The dating world can be a tough space to navigate. Our goals are simple: we want someone we’re compatible with, or at least someone who’s really hot, and we want to spend anywhere from a night to a lifetime with them.
Simple, right? Well, things can go from zero to a hundred real quick sometimes, and in the most bizarre , unpredictable ways.

Some potential dates are basically psychotic.
TikToker Mason , who works as a radio host in the Dallas area, shared her story of dating woe.
She went to meet a guy at a restaurant, but he stood her up. This is a normal thing to happen when it comes to dating, but what followed was anything but normal.
That’s the end of the story, right?
I mean, if someone stands you up, it means they’re not interested, and they fade away from your life. That’s how it should go.
But in this case, the dude dialed up the crazy and left a series of unhinged messages on Mason’s voicemail.
He tells her not to talk about it on TikTok.
This is a highly specific, kind of weird thing to request. He even threatened legal action if Mason shared his rants. Of course, Mason decided to share his rants.
The guy’s mom even got involved.
As if things couldn’t get any weirder, yeah, his mom left some voicemails as well. At this point, Mason started publicly wondering whether she should get a restraining order. She added that she’d invested in a can of pepper spray.
It just kept going and going.
We’re not sharing all of Mason’s videos here, but you should definitely check out her profile to get a grasp of the full saga.
It seems like things have died down for now, but it left Mason feeling shaken.
Red flags galore.
In the comments section of her videos, followers shared their own stories of dating woe. These range from minor stuff like getting stood up to major stuff like, well, everything that happened to Mason through this process.
Keep your guard up.
Dating entails some leaps of faith — namely, going out with strangers and giving them your contact info.
