“The worst match of my life”; user narrates the dangers of using dating apps
Via a Twitter thread, a user shared what was the worst match of his life. This passed through Tinder platform.
According to his words, at first everything started well. They started dating in March and chatted 24/7. However, when asked about her Instagram, the first indication that something was not normal was present. The boy in question denied having a profile on said social network, but he always saw the user’s stories.
Despite this, at first he did not suspect anything and even something interesting and mysterious was done to him. However, when he made a trip to Monterrey to Mexico City with his friends, everything was more and more strange.
He began to receive confusing messages in the other City and in the places he visited. Also, she found a note in the hotel where she was already staying.
in one of the 10,000 trips to the bathroom because I’m always peeing, a bestie I went with sends me this audio and that’s it, I was half fart so I didn’t pay attention that someone in CDMX (where I don’t live) went to ask for me, maybe he confused me 🙃🙃 pic.twitter.com/4zTUUmLQNv

After these tweets, he commented that the user acted strange and communicated less and less, to the point where he was offended when he asked if he had been responsible. Despite everything, after a few days, the subject in question decided to get in touch and they went out for coffee.
His surprise was that the suspicions were true and the subject confessed to having been the one spying on him:
out of nowhere he showed me these photos… wow that’s just around the corner from the hotel, when he showed it to me if it was from mmmm???? context and the very cynical sick man tells me: I was there too 😘, WEY WHAT for????

The last update shared by the user on the subject was the following:
“I just told him in a good way that it was not right and that he could not continue seeing someone who did that. The p****** still questioned me why and the net just told him that it was something sick and that anyone else would sue him. I was very angry.” @franloera_
Without a doubt, it would be necessary to think that holding Tinder completely responsible would not be ideal, since the page only connects people with each other. For years, however, some have wondered if there will ever be more secure filters for users.
