Fake Picture: My Worst Date Ever

by Iris
(Johannesberg, SA)

Being a woman has its ups and downs. I have dated various guys. The good, the bad well I have not done ugly yet but this date could pass for ugly. I met Greg online. He seemed like the dream of any woman. His statistics seemed perfect: tall, dark and handsome. I would sometimes dream and imagine him next to me. After months of online dating we finally met for the first time and I was shocked when we met at a restaurant.

I was checking out every tall guy who came in, suddenly a guy comes in with chubby cheeks. He walks towards the barman who points him in my direction because I choose my local restaurant. My heart was racing but I knew I had been scammed. I thought about heading for the door but on second thought I decided to stay.

He introduced himself and apologized for using a fake picture. I decided to look past it and let the day continue but to my surprise he kept commenting about how sexy I looked while staring at me. He was really sloppy while eating, with cheese all over his mouth, finally I asked him to pick up a pen which dropped then I noticed this huge bulge in his trousers.

My phone rang and I pretended I had an emergency that was the last time I ever spoke to him. I deleted his name from my online friends. It was like a bad dream and I vowed to be more careful online and ask more pertinent questions rather than get carried away by looks.
