To make my bf wait hours for his blind date

567 replies

RedTartanLass · 04/01/2018 12:17

Ok so I've not been on here for years ...... but I'm raging. My bf has been behaving suspiciously so I checked online and right enough the wanker has a POF profile!

So I catfished him and we're meeting today at 12:30 ..... well he thinks we are ... I'm not turning up. Want to see how long I can make him wait!

If you're in Swindon feel free to give him a wave!!

Am I being unreasonable to make him wait a couple of hours. Will I be able to drag it out that long .....

I think what photo she used is pretty irrelevant! and she's hardly likely to tell us!

Solly76 · 04/01/2018 13:19

I'm so sorry he's doing this to you, what an arsehole. I'm sure you know you deserve much better

That seems to be prevalent on online dating - loads of married or attached men on there pretending to be single. I came off POF because of it.

TrinitySquirrel · 04/01/2018 13:19

What the hell does it matter what photo the OP used in her profile to trick him?! Jesus people.

beingGoodNow · 04/01/2018 13:19

Why is everyone obsessed with the photo? You know OP will have used a fake one from online, already in the public domain.

FaithEverPresent · 04/01/2018 13:19

I would definitely say that catfish has realised she knows him and he has a GF.

Sorry you’ve gone through this but welcome back to MN. Onwards and upwards Red!

RatRolyPoly · 04/01/2018 13:20

No, not the OP, but why would she answer a question that has only one sensible - and totally obvious - answer??

I googled "good looking 50 year old woman" and used a stock photo.

Right have told I'm I'm just around the corner at Debenhams ..... so managed to nearly drag it out an hour!!

But no coffee!!

If it doesn't matter then why won't the OP answer the question?

It was just a simple question, not a big deal at all. The same as all the questions on this thread.

Her refusal to answer seems to have now made it a 'thing' Confused

WorraLiberty · 04/01/2018 13:22

Oh right, thanks.

TsunamiOfShit · 04/01/2018 13:22

You should tell him he's not your type on POF.

Then (assuming you don't live together) ghost him in real life. Just block him and let him forever wonder what happened.

gingergenius · 04/01/2018 13:22

It feels like shot op. I just wish I'd done this!!!!

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 04/01/2018 13:22

Red, you must’ve joined about the same time as me. Has it really been that long?

Oh penguin-date. That was a corker.

Look after yourself this afternoon. When the excitement and adrenaline’s fades it’s going to be hard. At least you didn’t waste any more time on him. Onwards and upwards!

RemainOptimistic · 04/01/2018 13:23

I'd be tempted to send him on a series of fake dates with fake profiles. As for seeing you - ghost him/just keep being busy.

I'm excited one of these knobheads has been caught in the act!

debbs77 · 04/01/2018 13:23

I'm so sorry you're going through this.....

But you're my hero! Amazing idea!

gingergenius · 04/01/2018 13:23

This thread is totally distracting me from my college work!!!

Justbreathing · 04/01/2018 13:23

I would send him a couple more nice texts. lets meet up this weekend etc.

and then totally ghost him. block him on everything
I can tell you, that will be very very hard to take. much harder than you telling him to F-Off

gingergenius · 04/01/2018 13:24

Anyone got the penguin date thread link?

YetAnotherSpartacus · 04/01/2018 13:24

I thought the beverage in question in these situations was a Pina Colada, after a walk in the rain.

Justbreathing · 04/01/2018 13:25

@gingergenius
you don't need it! you need to get on with your college work!! Wink

unicornpoopoop · 04/01/2018 13:25

I too was just about to ask for the penguin date link!

soundslikeballons · 04/01/2018 13:25

@RemainOptimistic he's never fall for it again. I was surprised he didn't ask for mobile number. We just communicated by POF .....

Oh wait ..... of course he wouldn't give out his number ... :(

Tell him you walked past and saw him, he looked so desperate you realised your deserve much better for a man, and is he has the married down trodden look about him, and you think he is cheating on someone

ferriswheel · 04/01/2018 13:25

Op Very well done.

Bastard.
