three years older than her. Why a museum? I love art and hoped to be original, because dates at that age, as a rule, are taken to cafes or bars …
Paintings by the artist Nikolai Ge were exhibited there. When the girl heard this, she asked: “How is it? Just Ge? and let’s laugh. In a loud voice. Then I realized that she was still a child, and I had no time to wait until she grew up. Bought her ice cream and said goodbye. It’s still awkward to remember.
Irina, 27 years old
This date was not particularly unplanned. I haven’t used dating apps for a long time, but they stayed on my phone. In one of them came the message: “Let’s meet right now.” The mood was dreary, and in the hope of unwinding, I agreed.
My boyfriend and I met at a coffee shop and had a good time, although, to be honest, I immediately felt something was wrong. But on the surface, there was nothing to complain about, so I agreed to a second date. This time he took me to the cinema, bought popcorn and an oat milk latte. And then he took me to ride around Moscow at night. Everything was decent and nice, but I already realized: my heart did not skip a beat.
When I returned home, I wrote him a letter in which I honestly admitted that I did not want to meet again. To which she received a message: “How is it ?! Whoever pays for you is the one who dances for you!” and a bunch of other insults. In shock, I threw money for a movie and popcorn onto his card and blocked it. And on the same day, she deleted all dating apps.
