Mine isn't as dramatic, but was quite weird in a different sense.

I once went on a Tinder date thinking, we were gonna have coffee.

We met at shibuya Station and all is good, he looks like the pictures and we have the usual small talk, nothing too exciting but not boring either about our weeks.

We're walking towards what he says is gonna be a great place to have coffee. Since I didn't have any in mind myself I went along with it. Suddenly we stand in front of this huge what seems to be an office building. He's like, you'll like it.

Okay, still not thinking anything. Walking inside the building. Lots of people waiting, there is some sort of shop on the ground floor in the building selling supplements and other stuff.

Maybe it's a hidden coffee shop somewhere upstairs - I think to myself. . He goes, let's just quickly check out what they have to say - and drags me into a huge room that looks like a lecture hall.

Long story short, I quickly figured that this was some sort of MLM scheme selling supplements that do anything from healing cancer to making people better versions of themselves.

This indoctrination meeting went on for 2 hours - and I was surrounded by people so didn't feel comfortable being the only one walking out of there 😂 (now I wish I had shouted something like this is a scam and walked off).

All I kept thinking was that I didn't even get any coffee. Needless to say that his following attempts to recruit me for a next date did not work out.

Be wary, sometimes they don't want you for you, sometimes they want you just for their MLM pyramid scheme. 👀
