"I'm an okay guy (m24, decent career, educated) who rarely gets any matches on these dating apps. Maybe I don't look that good. Maybe I don't appear attractive socially. Anyways, this one time that did get a match, I got a little too excited. She asked me to meet near Huda Metro, agreed. I bought flowers & a card from Gifts of love. This was my first date in 3 years. I was looking forward for some nice conversations. I saw her. She looked a little messy. I was cool with messy. But then she talked. Her accent was very local. And her english was extremely poor (not that i judge, it's just that on texts - it was very savvy and colloquial like pure gen z talk) Anyways. I was a little uncomfortable. But wanted to be respectful. I asked her if she would like to get away from the metro station and head to a cafe or something. She said that we can go to a hotel or my place. Said that she charges 6000 bucks for one shot (i have no idea what that means). I thought that this is a good time to leave. I kindly told her that I must've mistaken the intent of this meet. She held my hand and accused me of wasting her time. And gave me threats. Something on the lines of screaming in public and creating a scene. I tried to pacify her. She started asking for money. I gave her all the cash had. She gave a lot s*it for wasting her time. Still. I came back. Feeling like a loser (SIC)," the man shared.

Netizens explain how the man could have been saved

A user wrote, "1. Shot means, in a prostitution lingo, one time. 2. You don't hand over the money because they are equally afraid if you start shouting and call the police. 3. Tinder, Bumble, reddit, Instagram, etc. are places where this keeps on happening. It's very easy to figure out after one time."
