Guy I met on hinge

Okay so some background info I was on hinge and I matched with this guy he lived in Houston I am based in Austin. After talking to him for a bit he offered to uber me out to Houston so we could have a date. I agreed and we had start making plans. He FaceTimes me (keep this in mind later) and is like wow you’re so beautiful I can’t wait to see you blah blah blah whatever you get the point. Anyways so I get in the uber he ordered the driver super nice guy we get there 2 hours later. I get out the car see the guy and it’s already weird because he gave the wrong address and we meet at a gas station. He sees me smiles and gives me a hug I’m thinking everything was cool and he tells me he was gonna talk to the driver about giving me a ride home I’m like okay cool. He takes forever talking to the driver which I found odd. When he finally comes back he’s like “I don’t wanna be an asshole but I feel catfished” and then quickly doubled down after that and said that he had a girlfriend and that he shouldn’t have done this in the first place. At this point I am completely caught off guard and just confused cause why would you lead with that and then say you have a girlfriend when you just had me come 2 hours to see you like ???! So I’m like whatever it’s cool and I told him I did NOT appreciate him putting me in this situation because I could’ve stayed home and went to sleep. I then get back into the uber and the uber driver tells me that he was telling him I lied about my pictures and that I am not who I said I was which is insane I don’t even put filters on any of my pictures other than like the paris filter sometimes on insta but never anything that completely digitally alters my face. Apparently the uber driver was like “this is one of the prettiest girls I’ve seen I don’t know what you’re talking about” and I appreciate the homie for vouching for me even tho he didn’t have to. I even showed the driver my hinge profile to get his opinion if my pictures were different and at first glance he literally said “that’s you who else could that be ?” GIRL IDK!!! This whole situation has my mind boggled I have never in my life been accused of being a catfish so this is just such an odd experience for me. Also I want to add I don’t normally do stuff like this it was so out of my comfort zone and I was feeling impulsive but I’m honestly glad this how it ended instead of going further and possibly putting me in harms way so idk he also gave me $150 for my time so I’m not too mad about it all but it just bothers me how I could’ve been in bed (I work nightshift) so yeah any thoughts opinions? Would like to hear some feedback for this one.
