My Tinder Date Turned Out To Be A Criminal

I'm here to tell you about the bad side of Tinder.

In case you don't know, Tinder is the popular dating app where you can possibly find friends, hookups, and maybe find your true love!

Last summer I was on tinder. I met a super sweet guy. At some point in our conversation, he asked if I worked and I said I didn't have a job, but I was looking for one. He said he would happy to be on the lookout for me. He also lived in my area so he could search in the area as well. We kept talking and I kind of dismissed the idea because he was more important to me than a job at that time.

We met up at some point. I enjoyed spending time with him. We went on a couple of dates. He was kind. He paid for all the meals. But something was just off about him. He kept talking about me getting a job. I asked him about what he did and he tried to explain his job to me but I never really understood. I don't even remember what he said now. I just kept thinking wow he's so sweet, he's trying to get me a job. He knows I need a job and he's looking everywhere just like I am. I really appreciated his effort in my job search.

One day I get a random text from this lady. It said," Come to (City name) for your interview." I read about the company and they sold knives or something. I was not interested (thank goodness). He texted soon after telling me he got me a job. I was so confused. Why did this random lady just text me? He told me he gave her my number. I was upset because he didn't ask me first. The text message didn't really seem legit to me. I told him I wasn't going because I wasn't interested in selling knives.


He was upset with me and he continuously begged me to go to this interview. And I kept telling him no. He was so persistent with me going. I eventually broke up with him because he was simply acting crazy.

Yes, I needed a job but I wasn't interested in selling knives! I knew there had to be another job somewhere for me.

Two weeks later I saw an article on Facebook about this company that sells knives. I recognize the name right away. It was an article about this group of people posing that they were from this company. They were trafficking women.
In the article, I read that they were holding fake interviews. They would offer the women water with drugs that they put in there to make them sleepy. Then they would kidnap the women.

My heart sunk when I read that they were in the town that my boyfriend wanted me to go interview at. What if I had gone? I blocked him immediately. I was so scared he would come after me somehow. Luckily for me, he never asked for my address and we never came to my house.

Sometimes life can really scare the heck out of you. All I can say is everyone please be safe. Please don't be stupid. Trust your gut in every situation. I've been talking to people online since I was 14. My parents and my family hate me for it, but I really thought I knew what I was doing. I know how to find out if someone is real. I've watched many episodes of Catfish, from MTV.

Somehow this time I let my guard down. I believe in God and I know that he was the one that told me not to go to that interview!

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
