What are your experiences with Tinder?

Throwaway time, you literally cannot make this shit up:

So I match with a girl on a tinder-like app, and get just her snapchat. We begin snapchatting and not really talking for a few months. One day I just asked where she went to school. Turns out she lived a good ten minutes from me and went to school a similar distance away. Also ends up she knew some people I knew, and she seemed pretty interested in me. Me, being a dumb highschooler, decides it will be a good idea to hang out with this girl. We hang out, it's rather boring and I hear every sob story you can think of. Just an example, "I had someone in my family dies every weekend in November" with detailed descriptions of each "death." So at one point we sit down, and she starts to kiss me but stops and says "can we talk about something" (this was after little to no time). She gives this elaborate story of how she can't have children (she is a freshman in high school at this point) and how she is going on medication that will have bipolar side effects. I'm wondering how this is possible for such a young girl, but don't want to call bullshit/ want to give her the benefit of the doubt so I accept it and tell her how sorry I am. So I leave, not sure at all what to think and go have dinner with my friend. All my friends think she is lying when I tell them the story.

Now, it gets interesting.

So two weeks later she posts a picture of her and a new boyfriend on instagram, and I'm, rightfully, confused and a little angry. She sends me this long text about how she met him at a focus group-like event for people going through the same thing as her. I give her the benefit of the doubt and think: "If she's telling the truth, I feel bad for her. If she's lying I feel even worse for her because she's insane." So we don't talk after that and this year, my friend decides to invite a girl he is friends with over to my house to watch a football game. I forget how it comes up in conversation, but she is neighbors with this chick who "can't have kids." And reddit, I cannot make this up. This girl says:

"Oh yeah (childless girl)? She's a compulsive liar. Why?"

My friends all go crazy and I feel incredibly stupid (as I should).

So I learned my lesson, never even come in contact with crazy because it'll tell you it can't have kids just to find a new guy.

This was over a year ago, and I have removed every snapchat contact, phone number, instagram follower, and every other connection that came from that app from my life, and have resumed my life as a normal teenager. Happily single, and only talking to girls who are not completely deranged, and am perfectly ok with it.

TL;DR: I met crazy once, and learned my fucking lesson.
