  • A few years ago, I went out on a date with a guy I met online. We went to a nice restaurant, and he ordered the drinks while I chose the appetizers.

    My drink tasted a bit off, and shortly after that I started feeling really dizzy.

    I went to the bathroom to get some air and ended up collapsing in the hallway. He didn’t even realize I was gone.

    The staff called an ambulance, and I was taken to the hospital with food poisoning. He only found out what happened when he texted me days later to accuse me of ghosting him.

  • I matched with a guy who wouldn’t stop talking about how “special” our first date would be.

    We met at a cozy restaurant, and halfway through the meal, he asked the waiter to bring out a cake.

    I assumed it was just a cute gesture, until I saw “Happy Birthday, Mom!” written on it and watched his mother walk in with two aunts behind her. He cheerfully introduced me as “the girl I might marry one day,” on our very first date, while his family grilled me about kids, religion, and my cooking skills. I blew out the candles, excused myself to “take a call,” and never went back inside.
