Eager single woman matches with ‘cute' guy on dating app— but was shocked to discover who he was
A single gal matched with a potential suitor on a dating app, only to soon realize the sleazy guy was not only in a relationship — but he was dating her friend.
The shocked dater posted her story to the r/TwoHotTakes forum on Reddit — which has since been deleted — sharing this jaw-dropping story that began with her matching with a guy who caught her eye.
After swiping right on each other, he immediately messaged her and the two started chatting.
She explained why she was initially drawn to him: he was 'cute' and had a 'funny bio' — yet something about him 'seemed familiar,' although she couldn't put her finger on it.
After mentioning the very minor detail of what his favorite coffee shop is — which coincidentally is the same cafe she and her friend frequent — the suspicious woman started to put two and two together.
It suddenly dawned on her that she not only knew who this guy was — she had previously been on 'double dates with this man.'
Of course, she called him out, and his reply was eye-roll-inducing: 'He says, 'Oh, haha, yeah… but this is just for fun, don't tell her,'' the OP wrote in her post. 'Like he was asking me to keep his little 'oops' secret.'
Thankfully, she was more rational than this liar of a guy and quickly unmatched him.
Now the question at hand is whether she should tell her friend about this betraying interaction, or keep it to herself.
Obviously, the many Reddit users in the post's thread didn't hold back with their thoughts and opinions on the situation — and rightfully so, this story is wild.
'You're not the one blowing up a relationship by being honest.'
'He did that by stepping outside of their relationship. By his own admission, it doesn't seem like they're poly or otherwise open, so this is totally on him.'
'Tell her and take a screenshot as proof that you can. You won't be the only person he's talking to.'
While this two-timing guy should be banned from dating apps — other men are being told to lower their expectations when it comes to online dating.
According to new research, fellas are aiming too high when swiping for their perfect match.
'Men tended to express interest in women who were more desirable than themselves, while women typically pursued men of more similar desirability,' a team of international researchers discovered, according to the PLOS One journal.

25 People Share Wild Things They've Seen At A Party
All it takes is a few people in one place, and suddenly anything can happen — sometimes it's magical, sometimes it's just pure chaos. Parties exist in their own little alternate reality, where literally nothing is off the table. One minute it's dance-offs, kissing, and karaoke, the next it's breakups, damaged property, and sick on the carpet. And of course, there's always that one quiet person who develops an entirely new personality the second Fireball makes an appearance. Truly wild times! I've got to admit — as a full-on nerd (and a musical theatre kid in a past life), the parties I go to these days are pretty tame. We sing show tunes, throw dress-up parties, plan themed dinners, and host board game nights that get wayyy too competitive. But I won't lie: I used to be a full-on feral alley rat, roaming the streets on any given night. So when Reddit user Wonderful-Fall-2230 asked people about the wildest thing they've seen at a party, I thought to myself, I thought I had stories. So put your party-girl pants on — it's about to get wild... "While camping, I jumped through a raging campfire while wearing a bedsheet like a cape. The cape caught on fire, but I sprinted to the nearby lake. It was glorious. I was completely unharmed. The group did ban 'the move' on all future camping trips, though." "Some guy put all the metal silverware into the microwave and then went around, daring people to turn it on." "I went to a 4th of July pool party that was on the side of a mountain. And someone arrived in a paraglider. It was epic!!" "It was my party, many moons ago. I lived in an older duplex in the University area of our city. To spare some details, the night got WAYYY out of control — at one point, there was even a large pet pig wandering around. Needless to say, the police came and got everyone to leave. The next morning, I woke to find an old tombstone planted in my front yard. The party made the front page news of the paper." "I was invited to a friend's aunt's 40th birthday party, and even though I didn't know the birthday girl, there was free food and booze, so I thought, Why not? After the party began to wind down, the woman's husband began asking around if we'd seen his wife. After a few minutes, he began knocking on the bathroom door, but there was no response. After knocking louder and louder, he figured his wife was passed out, so he got a paper clip and unlocked the door. Lo and behold, his wife was making out with some random guy; she was only wearing a bra, and her lipstick was smeared all over her face. The dozen people watching nearby quickly shuffled the eff out of there as all hell broke loose." "In my college days, I was at a party in an apartment on the third floor. It was winter, and it was so crowded that we were shoulder to shoulder. My friend needed to go to the washroom, but he was stuck in the crowd, so he downed his solo cup and relieved himself in the cup. He set it on a stand by the balcony doors. A few minutes later, a girl squeezed through the crowd, picked up the glass, and downed it. Then she said, 'Yuck, that beer is so warm.' We were all in shock." "I fell asleep at a 'normal' college woke up to a room full of naked people, painting each other in body paint." "A guy tried to make flaming a carpeted basement" "The cops came to break up a party I was at, and I got tossed out. When I realized that I had left my cooler of beer at the house, I climbed over the fences of three backyards to get to the back of the house. The cops were still in the front yard, so I snuck in through the open back door, climbed over the kitchen pony wall, and snagged my cooler of beer from the kitchen. Then, I left the same way I came, without a trace. And I must say, beer has never tasted so frickin' good." "The wildest thing I saw was my friend casually eating a big bowl of snacks while we were hanging out in the kitchen. Then the host came in and asked him why he was eating her cat's food. The cat was staring at him all night, too." "This gorgeous and nice girl from school got way too lit and took a dump in the was furthermore known as 'the oven sh**er around campus." "I was just chatting when some random woman walked up and bit a guy on the cheek really hard. A dozen people tossed her out the front door, but she kept trying to break back in through every door and window she could reach. It was like a zombie movie — people were barricading the place with furniture and whatever else they could find." "My drunk uncle — AKA Druncle — insisted all night he could leap over the bonfire. After hours of people holding him back, he finally went for it. Spoiler alert: he did not make the jump. Severe burns, skin grafts, and hospitalization somehow lived." "I accidentally threw my uncle off a mechanical bull. I thought the high-speed setting was actually the low, and it immediately threw him off. He reallyyy flew. But to be fair, I shouldn't have been in charge of a mechanical bull remote with that much Hennesey in me." "I was at a party where a car went through the wall." "A friend of mine has some money, so when his wife turned 50, they threw a massive party — complete with a parachutist landing in the yard. I'm a volunteer firefighter, and on the way there, my pager went off for a possible plane crash. Turns out the neighbours saw the parachutist and thought a plane had gone down." No, this isn't a joke prompt: "A horse walked into the bar." "Guy did a backflip off the roof into a kiddie pool, and somehow didn't die. It was a wild night." "At a house party in my teens, someone decided that the bathtub should be filled with dirt and plants. It was really kind of amazing until he decided that the plants needed water, and the shower was turned on." "Somebody fell through one of the skylights on the roof of a warehouse. We'd gone up there using a lift-type thing to go watch fireworks. I was scared right from the get-go, but we went anyway. And a guy fell straight through to the concrete floor below. He lived, but it was so stupid." "Some guy at a party used his belt as a whip and struck down a chandelier." "I saw a girl rip another girl's weave off in a fight. Then she climbed a pole and placed it on top of it like a victory scalp." "I was in Sweden for a wedding in early July. We took a bullet train north for a few hours, then took a bus for a few more hours to reach the Arctic Circle. We sat in a 17th-century barn and drank from 8 pm to 8 am. The sun never went down." "A guy projectile vomited onto his glass coffee table, and it spilled off the edges like a fountain." And to end with an aww: "I met the woman I love most in this life at a party." What about you? Have you ever witnessed something totally unhinged at a party — the kind of story you end up telling at every other party? Drop it in the comments or share it in the anonymous form below. As for me, I've seen my share of chaos. But my "favourite" thing I've seen at a party? Well, I'm biased — I did meet my now-husband at one. So yeah, I guess I'm a big supporter of parties.

Bride's Mom Tells Her It Would Be 'Inconsiderate' Not to Schedule Wedding Around Sister's Plans to Get Pregnant
The bride shared her dilemma on Reddit, seeking advice NEED TO KNOW A bride's mom told her it would be "inconsiderate" of her not to schedule her upcoming wedding around her sister's plans to get pregnant The bride shared her dilemma on Reddit, seeking advice Many readers told the bride to stick to her plans, assuring her she has "zero obligation" to her sister in this situation A bride-to-be is trying to pin down her wedding date — and her mother is insisting she schedule the event around her sister's plans to get pregnant. The bride shared her dilemma in a post on Reddit's "Am I the A------" forum, beginning by explaining that she and her fiancé got engaged last summer and have already chosen their venue for the small wedding they envision. They are "strongly leaning towards" a May 2026 date, but also considering September as "a backup." However, the bride recently found out that her older sister is "trying for a baby" with her boyfriend. "She noted in her ideal world she would get pregnant fairly quickly and the baby would come around June," the Redditor wrote. The bride's mother immediately began expressing concerns about her intention to move forward with her wedding timeline — particularly the May date — given the news about her sister. "She was taken aback and pointed out that my sister might be very pregnant and unable to come to our wedding," the bride wrote. "I had considered this, but I also considered that it's not guaranteed that she will get pregnant right away or at all, making it just as possible for her to be heavily pregnant in September." "Additionally, even if her ideal timeline did work, I live 600 miles away from her, so I doubt she would come to a September wedding with a newborn anyways," she continued. But the bride's mom "seemed certain" that the sister would get pregnant "right away" and accused the bride of being "inconsiderate" for wanting to have her wedding in May. Concluding her post, the Redditor asked if she's "the a------" for "not scheduling my wedding around my sister's family planning." In the comments section, the majority of readers told the bride to stick to her wedding plans and not be swayed. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. "You cannot possibly plan a wedding around what MIGHT be going on in someone else's life," one person wrote. "I can see why your mother would love your sister to be able to attend your wedding, but her advice is just not realistic or practical." Another commenter told the bride to "do what works for you and your fiancé." "You have zero obligation to plan around your sister's 'plan' to have a baby," they argued. "I hope she's super lucky and can conceive exactly as planned, but a lot of women know it doesn't always work like that. You shouldn't have to sit in limbo waiting to see if your sister's exact plan is happening." Someone else wisely pointed out that "if people tried to plan around every wedding guest, no one would ever get married." Another commenter chimed in: "It's one thing to plan around a known event, but it's ridiculous to try to plan around an imaginary pregnancy."

Man Takes Home Shelter Cat, a Week Later Realizes He 'Actually Adopted Dog'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A cat has left people amazed after being caught on camera doing something that is usually more common in dogs—playing fetch like a pro. In a video shared on Reddit by user u/tasyn123, Leo, an 11-month-old Devon Rex cat from Vancouver, Canada, was caught running back and forth as he retrieved a small stick-shaped toy for his owner. Amused by the unusual sight, the owner captioned the post: "I think I accidentally adopted a dog." The clip quickly went viral on the r/cats subreddit, where thousands of people praised Leo's unexpected talent. Leo the Fetch-Loving Cat Leo was adopted in February this year by his 32-year-old owner, who said the quirky habit started almost immediately. "Leo started playing fetch with us the week we brought him home," he told Newsweek. Pictures of Leo waiting to play fetch at his home in Canada. Pictures of Leo waiting to play fetch at his home in Canada. tasyn123/Reddit "Initially, we just threw his toys to distract him and get him to stop bothering us while working from home, but he learned that we would throw it again if he brought the toy back," the owner said. Since then, fetch has become part of Leo's daily routine, and his owner said that it is one of the reasons the pet feels "more like a dog than a cat" at times. Do Cats Really Play Fetch? While fetch is almost universally linked to dogs, some cats are also natural retrievers. Certain feline breeds, including Siamese, Burmese, Bengal, and Devon Rex cats like Leo, are particularly known for their playful, intelligent, and highly trainable personalities. Experts say the behavior may be more common than many realize. A September 2024 study published in the journal PLOS One, led by Mikel Delgado, senior research scientist at Purdue University's College of Veterinary Medicine, found that 41 percent of cats actually play fetch—challenging the long-standing stereotype of cats as aloof or disinterested in people. From left: Leo jumps off the couch; and waits to play fetch.

"It was an interesting surprise," said lead-author Delgado. "It's very cute." He added that, while dogs were bred to help humans, cats have historically only been expected to be companions. But despite the feline's reputation as being uninterested in people, Delgado said: "Bringing a toy to us is a social request … in truth, cats really do enjoy these interactions with their owners."
