So I’ve been dejectedly frustrated at myself for what I did in the past 3 hours and wanted to vent, so sorry for the long post.
I wanted to try casual dating on Tinder and have been trying to meet up with people, and I decided to sign up using only my computer to talk to people (big mistake).
So, I matched with a guy nearby and we called each other to verify each other’s identity, and he told me that he also has been wanting to meet with people but every time he tried it has been a bust. He was really sweet and really tired of the failed conversations.
So we agreed to meet today to hook up at a specific hotel which he paid for $100~, and before we went there we met up at a mall parking lot to talk. I waited there for a while and it took a minute to recognize each other, and I told him I only use Tinder on my laptop so I couldn’t contact him on my phone, and that was the best time to exchange contact info, which didn’t happen. (big mistake x2)
We decided to drive separately to the hotel, and I used Google Maps to guide me. When I got there I sat there for 30 minutes looking for him. Since I didn’t have Tinder on my phone I wasn’t able to message to him, and I tried to contact him by opening Tinder on my phone. Since Tinder requires a phone number and an email (that I didn’t have on my phone) I couldn’t log in.
So, I tried logging into Tinder by finding an account with my email, and since Tinder said it found my account I hoped that it would let me access it. (big mistake x3)
Welp. It created a new account with my number and email, and I was told to refill all my info (I hoped that it would log me rather than creating a new account). This would end up resetting my Tinder account and losing all of my contacts. This logged me out of my Tinder account on the computer. So I have no way of messaging him since we didn’t exchange any sort of contact info. (which I realized now I just should’ve asked)
I logged in on my computer and started swiping madly to find the him. I actually found him again after a couple swipes, and then I realized I should have super-liked him so he would hopefully see my new account. (big mistake x4)
By this time I was reviewing in my head what could have gone wrong and then I looked on Google Maps and realized I went to the wrong hotel. I felt so bad.
