That's right, because a new negative trend is emerging on social media where some restaurants are pretending to be attractive dating app users and arranging romantic dinners to which no one shows up unless the person being cheated on shows up. If it were an episode of a TV series, it would be titled "I thought I had a hot date, but I got catfished by a restaurant instead".
Welcome to the era of restaurants attracting partners/customers on dating apps The new frontier of forgettable dates may not top the strange tale of the stolen tabi, but it does discourage those in search of a soul mate, or at least some quality time with a potential mate. Have you ever met someone, gone out to dinner with him/her and couldn't wait for the ordeal to be over because the person in front of you has lots of orange duck bits between their teeth when they spit or won't stop talking in an annoying tone of voice about how perfect their ex was and how their mum is the only one who cooks lasagne? These are just a few clichés of romantic dates that prove potentially disastrous in the first few minutes together.
