Woman’s revenge after finding her Tinder date was already engaged

A woman who discovered her Tinder date was engaged one month before they “matched” outed the man in a way not even he would have expected.

A woman was horrified to discover – after arranging a date with a man on Tinder – that he had proposed to his girlfriend just one month before.

Kimberly Anne swiped right on a man, and the pair spent the evening chatting about “finding someone special” before planning to meet up for a date, The Sun reports.

The 31-year-old decided to do some research on her would-be suitor, finding him on Facebook.

To her horror his profile showed he was in a relationship, and shockingly he’d got engaged the month before.

The legal professional confronted him about his infidelity, but he claimed she’d got the “wrong guy”.

But Kimberly says his distinctive tattoos gave him away, so she decided to oust the cheater to his fiance.

“I matched with this guy on Tinder and we were chatting for the entire evening, arranged to meet for a date and exchanged numbers,” she said.

“I asked him what he was looking for and he asked me the same question and I told him that I was hoping to find my special someone and he responded with ‘I love that’.

“He sent me a message on Whatsapp and I asked him why he was messaging me on there instead of just sending a regular text and he just changed the subject.”

With her suspicions raised, Kimberly did some snooping on social media, and found her date online.

“When I started scrolling on Facebook it brought up suggested friends and I recognised him immediately from his profile picture,” she explained.

“I thought I’d take a look and the first thing I noticed was that it said he was in a relationship.

“Hoping it was old I clicked on her profile and the first post was an engagement announcement from exactly one month ago.

“My first emotion was just complete shock, I could not believe it — I was just flabbergasted.”

Kimberley says while she wasn’t emotionally invested, she was angry on his fiance’s behalf that he would do this to her.

He initially tried to deny it was him, but the matching tattoos proved it was the same person.

“I looked again at his Facebook pictures and compared a tattoo on his arm to the pictures on his Tinder profile and it was the exact same tattoo, so I told him this.

“I just felt if the tables were turned I would want her (his fiance) to tell me.

“I feel women have to support women in these situations — we have to have each other’s backs.”

Kimberley proceeded to message his fiance on Facebook, sending screenshots of their Tinder chat.

“My whole body was shaking when I was sending these messages because I didn’t know how she was going to react,” Kimberley said.

“I felt so awful and partially responsible that I could potentially be breaking this woman’s heart.

“I said do what you will with this information, I would want to know if it was me.

“She just said ‘it’s OK it’s not your fault, thanks’.

“I blocked him and unmatched with him on Tinder because I was afraid that there would be some sort of backlash — I didn’t want to be harassed by him.”

Despite outing the cheating fiance to the woman, she said the couple still seem to be engaged as neither of their relationship statuses have changed.

“Her response was so calm and minimal that I don’t know if she was in shock or maybe this was something that had happened before and she wasn’t really surprised by it,” Kimberley said.

“I’m afraid that she has decided to forgive him, but that’s her choice if that’s what she wanted to do.

“Personally I would have ended the engagement immediately, but maybe she was more understanding than I would have been.

“Later in the day I looked at his profile and saw he had changed his profile picture to one of him and his fiance together hugging.

“Maybe that was his way of saying that it won’t happen again through telling everyone he’s totally in love with her.”

Kimberly decided to share her experience online, and was “saddened” by the number of women who claimed a similar thing had happened to them.

“I want to believe that this is not something that is common.

“I’ve been single for eight months and ultimately want to find my special person – I would like my next relationship to be my last.

“I have to be very careful going forward about what questions I ask and really assess the way they’re answering those and continue to see if I can find anything about them online before I get too invested.”
