My Tinder Date Was Using Me To Stalk My Roommate | A Dating Horror Story

When a girl super-liked and messaged me first on Tinder, I was excited. We planned a casual walk for our first date. Five minutes in, she asked about my roommates. When I mentioned "Mark," her entire demeanor changed. She knew everything about him—his family, his hobbies, his girlfriend. For two hours, she obsessively asked questions about him, gushing about his hair and how nice he smelled. The date wasn't about me at all.

Afterward, she suggested going back to my place. Creeped out, I declined. When I told my roommate Mark about the bizarre date, he immediately called the police. The girl was arrested in our backyard for violating a restraining order. She had been stalking him for nearly a year and used me to find out where he lived.

This is a story about being an unwitting pawn in someone's dangerous obsession. Was I just unlucky, or were there red flags I should have seen earlier? Leave your verdict in the comments.
