7 True Scary Online Internet Dating Horror Stories (Vol. 2)

This is without a doubt one of the scariest experiences of my life and probably the one with the most danger, although I didn't realize it at the time. I am a 19 year old female. I live out of a medium size Virginian. city ​​even though we are only 40 minutes from a decent sized city, our areas are still very rural and unpopulated. husband, however, I turned to

internet

dating

apps. I was a little hesitant to do it, but I wasn't really into the party scene and there wasn't any guy who already knew who I was interested in, so Tinder seemed like the logical choice.

I didn't have much luck at first it was pretty bad the first month I was there I got nothing but invitations to one night stands and creepy guys asking to do all sorts of horrible things there were a few guys who tried to act soft but it was very obvious that they were only interested in getting me into their bed the only positive that came out of it at the time was that i had made $50 selling pictures of my jokowi one feet but $50 is $50 at a certain point i realized I realized that I needed to either lower my expectations or find another place to date.

I decided to give one of the less kinky guys a try. It didn't surprise me much, but he seemed like a nice guy. he told me he had a job he came from a good family and finished college we met at a coffee shop in my town and we hit it off from the start we were very compatible from the start he was compassionate and very smart all those were qualities i was looking for a guy and he looked so much better in person than in his profile pic, as amazing as that is, we finally drove in his car for a few hours just so he could talk.

What are we talking about? you might be wondering conspiracy theories, it was like the moment we left the public, he became a conspiracy theorist, not at work, when he started talking about the government, listening to our conversations, I joked with him and said kind of like, okay, Alex Jones, he didn't. Take kindly to this lighthearted joke and there was a bit of tension for a few minutes eventually, though he went back to blabbering about the government and aliens. I'm not going to lie to you. I was kind of interested in some of the things he was saying because they seemed at least a little bit

true

, but some of his conclusions just didn't line up, they didn't make logical sense, it was like he could get you from point A to point B, but when he went straight from point B to point X for no reason, we eventually got off topic and things went back to normal for a short time.

We started talking about our past relationships and some more intimate details like we really bonded there and I felt a strange connection to him like as strange as it was I felt like I could be there for him. We went on about two or three dates before I started asking about him. I didn't really like the gossip scene, but I always want to know as much as he can. about someone I'm

dating

, most of the people I asked in the city I knew said they had never heard or met him before, this was a bit strange considering I lived in this city and it seemed like I would have met at least a few some of these people the only people i found who had ever heard of him had some really weird

stories

to tell one of them went like this i guess he had rented an apartment that was above a beauty salon in town at least according to this person one day he got very violent and started stomping up the stairs and yelling it wasn't like he was angry but it seemed more like he was trying to convince himself to do something and what was he saying he was chanting kill them kill them though things looked a bit ridiculous, I wasn't sure I believed it and just convinced myself that this couldn't have been the same guy, sure it was a bit weird, especially with a conspiracy theory, but he looked like a human being anyway. other normal.

I kept this in my mind for the next two or three dates we went on, I tried to picture him being the person who would do something like that and go crazy for some kind of reason and I just didn't see it, I couldn't picture it at the time. time and oh how wrong i was on a friday night after i finished all my homework for the weekend he texted me and said he wanted me to come over honestly i wasn't in the mood i was so tired of the class and just wanted to be alone at night i put my phone down and went into the bathroom so i could shower when i got out i had 53 missed calls i was worried my mom might die or something i looked at all the notifications and they all came from this guy i checked my texts and he had repeatedly sent me the same sentence over and over again, it said I need your help right now and it was in all caps, I wasn't sure exactly what to do.

I called him, he answered the phone and seemed extremely scared. and worried I finally got to ask him what was going on and he told me that he was worried someone had broken into his house but he couldn't find it. I guess he was home alone and this had been going on for about 30 minutes. at this point i told him if he couldn't find anyone else in this house then probably no one else was there, it seemed obvious to me but he didn't believe it, he was completely convinced someone was there. He told me he heard a door open on the other side of the house and when he ran over there it was wide open and he thought whoever broke it was still there hiding waiting for him to relax so he could jump out of a fit. to wonder whether or not he was in a healthy state of mind.

I wasn't sure if I think his door was smashed in. He really is crazy. I needed to go out and help him. He didn't have a gun and he was just a girl. What was he going to do? I decided I didn't want anything to do with this guy anymore. I blocked him out on everything and just like I hope the problem goes away I tried to focus on happier things I thought I was just going to watch my favorite movie The Lion King and eat some ice cream before I went to get some ice cream My mom asked if she could stop and get him some cigarettes I agreed I was glad because I knew I would have to drive home tonight I didn't think he was crazy enough to do anything about it or even notice, but it still made me feel bad a little uncomfortable thinking being closer to him like this there was a lot of traffic a few minutes ahead of his house and when I finally passed I saw police cars everywhere my heart skipped a beat I started feeling guilty instantly I thought someone had really broken into his house and tried After attacking him I stopped on the side of the road and started walking towards his house I asked one of the policemen who was on the scene what was happening he told me that the guy who lived in this house had taken his mother hostage and he he was being held at gunpoint I was surprised he wasn't being attacked he was the attacker I ran back to my car I closed the door and walked away as fast as I could That really freaked me out that night and I've wondered what had become of me ever since me if I had gone to his house when he asked me to.

Fortunately, no one was seriously injured and the police detained him after three days. He is in a federal prison. It was the scariest experience of my life, but as bad as it was, I still have a Tinder profile. Being in a relationship with a bad person can really take a toll on your soul. I dated a girl for three years. I did everything for her and I really gave her all of her and in return she stole and lied and cheated. I really did my best to avoid spending too much time with other girls. What was he doing right? the kind of nice guy, not that weirdo who would randomly buy a girl flowers and hope she'd go out with me, but the kind of guy who understood a thing or two about people and knew that a little kindness went a long way.

He really made me proud of myself. on being a good guy but i guess my ex took it as a weakness so without throwing a pity party for myself thats what led me to download some

online

dating apps i just wanted to date so many girls as I could and I don't know how to take revenge in my mind if that makes any sense I hated feeling like I was being played I didn't necessarily want to hurt anyone I just wanted to increase my self esteem my brother who had always been skeptical of my ex -my girlfriend was very supportive of me dating out of there and do whatever i want with whoever i want well i ended up getting myself into the biggest garbage fire of my life there were times i really thought i was in real danger it was quite a nightmare and in retrospect i never should have followed this path, someone being a bad partner to you doesn't justify what i did and i take responsibility for my actions two weeks into the whole

internet

dating thing and i found it pretty easy to find a couple of girls who wanted to date with me regularly and over a period of a month i was dating three girls at the same time and they all thought i was only dating them one of them was basically just as into doing it as i was she pretty easy to handle there was another one who was a tall brunette and really was something else.

I wish I had met her under different circumstances because she is probably the best ever and then there was the blonde that she was. t a real blonde one of those bleached blondes in country boots types of girls let's call her Stephanie Stephanie had a very bad record she herself told me about her past where she had been abused by her father and had multiple horrible boyfriends there was something very strange about her and I thought that I would find out what that was sooner or later and, boy, did I find out that as crazy as Stephanie was, she was definitely a perceptive little girl who could read my thoughts in a way that I found very surprising. there were at least two separate occasions where she had asked me if she was seeing someone else, of course I lied, I knew if I made it clear to her that she was going to be done with it and that she wasn't done avenging me on the world yet.

I remember taking Stephanie out on a date Friday night I took her to a decent steakhouse I wasn't trying to be nice at all I honestly wanted to eat steak myself and the date was over we hung out and talked for a while and then had a little fun shortly when i was ready to go home it was only ten o'clock when i was getting ready to leave i had already been texting the other girl that it was very easy to set her up for maybe a 12 am time. funny everything seemed to be going according to plan i got to the other girl's house at 12:15 she was home alone we started to get ready to go to the room and we heard a loud knock on the door she had no idea who it could be her parents were away for the weekend and there were rarely people coming to her house so she opened the door i was waiting in the bedroom when i heard her fall to the floor i ran out to see what happened it was Stephanie she must have followed me here she left me heart fell to the ground and i was so panicked i looked down to see the girl and her face was bloody she must have gotten punched in the nose or something and then i saw something in stephanie's hand it was a hammer she had tears running down by his cheeks but I also saw hate in his eyes sorry sorry that's all i couldn't mutter before he threw the hammer at me it hit me in the back it left me a horrible bruise it was honestly mortifying i was worried what i was going to get out another weapon of some kind, a knife or maybe a gun, you don't know with her, the other girl was on the floor completely unconscious, Stephanie started asking me a bunch of questions, how many other women were there, how long.

Has this been happening and why did I also notice this theme with the question she was asking me? I always linked it to her not being enough like the reason I was cheating on her was because Stephanie wasn't meeting my needs or something I'm not going to lie to you I made it completely clear that I started this whole belt off wrong farcical from the beginning, if it hadn't been for my brother's support, I would never have gone through with any of this, I tried to explain it to her. that i had just gotten out of a really bad relationship and wanted to be a gamer for a while we talked for a while longer and then she asked me something that really caught me off guard do you still love me i said yes honestly i really didnt care that much but i knew i was running a grave risk if he said no.

I figured I might end this whole dumpster fire and a couple of days on the phone or something to ensure my own well-being. -While there, I convinced Stephanie to calm down. I told her that she should get back in her truck and go home and try to relax. For some reasons, I still wanted to be in a relationship despite all of this. I told him still. i loved her and got her back in her vehicle and when i did i realized a hammer wasn't the only thing she had in there i definitely saw a shotgun and it would look like a gallon of gas and i just assume she had some matches too they are enough to say that I was extremely terrified of what this girl was capable of I took the other girl to the hospital she didn't remember anything I tried to convince her that it was a random stranger who hit herin the face and somehow she was as goofy as easy she was totally fine she didn't even have a concussion she just unfortunately broke her nose I broke up with the tall brunette easy girl I knew breaking up with Stephanie was going to be a bit more hard even though i deleted all my social media and blocked her on everything.

He wasn't sure what else he could do. She just knew my name and maybe what my car looks like and that's it. It's been a couple of weeks since all this and thankfully Stephanie hasn't arrived. ever since and i really hope she never finds me again. I can understand the pain of being cheated on, but the way he hurt that other girl was completely wrong, but I guess some people react to things differently. I can only hope Stephanie gets better. After all this ordeal, maybe she'll seek therapy because God, she needs it. I created a Tinder after I moved out of my parents' house.

Anyone can understand how hard it is to date while living with your parents, no matter how old you are. No matter how much experience you have or how many times you've been with someone, you'll always be a child in your parents' eyes and that's why after my first long-term relationship ended while I was in college, I decided to wait until that officially I moved to pursue someone again seriously A little information about me I was 21 years old at the time and graduated from a four-year university a little early. I was never reckless or wild at any point in my life, even though I really wanted to be me.

I always felt like I was holding myself back so when I moved out and started living on my own after college I decided to experiment too much with my love life which started by going to the club twice a week but realized I only attracted perverts . that's why i created the tinder profile that way, at least i could research guys before i let them into my life. I remember looking at each profile carefully before swiping left or right. they have redeeming qualities even if they don't look like supermodels. I remember learning a lot about men in my last relationship.

One of the things I learned was that men really don't know how to dress well or present themselves in a nice way. outfits and a good haircut can make a world of difference in my last long term relationship my boyfriend went from a six to a nine with just those changes I remember I was browsing Tinder one night while watching Netflix it was exactly what you I was expecting a

true

crime documentary. I loved them and I remember feeling a bit upset because I saw a face on Tinder that I recognized. I had never seen the guy's face anywhere but on Tinder, but I felt like I had seen it a few times.

It was kind of weird because I remember swiping left last time I saw him it was like I was seeing him a second time or something that time I went out of my way to read his name Tyler had a very narrow face and looked like the kind of guy who likes to go to biker clubs on the weekends he looked really tough he had this long black hair that looked extremely unkempt and he had a really mean face in his profile picture those were enough indicators that he knew that Not interested in this guy, I swiped left and went through a few more profiles before I lost interest in watching this Ted Bundy documentary again.

A couple of days had passed. I hadn't been on Tinder for a while, for no particular reason. anytime i got a really good job after college at the local lab and i was working really hard between having that new job and moving it was kind of hard to find time for the whole dating thing so this is where things got They got a little leery at first, I reconnected to Tinder and started seeing more guys. I was very surprised to see that Tyler had returned. Me again, I remembered searching

online

to see if Tinder would show you the same guys a couple of times and not finding any convincing answers.

I remember reading some comments on reddit that it is possible to see the same person more than once. more than once, but only if you swiped a lot and ran out of people to see and as much as i used tender, i didn't use it enough to run out of people to match with. I live on the outskirts of a medium-sized city and my local community. it was big enough i thought it would have been extremely weird to run out of enough people to see this guy multiple times like this and here's the other weird thing i'm a girl this is supposed to be a guy problem because there aren't enough women for there wasn't any other dude on Tinder again either, the weird guy on the bike with greasy hair and probably has a knife in it, he was the guy I kept seeing there were probably three or four more times where I had seen your profile and I remember getting frustrated.

I deliberately matched them and then blocked him before he had a chance to message me. there I saw him again with the exact same profile picture and that was all the point where I started to get really scared I took a break from Tinder for a few days I tried to tell myself there weren't too many men in the area I just assumed that I couldn't think of a more logical reason why the following creepy incident happened when I saw the exact same profile picture and the same name. I tried to add myself on Facebook. I don't use a call face that often and it was probably the first time I've ever used it.

Within a week of logging in and seeing this I got a little braver than I usually am and decided to accept the friend request just to see what he would do and you guessed it he messaged me saying he saw me on tinder. I didn't exchange five messages before he asked me which restaurant I wanted to eat at. I explained that I wasn't interested and didn't want to go on any more dates. He said that he was lying and started threatening me. He began to describe horrible things. he was going to do to me and they were mostly lewd in nature but some seemed a bit violent now i know i probably shouldn't have accepted his friend requests to begin with i probably should have never messaged him and i should have blocked him on that same moment, but I didn't do it in a weird way.

I was so curious and interested in this. I agreed to meet him in a mall parking lot in the city. I don't know what possessed me to do it, but I agreed, I wasn't consciously planning to pursue him in any serious capacity, but now I was driving to a mall for some really weird guy and I remember being excited and nervous like I hadn't been in a long time. time. I drove there, it was very exciting and I'm not sure why. I stopped at one end of the parking lot and sat there for a few minutes.

I took out my phone and opened Facebook Messenger. He had already sent me a message. One minute to go ask where he was. I told him that he was almost there. I lied. I really wanted to see him before he saw me and luckily I did. I saw him about six cars away. He hadn't seen me and my windows were pretty dark so I doubt I could see inside. I sat there in complete silence studying it. He looked even tougher in real life than he did online. His hair was even longer and disheveled. disgusting inside and out the death trap was spray painted on the drivers side door one look at him and one look at that car and you knew it was his my better judgment finally kicked in and i walked away i blocked him on facebook and i closed my tinder profile again, not sure what i really expected to happen, maybe a part of me wanted to date a wildly unhinged bad boy, it wasn't long after this point in my life that i met my now fiancé we have a really happy relationship and loving relationship and that probably wouldn't have happened if I had gone along with that degenerate whatever happened I'm so glad I didn't have to find out this is a pretty weird story I'm a 24 year old man.

I was friends with a 29 year old woman who had two kids her mom and my mom were best friends at the office where they worked a couple of years ago and our families got pretty close me and this girl let's call her Angela they got really close we were never romantically interested in each other and had a very compatible sense of humor she was a single mom and honestly she struggled a lot her ex-husband seemed like a nice guy but the pressure of raising a kid broke him, he tried of convincing Angela that she miscarried a week before the baby was born which was pretty messed up and then she started gambling obsessively Angela told me that she gambled away their combined savings account which was about $8,000 their marriage lasted about a year or two before he finally disappeared and as bad as it is to say that she was better off without him, raising two children might not be easy, but raising three is much more difficult.

Angela and I became good friends after I started helping her take care of her children. bad for her as much as her family tried to help her they didn't have enough time off work to make much of a difference i didn't do much and she was always appreciative of what i did she was very lonely and has been looking for a guy for a while she had the great idea to use tinder. I remember she told me about this really handsome boy. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect from the first time I met him. She hated him. bad feeling about her motives the situation was weird now don't get me wrong Angela is a great person and any man would be lucky to have her but she was a single mom no matter how nice or attractive she was she had two kids they didn't make much money And if it weren't for your family and friends, you probably wouldn't be able to keep your life together.

I always expected her to find some ugly rich guy who could take care of her or a guy with kids of his own, you know, something like that, but this guy she was dating right now was a weirdo, he was attractive, had a good job, and apparently he had everything going for him and here was the kicker he said he had never dated. girl before and he was 28 and he just thinks about how weird he is for a moment every time i saw them together it was so obvious to me that he was faking his personality to impress angela and the sad part is that she bought everything if she ate with a shovel, call me an idiot, but when something seems too good to be true, it usually is.

I knew there was going to be some kind of dark demon behind this little act, it was going to turn out to be a drug addict or worse, I was honest with Angela about the whole situation from the start and she didn't really appreciate that she started telling me to get in on my own business and then I should be happy for her after the third or fourth time. I told her something she told me to stop being jealous and that I was in love with her Angela was definitely not my type and I was not attracted to her I was angry that she hinted that I was but after that I stopped helping her and she created a lot of distance.

It was about two weeks before I started to feel worried about her again. I decided to investigate the guy she had been dating. She knew he was some kind of weirdo and if she could somehow prove it then it could at least save her some trouble. This is going to sound ridiculous, but it really was that simple. I googled her name, searched the first few pages of the results, and found her Facebook account. It was a public profile and I could see it. everything she commented and posted but he was the weird part, the profile said he was in a relationship with another girl and was another single mom.

I also noticed that he was quite active in some online LGBT communities, but he was the weird thing. he had a couple of posts about the stigma against maps or people attracted to minors and it had been a year from now that he posted a five paragraph rant about how kids can be in love with adults and that age was just a number. I found it really disturbing. and I immediately knew that he had bad intentions with Angela's children. I met with Angela and made sure her mother was with us as I told her that her mother was very street savvy and she knew she would be on my side on this issue.

I didn't want Angela to think that she was making things up for me. I took as many screenshots as I could and showed them both. First of all. Angela didn't even know he had Facebook. She had told him no. I don't believe in social media, and what's worse, he had seen her children alone before Angela's mother freaked out and started lecturing her about creepy men. I realized that it was very difficult for Angela to accept the truth. I know it's hard, she really wanted to believe that. a nice, smart, rich, attractive guy wanted to be with her, but this guy clearly wanted to be with his kids more than the other way around Angela apologized to me for being a jerk about this situation and thanked me for taking the trouble to find Angela me he said they reported it to the police and she broke up with him, she asked her kids several questions about the possible abuse and it seemed like nothing happened, luckily I don't know how close it came to being a bad situation and I'm veryhappy that i was smart enough to google the boy's name if i hadn't done that his children could have been kidnapped or worse, all the information i used to convince angela and her mom that this boy was dangerous . it came from a little research a search that Angela apparently didn't do herself also made me realize how gullible people are when they really want to believe something if you want to lie to someone don't tell them something that is difficult tell them something that deep down I want believe and it will be much easier to convince them Angela told me that she was going to take a break from the boys for a while.

I'm back to being a good friend and helping out and everything has been fine since this happened a few years ago the worst thing I've ever been through As this is going to be completely anonymous I'm going to be able to tell you the whole truth of what happened. Writing this has been a huge eye opener for me when you realize how bad the situation was and how stupid it had been. It made me realize that I have incredibly low self esteem in a horrible self image. I have been working on these things since this experience and have been going to therapy regularly after something like this.

I really needed it. He was in his early 30s. I was single and had no luck finding a good girlfriend. I have never been in a relationship that lasted more than a year. I didn't know what I had been doing wrong all along, and a part of me began to believe that I was incapable. of keeping a girl around this was a couple of years ago and i found myself looking for a potential partner on craigslist you guys have it easy these days with all the dating related apps and things on craigslist honestly it was hard the scene of dating on Craigslist in my area was populated enough that I never gave up hope of finding someone I didn't have the confidence to approach a stranger with and didn't even know where I would if I had the confidence that someone had posted on Craigslist who were interested in finding a guy for a possible group activity if you catch my drift I stated that I was a girlfriend and boyfriend who were interested in experimenting I thought I had nothing to lose and if they turned out to be weird or something I could go .

I sent them a message and we got in touch. We agreed to meet and see what happened on a Friday night. It's been about six months since my last relationship and I was excited to get some action. I met them in a bar in the center of my city the girl let's call her Natalie she was very pretty but her boyfriend was not the most attractive in the world he was very overweight and quite ugly if I'm going to be completely honest I didn't care much what he looked like he looked like more interested in her we went back to her house and things took a surprising turn she told her boyfriend to go wait in the other room we had fun i thought this was going to be one of those group things and i wasn't expecting this but oh well , i wasn't complaining after we broke up she started telling me that she was very dissatisfied with her boyfriend she told me that she had been looking for another guy to get into the relationship that she could improve to meet her needs she told me that her boyfriend was honestly too fat to participate I almost didn't believe him at first but he said it with a very straight face and clearly he had given some thought to what he was going to tell me he told me he said he would love to date the two of us and have a polyamorous relationship.

I told him I would think about it. Basically, she gave me the feeling that I was going to be used and that was it. I thought i could. I'm not complaining that it's a dream for most guys. Wait a couple more experiences before we all agreed on what this was going to be like. Two months after the relationship. I moved in with them. I didn't interact much with him. We had some conversations. but honestly, it was pretty awkward, after all, she was only here because he was too old to really please his girlfriend. in our relationship, a girl and a transgender, everyone was always so nice and nothing ever happened without approval.

I understand that this probably sounds extremely strange, but it worked, at least it seemed to work. The whole relationship revolved around Natalie. Eventually we started running a house that could provide We all had our own rooms except Natalie, she didn't have a room of her own, she just slept in a different room almost every night. I always look forward to the nights when she slept in my bed. I also noticed that there was a dynamic we're being nice to natalie meant that she was more likely to sleep in your bed that night, so it became a huge competition of who could buy her the most stuff, do things for her than her. they would make me happy, I didn't see it. at the time, but that's exactly how the whole relationship dynamic was set up and I completely fell for it.

This was one occasion where I bought Nathalie a new necklace, brought home a special dinner for her, and did all of her laundry that day. I really wanted her to myself that night, but the original boyfriend had gone out of his way to pay all the bills for her. the month that normally didn't happen, he and I started arguing and things got a bit confrontational, luckily it didn't turn violent. Nathalie may have been a manipulative demon, but she was good at defusing these tense situations. I remember a couple of times when I would sit and have these group chats where we would discuss what we would move on from our minds.

I brought this up and said it wasn't fair how Nathalie made everyone do her favors if ellika created a competition and we had to compete for her. her love and acceptance now had probably been about 14 months of living with them and being in this polyamorous relationship the night i said i realized she was extremely offended that i even thought this she stopped sleeping in my bed after From that the dynamic had completely changed, no matter how much effort I put into getting him to sleep with me after that, he never did and as desperate as it sounds, I really needed his love and acceptance.

I started to feel really bad about myself and I couldn't. I can't stand it, it was about a month later when she sat me down and she told me it would be better if I packed up my things and moved. She said the chemistry was gone. My heart was broken. I could not believe. As strange as it may have seemed, I have really gotten used to this lifestyle and I couldn't imagine not living this way anymore. I was about to go from living with other people to living alone and that night I honestly thought about breaking up with mine. vida I went for a drive right after she told me that and I almost fell off the bridge.

I started to go, but something in me snapped and I decided not to. When I returned home, I packed my things. I found an apartment to live alone, it was a very dark time in my life. I contacted my parents again and ended up moving back to my hometown. The entire ordeal was miserable and almost caused me to end my own life. I found a decent apartment. I work and I started going to therapy and that's when I really started connecting the dots this relationship was never about new experiences or loving as many people as possible it was really about Natalie making us compete for her attention she had this complex Salvador and treated all of us like we were less than her less than nothing at times was extremely psychologically manipulative and I can't believe how easy I fell in love it was only after a few therapy sessions that it all became so clear I've been single ever since and i spent most of my time with my family now my sister has kids of her own and i have become very close to them they are very nice kids and a part of me really wants kids of my own i am not i am pretty sure im going to start to look for a date again.

It's been maybe a few years since I moved back home and honestly I'm really scared to try and get back to a normal relationship no matter what happens for the rest of my life. happy at least i still have a family that loves and accepts me where i dont have to compete for attention like some kind of puppy in an animal shelter and jessica has been my best friend for a long time and when she started dating this psycho I knew I was in danger but she wasn't listening to me now I'm getting ahead of myself I'm a 22 year old man and this story is about my friend jessica before you made your accusations she did have feelings for her we had dated once and it completely changed the dynamic of our relationship we've been best friends before and then we dated and she told me she didn't want to lose me as a friend our friendship was never the same after that i made it clear i had feelings for her but i guess she didn't feel the same.

I still don't know why she wouldn't date me because she lost me as a friend and as a boyfriend. This had been about a year. After we tried to date, it was only two days and it was pretty weird. Dating someone you've been best friends with for a long time is hard because you have to start acting a certain way. It's not like meeting someone on Tinder. I've got this relationship and all of a sudden there's a romantic element to it and that could be hard and I guess I didn't try hard enough anyway, we still agreed to stay friends after that experience but then again, it didn't really go back to normal . life went on and we parted slowly but surely.

I'm not sure if she had dated other guys at the time, but she didn't tell me about them, if she did, she didn't tell me about any other man she was romantically involved with. until she started dating a guy named Aidan this guy was a complete jerk he wore this dirty camo hoodie all the time and he always smelled like beer I only saw him a few times and I really didn't like him one thing was to be dating jessica but he was almost abusive like he started telling her how to do her hair and how to dress he started controlling every aspect of her life it wasn't long in the relationship she told me he really didn't she cared about our friendship she told me she told me she still wanted to be my friend but she knew this was going to be a problem sooner or later she completely changed her haircut now it was short and blonde and she also started getting tattoos It always seemed strange to me because never He expressed before that he wanted to get a tattoo, but he had the feeling that he was doing it.

She gradually began to withdraw from all of her friends and spent all of her time with Aidan. he told me that Aidan seemed like a bad boy and that he was controlling his stuff they finally came to a point when I had enough I made up my mind that I was going to tell him that I needed to break up with this guy for his own good- since it was obviously affecting his life , he started doing things he had never done before he started being late for work he even started smoking literally who does that? I called her on her phone one day when she was driving to work, she had a 1 p.m. shift. and I didn't wake up until 12:00 something and he was late I tried to explain the whole situation to him and how he had become this completely different person I told him that I was concerned for my own well-being and that this guy was Clearly toxic, he told me to fucked up and hung up, as you can guess, he eventually blocked me on social media and totally upstaged me.

I'm not going to lie to you. It really hurt my feelings. and not reaching out, but trying his best to block me out on everything, seemed a bit extreme. I was half suspecting that Aidan made her do it, but that wasn't my problem anymore. It had been about two weeks when I honestly started. Thinking of her again, I realized that I really missed her and wanted her back in my life. When she blocked me on social media, she made it clear that she wanted nothing to do with me, but that didn't stop me from sending her a message. apology text to her I never got a response and I don't think I even read it I was pretty sure she blocked my phone number too anyway I found myself getting really curious about her I knew I should have stopped thinking about her right now, but I couldn't help it.

I created another Facebook account so I could see how she was doing. the only way i was able to keep up with her in a few weeks we had been out of touch she got three more tattoos she started posting memes about smoking weed and even got engaged to Aiden they hadn't been dating for three months and they were already engaged now i didn't even know what to think i didn't cry or anything i just sat there for a minute and looked at her profile picture it was a picture of her and aiden sitting by the lake drinking beer the more i looked at her and felt more than she was a completely different person now that the look in her eyes had been a look he had never seen before.

I asked a couple mutual friends about her and she didn't really keep in touch. There wasn't a big fight with anyone like there was with me, but she just didn't respond to texts or anything, she was too busy with Aiden. I haven't thought much about her since then. I haven't gotten close or anything like that. I'm not that desperate, she's just not a part of my life anymore. It seems so strange to me how you can meet a random stranger on a dating app. who you are and then you cut off contact with everyone. I never understood what it is with Aiden that he turned her socrazy.

She made so many radical changes in her life so quickly. I no longer ask about her. It took all of this to make it happen. I realize I had stronger feelings for her than I previously thought, but that chance is gone now, even if she broke up with Hayden, she's a completely different person now and I'm not sure I'll be able to look at her the same way again. same way. I hope she's not being abused or something. Aiden definitely gives me those vibes, which is part of the reason I didn't like him from the start, but then again, it's not my problem anymore.

All I can do is try to move on with my own life. so yeah, that's the story of how i lost the girl next door to a drunk tinder user. I would like to start this story by saying that I was always a very good boy growing up. My name is Mike. I was always nice to people and I always followed all the rules. I never drank. alcohol smoked cigarettes took other drugs never went out to parties or even had a girlfriend or did anything inappropriate with girls so when i tell you the story i want you to remember that this was during a time in my life where i was really questioning reality and going through a serious identity crisis with all that being said let's get into it so i consider myself because i like girls and i find guys attractive too.

I don't look gay or feminine or anything else and if I didn't tell you, you probably never would. I guess it's not all guys, I'm only attracted to a few and after reading about it online a couple of years ago, I realized it wasn't a big deal that sometimes you're only attracted to the same sex. kinda i never had a chance to be with the guy i just thought about it i was pretty shy and had a hard time making friends and relationships so i did what any sane person does at first i created some internet dating profiles i just searched women.

He was definitely interested in dating a guy, but he really didn't want that much. I knew there was going to be a certain stigma attached to our relationship. It wasn't like we lived in San Francisco or anything. I had that social freedom, so I knew I was going to be doing myself a favor by just dating a girl after a few weeks of trying to find a decent woman. I felt a bit frustrated. The women I met were horrible. I just started. matching any women i could and got where uggos single moms and thoughts i remember having an attitude about it women online seemed like lesser quality people as rude as that sounds and any of the apparently decent ones never reply to me and i feel the need to point out that I'm not ugly or anything like that.

I am quite attractive. I'm no Brad Pitt but I thought I was handsome enough to at least get someone of equivalent looks and I think I was wrong. I remember that I was very moved. At one point when a girl agreed to go out with me she seemed like a real attraction and was incredibly attractive not great with boys but then when day night came she told me she was having car trouble and her Mechanic needed five hundred bucks wanted me to lend it and he promised to pay it back I blocked her and gave up on women for a while That's when I decided to make a Grindr profile I mean I had nothing to lose and I'm sure there were plenty of decent guys on the area that they could at least keep me company until I can find someone who would be a subtle long-term partner the night I installed Grindr. my guy tall muscular and unafraid to take his shirt off we skipped the whole dinner thing and got right into action it was a really fun night and i enjoyed it so much more than i ever thought i would when i got semi addicted to one -night stands with guys went on for months and i was out doing this every weekend sometimes even during the week and then i remember meeting one guy in particular who changed at all his name was fred and for someone i might be the person more malicious than me.

I've ever met had a very innocent and inappropriate name he was one of the few guys who wanted to do weird things before he got into it he wanted a lot of clay roll which was quite unusual and unexpected he was extremely manipulative and I don't know why I agreed to something of that for some reason i just couldnt tell him no he was sadistic domineering he made me feel horrible about myself i ended up giving him my number and we started having regular dates he told me he didnt want me to see anyone else he just went to see him I couldn't explain it to you if I could I've thought about this a lot in hindsight and all I can imagine is that drugs had been slipping into my system somehow, which very well may have been the case, whatever the reason, he always got his way and then things started to escalate, foreplay got even more extreme. things you wouldn't even dream of doing in your wildest fantasy.

I remember being strangled once and passed out. He had something in his mouth to stop him from saying something or stop him in some way. I could not resist. After that, I tried it. telling him I don't like this kind of thing but he refused to listen to me, told me he didn't care what I wanted, as horrible as it seemed, I still didn't do anything about it, I just let him things climax when he tried From forcing myself to kill a dog, he had already psychologically manipulated me in so many ways that I almost did it.

It was like I read a psychology book on how to program someone to obey because I'm not going to lie. I came very close to doing it. I remember punching him in the face and literally running away. I blocked his number and did everything I could to avoid it. After that, he tried to contact me several times. I decided to stay with a company now. I told him that he was gone and that I didn't like men, especially him. Looking back. The whole experience saddens me. It was really traumatic and I didn't even realize it. until after it happened, but he was using role-playing as a way to psychologically condition me and there's a part of me that's really scared that he's going to do it to someone else.

I have tried calling the police and reporting it before but never did. some evidence that i got a restraining order on him last month and hopefully that's the last i hear from him. I know all of that went from zero to 100 fast but it's been a while but I think after this I'll stick around. with just dating girls if i date anyone hey folks thanks for listening be sure to subscribe and hit the notification arch to be alerted of all future storytelling if you have a story be sure to submit it to my subreddit let's officially read and let's give and get feedback from the community and maybe even hear your story in the next video and join my discord to interact with me and other listeners directly and if you want to support me even more get early access to all future
