I matched with a guy in a paid for dating app .
He was local and we agreed to meet last Sunday for dinner . It was going well but it transpired he was in my line of work having retired 5 years previously. He then told me he'd been married 3 times , his second wife is someone I work with now . I was a bit taken aback , he claimed all 3 marriages failed because of the women's actions which I found hard to believe and told me some take abkut the woman I work with .
I told him that if I'd known I worked with his second ex wife I wouldn't have had the date and asked for discretion.
Today a mutual colleague messaged me asking if I was seeing this man . He told his daughter who told her mother - my colleague.
I've explained the circumstances and how we matched on a date app and said since this has come to light I won't see him again .
Why the frickin hell did he tell his daughter that he was seeing me !? It was one bloody date ! I can only presume it was to provoke a reaction in his ex wife ? It's made life awkward for me and absolutely scuppered any second date plans because he's clearly an idiot .
I've messaged mutual colleague back saying I've no intention of seeing him again - that he isn't "seeing me" it was one date off the back of a date app . I've messaged him to tell him I won't be seeing him again and blocked him .
There was a lot of baggage - 3 failed marriages none of them his fault of course - and I was wary due to this but I'd perhaps have seen him again if he has t rode roughshod over what he said and blabbled to all and sundry .
I've dodged a bullet haven't I ? What a bloody idiot .
