Missed connection
I just had the most ridiculous experience. I was supposed to meet a Bumble date at a coffee shop and ended up meeting the wrong person.
The person who I was supposed to meet was named "Mio", and was an Chinese woman in tech. The person I actually met used the username "Camio" on a different app and was Chinese and Japanese. She looked different from her pictures, but close enough that I thought with filters or misrepresentation they could have been the same person. When I asked if she was Mio, she just figured I'd misspoke and said "yes," so we just continued on the date.
When we started talking about work, she mentioned that she was a nurse. I asked about her mentioning tech and she said "oh, you must have me mistaken for another date". I didn't think that I had mistaken it, but on Mio's profile, they mentioned that their friend had made the account and that they were actually 2 years older than the account showed. So I thought maybe it was some sort of shared account or something. But figured what the hell, I'm already a 20 mins in, I might as well keep getting to know them.
I ended up spending an hour talking to this woman until she asked what I was looking for. I mentioned that I was looking for something long term. She said "oh, that's surprising - I didn't think that people usually looked for that on this app". At that point, it was a bit too different to reconcile. So I said "Wait, are we even on the right date? I feel like a lot of people look for that on Bumble."
Turns out we weren't. And when I opened the app, Mio had unmatched me. So Mio, if you got stood up today, you have reddit, and you somehow stumble upon this post, I'm so sorry! It was an honest mistake and I didn't mean to ghost you! If you have a boatload of understanding and can appreciate the humor behind what happened, feel free to message me any time. I owe you a coffee!
