Online dating in India has been around for over a decade now. From chatting for hours on Yahoo Messenger to posting Scraps on your crush's profile having a Kung Fu Panda display picture, we have come a long way. With Tinder, things are easier, and from making match to the first date, things can move pretty quick. But not necessarily smooth.
Tinder dating has its ups and downs. Some sweet and some bitter. And the worst? Your match not showing up on your date! A Twitter user (@livetimefe) shared her rant on the same. We would say somewhere out there, a dude is in deep trouble.
Here's her story.
Going on a tinder date. Have a feeling I'm going to be stood up.

Yup. Got stood up.

First time I've been stood up by a guy who asked me out.
Gah. What a waste of makeup today was.

And here goes her rant.
A couple days ago, I had a date. Now I met this guy on Tinder and we didn't talk much, but he asked me out quick, and I liked that (1/n)

(2/n) the guy is an Indian from London, and we exchanged numbers and started Whatsapping. Not too much conversation but it was nice then

(4/n) so being a little cautious, I picked the place and time and it was set. He continued texting me. Very decent, good convo.
— Valia Babycats (@livetimefe) February 3, 2016
Date's fixed!
(3/n) he said he was visiting and wasn't very good with text so he wanted to meet on Sunday. Which I agreed to doing, cause hey why not
— Valia Babycats (@livetimefe) February 3, 2016
A little changes in timings are okay, no?
(5/n) Closer to the date at 7.30 (around 5 pm) he texted asking if we could push to 8.30 + apologised for last minute change. I said ok

(6/n) As I was leaving I texted him to let him know I'm on my way. Only to find his WhatsApp DP (which I could see earlier) was not visible.
— Valia Babycats (@livetimefe) February 3, 2016
Okay, a little worried now.
(7/n) a bunch of texts later (which all were single tick on WhatsApp) I reached the bar and sat down. I texted him to tell him I'd reached
— Valia Babycats (@livetimefe) February 3, 2016
(8/n) no response. I wanted to call, but his number is a UK number and I am not that desperate, BITCHES. So I found company, and chilled
— Valia Babycats (@livetimefe) February 3, 2016
Making someone wait on the first date? Umm, big NO!
(9/n) decently at 2 half hour intervals I texted him to remind him I'm waiting (pointless cause messages still be single ticks).
— Valia Babycats (@livetimefe) February 3, 2016
(10/n) I waited 2 hours. During which time, I made 4 friends, had several cocktails and ate chicken. I'd say I was having a good night
— Valia Babycats (@livetimefe) February 3, 2016
(11/n) now here's why it's fucked up. I STILL gave him the benefit of doubt, considering that he probably had his phone stolen or summat
— Valia Babycats (@livetimefe) February 3, 2016
Okay this is weird.
(12/n) so I went home and decided to check Tinder to see if he'd left me a msg. Guess what? He'd unmatched me on Tinder. Excuse me, what?
— Valia Babycats (@livetimefe) February 3, 2016
(13/n) So now I'm furious, cause hey, you asked me out on a date, you stood me up and you blocked me? Like get your shit together man.
— Valia Babycats (@livetimefe) February 3, 2016
(14/n) people, let me tell you something. Never stand someone up. They made time for you. Which is important. So respect that.
— Valia Babycats (@livetimefe) February 3, 2016
(15/n) respect the fact they took time out their schedule to meet your ugly ass and just fucking go through with it even if they ugly af.
— Valia Babycats (@livetimefe) February 3, 2016
Lacking basic etiquette.
(16/n) cause this is basic mutual respect for human beings. And I get it if you can't show up, the least you can do is inform the person.
— Valia Babycats (@livetimefe) February 3, 2016
Time to find that ditcher!
(17/n) so now I go and try to find this punk ass bitch on FB and give him a good scolding but I can't find him. So I Google him.
— Valia Babycats (@livetimefe) February 3, 2016
Jackpot!
(18/n) oh, and God bless Google cause it threw up the Ace, his LinkedIn profile and now I'm like Hannibal Lecter plotting some nasty shit
— Valia Babycats (@livetimefe) February 3, 2016
He's a goner!
Found him on FB.
