TIFU by trusting a "hot local single in my area" on a dating app.

Better than the girl I met for a date from Match.com. Match was really the only site back then, other than hotornot or yahoo or CL. So, we chatted for weeks...exchanged pics...and it seemed great. The pics were real and candid; nothing too "set-up" seeming and she was really cute. We'll call her Example 4; Just because I've had about 12 strange online dating experiences and she was the fourth. We plan a date and she asks if she can bring her sister since she's coming form about 100 miles away. I say sure, why the hell not. So, I invite my friend too.

Friday's here, and I get a call a few hours from date time. It's her, and she's nervous. She admits she's nervous about meeting and that she hopes we get along and have a good time even if there isn't a spark. You know, since she's driving a 100 miles here I think, sure, Example 4, don't worry it'll be fine.

So, my spidy senses pop up about 30 minutes after the call. My friend and I huddle around some trees and then grab a quick drink before meeting. Now, he's more nervous than I am because of the sister thing...and probably because he was married and didn't want to do anything to piss his wife off. (Even though she was cool about it considering.)

So, we're waiting in a booth in the bar and there she is... she's cute. I tap my bud and nonchalantly point, and say, "There's Example 4, she's cute right?" He nods, she waves, and then she turns around and heads back out.

I relax a little bit here and then Example 4 comes back in helping her sister in. Her sister forearm walking crutches and needed quite a bit of help...

...then it started clicking. Then it started registering. Little by little the reality was setting in and I could tell by the smile. Example 4 was really the handicapped girl.

Now, what do I do. I'm a decent guy, so I stuck around and made the best of it. We actually had a lot in common. So, we got completely trashed, had a kick ass meal and went our separate ways.

Afterwards we chatted here and there for a few years. I told her that night that she should of said something before hand. That I felt betrayed, but she was very fun and sweet but we wouldn't work out. I empathized with Example 4.

That all being said, what a fucking shock and I still get joked at about getting wrangled by Example 4, 7 and 10.

Typed this fast...there are probably immense typographical errors.
