NC for this. Have been seeing a guy for a few weeks. We matched on an app and were chatting loads, including sexting, sending pics, and talking on the phone. We had a date last week and slept together. All great, as far as.i knew.

Today I get a message from his number, but it's his girlfriend - who I had no idea existed - saying she's obviously found his phone and he's cheated on her with not just me but other women too.

I thought I had a pretty good radar for this sort of thing and when I've seen red flags with other men I've dumped them straight away. But this guy - I totally believed he was single, and he seemed so convincing. There was nothing that made me think I should be worried. The only thing was his communication was a bit sporadic at times. That bothered me a bit but it wasn't enough to clue me in.

I feel sick about the situation and just horrified for his partner. Not sure what advice anyone can give me. Is there something more I should have been looking out for? I mean, obviously there was, but he was so convincing.

The face advice is good advice. There are a couple of pics with my face in tbh but they are kind of tame and I look awesome in them and so 🤷‍♀️

But I agree in general - disappearing pics and no faces are the rule.

Pictures disappear from your chat but when you click to view they will get saved on your iPhone, that's why the dissapearing images feature is pointless.

According to WhatsApp that's not the case. They can't be saved and don't go into your gallery.

No doubt some tech whizz has got a way around this but as standard, they don't get saved to your phone in any way and you can't screenshot them.

Nooo OP, don’t say that, some posters are trying to freak you out and make you feel bad for enjoying sex. Please don’t spoil their fun!

(BTW still snorting at the idea that YOU have egg on your face for sleeping with someone who turned out to be a dishonest liar. Errr, more like HE’S the one who looks stupid!)

Enough of the slut shamming c'mon ladies, absolutely nothing wrong with adult fun and sex on first date, problem is that PLENTY of those guys are in a relationship, it's the ugly truth, and they will tell you whatever it takes in order to get into your pants. There's no way of knowing if Joe from Essex who I met on Tinder last week and I'm about to shag is married or not (unless I ask him for his real name and do a police background check).

So yeah... be prepared for these things to happen, not that they're right, but OLD is full of con artists looking for naive women for a shag. Adult fun can be fun but lets not be naive OP, a lot of men are liars. Looking for adult fun on an OLD first date with single men who will be honest, treat you kindly and with respect is a bit like finding a needle in a haystack. When and if it happens consider yourself lucky.

We've had a long conversation. She had a lot of questions and I answered them as best I could.

I think you’re writing to him.

He slept with you and achieved whatever he wanted is sex. Now he’s playing a sick game with you.

Haha that would be soooo sick! If he's gone to so much trouble I would be actually flattered 🤣

Number is blocked now anyway, so don't fret, ladies! I've got another date tonight and it's a hot one 🔥

I'm curious where you find so many guys who are actually good at sex?

I've met a couple of lovely men on tinder but you have to get through a lot of timewasters on there. Try some of the kink apps. I'm fairly vanilla but people there are more interested in sex and talking about what they want. On tinder/OLD you get a lot of men who think they have to trick women into sex, which is a recipe for bad sex and bad experiences. But it takes time to find lovely men who you're sexually compatible with. Sexting can be a good way of figuring out if you would have fun in real life. Also makes it easy to filter out the men who are driven by porn (because they all say the exact same things!)

You’re spot on about high porn consumers all saying the same things. I’ve done a lot of work with sex education for teenagers and it’s just the same lines / stories / tropes over and over and over and over again.

Red flags - well sexting and swapping pics before you've even met are obvious standouts! How well can you know someone on a first date when diving in? - not that there's anything wrong with either if you accept you're both scratching an itch rather than aiming for anything meaningful. You knew he was a horndog from the off, so the chances were higher that he's a guy totally lead by his dick, and the examples of that were many. It's really not surprising.

Sorry Op, but @Opentooffers has completely nailed it.
