lightstar86 Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Hi I was just wondering what peoples opinions on looking at dates on social media. I have friends who are very against it but found recently that it could have saved me a bit of heartbreak. I met this guy on tinder and we were happily dating for about a month. Everything seemed to be going well we text each other every day, went out on dates and had cosy nights in watching films. I met his family and he met mine. then suddenly things changed he couldn't see me one evening as he was seeing a friend which seemed odd as we had made plans but I saw him in the day instead. Then the weird messages started his phone wasn't working, he was Ill so he couldn't see me or speak to me. Then he's telling me he still wants to see me but was going to be quiet for awhile as he needed time to himself. After trying to call I decided to go around to his guess what he wasn't in. After me speaking to his dad he later text me with excuses about him being too busy for a relationship etc. Anyway these messages stretched out over a week and in that time my gut was telling me something. We were friends on Facebook so there were no secrets there. I knew he had a twitter account and as I didn't have one so hadn't looked for it boy I wish I had. He was sending his ex messages on there and had been trying to get back with her before we even met. He had lied the whole time telling me they split a year ago. There was 5 weeks. He also lied saying she had cheated when he had cheated on her. It looks as if they are back together. I wish I had looked beforehand as I would have never gone near him. Has anyone else had similar experiences?
truth_seeker Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 You were a semi-rebound, back-pocket option in case he couldn't get his ex back. Why are you meeting each other's families so soon? It's hard to trust people these days.
Author lightstar86 Posted November 15, 2015 Author Posted November 15, 2015 We met each other's families because we both live at home still. So I met his when I went there to watch a film and he met mine when he came to pick me up.
d0nnivain Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 When I 1st started dating anybody I Googled them. I did this in a age when social media was in its infancy. I think it's a tool, period. But I think anybody who doesn't look up their new person is a fool. I'm sorry this guy turned out to be a liar but at least you found out sooner rather than later.
