There is a lot to keep in mind when meeting someone for the first time through a dating app, such as what to wear, how to ensure your safety\u2026 and whether or not your date is even real. Being catfished is when someone pretends to be someone else online, using fake photos and a fake persona to lure their victim into believing they\u2019ve just found a top-notch catch. But what about being catfished by a restaurant? As bizarre as it may sound, that is exactly what happened to one woman who took to TikTok to share how a restaurant allegedly tricked her into a lonesome dinner for one. Taylor, who goes by \u2018paretay\u2019 on TikTok, described the ordeal as \u201cthe most humiliating experience ever\u201d. \u201cI met this guy on a dating app and he immediately asked me out on a date to a specific restaurant,\u201d Taylor said. However, despite confirming on the day that the date was still on, Taylor found herself waiting at the restaurant alone. She continued, \u201cHe\u2019s nowhere to be found. So I reached out \u2014 no response. I checked the app and noticed that he unmatched me.\u201d Feeling \u201ckind of pissed\u201d that she had already gotten dressed up for the occasion, Taylor decided she might as well stay for a meal. It wasn\u2019t until she made it home and was scrolling Facebook that Tayor saw another girl post a \u201cvery similar story\u201d that took place in the exact same venue. \u201cShe found out that there are restaurants now posing as people on dating apps just so you go to their business and once you get stood up, they know that probably nine times out of 10 that you\u2019re going to buy something from them,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cThe fact that we have stooped this low\u2026 jail for all the people at the restaurant thinking they\u2019re marketing geniuses.\u201d Taylor slammed the restaurant for \u201cruining a girl\u2019s mental self-esteem\u201d, with viewers quick to take her side. One commented, \u201cWow, that\u2019s a new low.
