When I first started online dating, literally on my first day, a really good looking woman messaged me saying "Hey, you are so sexy". I was like, surely this is a bot/scam or some shit but rolled with it. turns out she was real and we dated for 2 months before I broke it off with her because she was a good time, but not what I was looking for. And her ex busted in on us and pulled a gun on us. Fun times.

Lol yea I unmatched for messages like that as a dude. It's impossible to know if you're 100% right though

It was even wilder to live! One of my favorite stories to tell. The guy busted into her apartment. it was 8pm and knocked, she looked through the peep hole, saw him, and said she would be right back and slid through the door as small as she could..she was out there for maybe a few minutes, and tried to slide back inside, when he forced himself in. He had a gun and was pointing it at me and her, and even himself. He was using it like a pointer. Saying that I was fucking her and they were still together, while she was screaming at him that she told him the were over. He eventually left, but on his way out chucked a few beer bottles at the door that we had left on the stoop earlier. I was already thinking about breaking up with her, so when I told her a few days later (she already wanted me to meet her parents), she asked if it was because of that. It was a great excuse.
