Why Did These Dates Turn Into Nightmares_ 4 TRUE Unnerving Tinder Horror Stories
from Buried Files · host Buried Files
DESCRIPTION:One swipe was all it took to turn a first date into a nightmare: a Tinder match that started a pattern of stalking and obsession, a single mom trapped in an empty parking lot at midnight by a man who wouldn't let her leave, and a date that ended in a shallow grave.In this episode, we present four true and deeply unsettling stories of Tinder dates that went horribly wrong. A woman who matched with a seemingly charming man soon realized he knew where she worked and started appearing at her coffee shop uninvited [citation:1]. Another woman, excited by a carefully planned date with a thoughtful man, found herself in a tense standoff in a dark parking lot at midnight when the man refused to let her go [citation:7]. A date from a dating app in Delhi turned into a scam at a café where a staggering 50,000 rupee bill was presented [citation:2]. And a date in 2019 turned into a nightmare when a dating app user in New Zealand was murdered, with the killer later using a controversial "rough sex" defence in court [citation:5].These stories reveal how online connection can mask real-life danger. When a swipe right leads to a moment of trust, that trust can be exploited by stalkers, con artists, and killers.Listen to this full episode—if you dare—and learn the real terror that can hide behind a profile.
