Man Gets Blocked On Hinge After Driving One Hour To Meet His Date
Is it even a date when the other person doesn’t show up?
One Hinge date turned into a long drive, a blocked number, and a movie night spent alone.
A Nebraska man known on Twitter as drugs_abuser said he was heading to Omaha for a movie date with a woman he met on Hinge, but things fell apart the moment he let her know he had arrived. Instead of meeting up, she blocked and unadded him, leaving him to watch the film by himself and joke about the whole thing online.
The story is awkward, funny, and painfully familiar for anyone who has tried online dating. Read on.
Big L for this guy
Imagine planning a movie date with someone, driving an hour to meet the person, only to end up blocked and alone. Heartbreaking!

The best spots to meet someone new...someone who won't block you, that is.
@frbrthngbttrflyWho knows, he might have just dodged a bullet
According to this user, there’s only one winner, and it’s not her.

His first mistake
Is finding love in Nebraska that difficult?

Watching a movie and then ghosting—must have hurt real bad
All in a day’s work.

This commenter went to see a movie alone and came back with a girlfriend
Everyone’s dream.

It’s basically the same as the friend who ditched a long-planned road trip for date night and ignored calls.
Another first mistake?
Hinge seems to have earned itself a bad reputation.

Difficulty picking sides
@HomosexualMoron
It’s a mystery
Even to the OP (original poster) too.
@keepoffgrasss
Another angle
Was OP too hot to handle, perhaps? Is that why his date stood him up?

Flintstones cars in Nebraska
Driving, running; it’s all semantics.

Pointing out the fundamental mistake
Now, every girl in Omaha is getting the shades.
@priestofchaos
Much needed camaraderie
Someone else who knows how it feels.

This commenter may be onto something.

As great as online dating is, many people have had terrible experiences with it. We guess this is the part where the saying 'nothing good comes easy' comes into play.
Although OP didn’t get the opportunity to enjoy a night out with his Hinge date, at least he received support from many well-meaning people in the comments section.
Many individuals offered sound advice on meeting someone, while a few others took some jabs at OP.
We can only hope this Twitter user finds love someday soon; after all, there are plenty of fish in the sea, and the possibilities are truly endless.
Do you have any pointers to give this Twitter user for his next date? Let us hear your thoughts in the comments section below!
