- A young woman has spoken about her run-in with a strange man on Hinge
- She connected with ‘Jake’ on the dating app and he asked her out to dinner
- I have suggested a ‘rooftop bar’ that ‘not many people have heard of’ for it
- Quinn discovered that what he actually meant was the roof of his apartment
- She found the conversation to be bizarre and decided not to go
A young woman has shared the bizarre conversation she had with a would-be match on a dating app and how he tried to coax her to his apartment on the very first date.
Quinn Martin, who lives in New York City, took to TikTok on July 21 to share screenshots of a text message exchange she had with a man named ‘Jake’ after meeting on Hinge.
‘There’s a rooftop lounge that just opened that’s BYOB not many people know about that we could try,’ he asked her, which she initially thought was a good idea.
‘A couple of hours before the date I asked for the address because I wanted to see what the place was all about and he sent me the address of an apartment complex,’ she said.
‘Maybe I was missing something, I thought, so I asked him if it was a restaurant and three minutes later he says “haha no” with no other explanation.’
Quinn was starting to believe ‘Jake’ was trying to trick her into coming to his apartment building for a drink on their first date.
‘Turns out that’s exactly what he was doing,’ she said.
Jake wrote to her: ‘Haha I thought I did a good job selling it. The views are pretty sweet but we can hit a bar if you’d rather.’
Quinn explained to her potential match that she didn’t feel comfortable with the proposition and asked if he was even going to tell her it was his place before she got there.

‘Jake’, to his credit, apologized for the forward behavior and that it had ‘come off the wrong way’.
Quinn captioned the footage of her explanation with ‘quite literally escaped my own episode of SVU’.
Her fans on the social media platform were quick to point out that her comments were a huge red flag.
‘I wonder if this has ever worked for him before,’ one woman replied.
‘Lmao that’s bad enough, but he also wanted you to bring your own alcohol to his apartment on the first date,’ said another.
A third added: ‘Do men think we’re just gonna say “yeah see you there” without investigating for our literal safety?’
