“This Is Why Women Pick The Bear”: Tinder Creep Demands A Second Date, Gets A Police Report Instead

Online dating is hard, and even when someone seems great on their profile, conversations can quickly take a strange and uncomfortable turn if you match with them.

So when Reddit user SherbetOld7724 met a guy on Tinder who seemed thoughtful, funny, and easy to talk to, it felt like a breath of fresh air.

Pretty soon, they went on a romantic date he had planned, and everything was going well—until he had to step away to take a call.

The promising night then turned into a tense standoff in an empty parking lot, and the creep wouldn’t leave the woman alone in the weeks that followed.

A blind date is the ultimate roll of the dice
