I went on a dinner date with a man I met online – I was horrified by the ‘restaurant’ he had chosen | The Sun

A WOMAN has warned other singletons about clarifying date details before heading out after she was left horrified at a man’s choice of “restaurant”. 

Vanessa Payne was asked out to dinner by a man she had been chatting with on dating app Hinge.


Before the blunder, the 31-year-old says things were “going really well”. 

“He asked me if he could take me out for dinner and I was like, ‘Yeah sure, why not?’” she explained in a TikTok video. 

“So he just sent me the address, I didn’t even question it.”

On the day of the date, Vanessa entered the address into her maps app which showed up as a “plaza that had a bunch of restaurants”.

“I met a guy in my apartment building and he asked me if I wanted to grab coffee at the lobby sometime,” one penned. 

“I thought it was a cute coffee shop. 

“Nope, he meant the apartment lobby.”

Another shared: “I met up with a guy on my lunch break once because he asked and when I got to the McDonald’s he had already ordered HIS food." 

Another woman told Vanessa she should be “grateful” that her date actually showed up, after she was “stood up” yesterday.
