I texted someone on reddit to find out more about her solo travelling experience. Then, the convo flowed very naturally, and it got to us just chatting about totally random stuff (everyday life, work, sitcoms etc). Just as we were vibing really well, she suddenly asked me for my type. Then, she asked if I was keen on meeting up with her and to see where this goes.
I didn't mind but I thought it would be better if she sent a picture of her first. (Honestly, asking for her Instagram makes more sense but I wasn't thinking properly) I asked for that and she sent one over straight away. Damn. She looked absolutely stunning in that photo. I sent mine over too and it was sorted.
I met her a few weeks after at a cafe in her city (her city was an hour away from mine by train, so it wasn't too much trouble honestly). I walked in and I did not recognise her at all. Suddenly, she started waving at me. I was absolutely stunned. No way that's her. She looked like a completely different person. (not fatphobic, but she looked much fatter than the photo) I was fuming a little inside as I felt I had been lied to and treated like a fool.
I sat down and she started talking. She had a high pitch voice that was just unbearable. She also sounded very self-absorbed, which wasn't what I was expecting from the reddit texts. Then, she ordered 1 cake and 1 macaron for herself, alongside with 1 matcha latte. I was shocked. I only had 1 simple cappuccino to drink.
After the meal, I assumed we were going to split. I felt I make it kinda clear I was not interested and this was not a date. However, when the bill came, all she did was say 'thanks babe'. She did not even offer to split at all.
I completely wasted my time travelling to her city and meeting her. I wanted to confront her about the photo, but I decided to let it slide. I am just absolutely fuming.
TL;DR I met up with this girl from reddit, who looked completely different from her photo. The 'date' was horrific.
