It looked better before we started to eat. By the end we finished, it didn't look good.

so, there is an app called Nymph which promotes itself to be the place for curious people. it's just full of scams and shady people. this story is one such scam which i averted. thanks to reddit and some insta pages.

so i matched with a girl and she was unlike other accounts. she wrote imperfect and genuine human messages which will make you trust her to be a real person and profile. then she will ask you genuine questions about you and share a story about herself. that she is not from pune and she studies hotel management. she is her to meet her sister and she stays in tingre nagar. she will say she is from some place north like chandigarh. unlike most women she will ask you what do you drink and then in few seconds share her WhatsApp number and pro actively ping you.

on whatsapp, she will suggest that she would be happy to meet. when you say yes without knowing how quick she is. she will say tonight. this is for sunday early evening. you tell her that you are busy till dinner and can meet post dinner. then she will ask you to try to come early but to a place nearby her house. that place is aeromall. i started doubting her and then as precaution kept most of my wallet items at home and just took minimal cash, one debit card and my phone. i was giving her the benefit of doubt.

once you reach, you will see a person very different from the photos. dressed like a person wearing second hand clothes with poor taste of fashion. nothing close to what her pics depicted. she will walk with you inside and when you suggest that let's go to the family court or a bar upstairs, then she will suddenly point to the place in the picture. i felt suprised and didn't like the place from the name and look of it. i said it's very off. she then said that upstairs people might recognise her as this is her area and this is one place she is comfortable going because she has been there. dumb answers for someone new to the city and who doesn't know places. when you refuse, she will ask you to check the place from inside. once i saw it, i was sure that this is one of those scams where the girl takes a guy to drink. the prices are crazy for shit items and then the hotel coaxes or threatens you to pay the unfair and exorbitant bill. i stepped out and told her we can go to a better branded place. she then threw tantrum and cited her comfort. when i said i will take you to a good place than this. she immediately said i am going home. i didn't stop her or held her hand, which i think pissed her off even more. somehow i was shocked that i was finally in a scam situation which i have read about. so i felt its ok if she is going and partially i felt she is just expecting me to stop her. i will not and i didn't. she didn't even turn back and there she goes.

i then went again to the bar and asked for the menu. the two guys there felt like tik tok emobois. and they didn't even know the h of hospitality. i asked for timings and he said the place shuts down in 10 mins. i was like what? why was the girl getting me here? then i realised why she was asking me to come early for drinks. i left the place and clicked a picture to make sure I shared it on reddit.

i made an attempt to call the girl but she didn't pick up and she had already unmatched me on the nymph app. i dropped her a message acting like i am still clueless and interested in her. she replied but again didn't pick up the call.

i found a good place nearby, had a wonderful meal and filter coffee and then took the return trip back home. all this in 3 hours of a sunday evening. and before i move on in life, i just wanted to share this with others so that they can stay away from this bar and this woman. she used a fake profile herself so i don't think you can track her. and she might be there on regular dating apps too. beware if the venue is this place or anywhere in aeromall. beware if she asks you out on drinks without even knowing anything about you.

as much as i try to be progressive and make room for modern women claiming their agency, this episode makes me wonder that stereotypes are often a mark of predictability and security. while you can have a spontaneous plan with someone new who is broadminded and living his / her life on their terms, move ahead with caution.
