Woman Forced To Block Tinder Match After He Asked Her For Nearly $400 To Pay His Power Bill

Taking a chance on finding love on Tinder is very much hit-and-miss.  There are some success stories out there, despite the call for dating apps to be crushed, but there are also plenty of horror stories.

Nobody wants to have their creepy married uncle show up under their likes.  Kendra Roxberry, a mother of two from Pittsburgh, thought she was on her way to being one of the lucky ones who found success.

She got along well with the match and the relationship was headed in a positive direction.  That was until he sent her a huge red flag of a message.  This guy, she calls Josh, thought it would be a good idea to ask her for nearly $400.

He had found himself in a bit of a pickle after taking her out for a nice (expensive) dinner.  His lights had been turned off and in his mind it was a good idea to ask her for $376.54.  He had, after all, just spent some money on her for that dinner.

The two had been seeing each other for several months before Josh suggested taking Roxberry out to a nice dinner.  She decided on a seafood restaurant on the pricier side of things after being told, "the budget doesn’t matter."

It sounds like that wasn't entirely accurate, and your boy overextended himself a bit.  Unfortunately, the situation went from bad to worse for Josh.  His lights were out and now his love life was back to square one.

Roxberry responded to the message asking her to repay him for the seafood boil with money for his power bill by saying, "lol … really?  I’m not sure this is going to work out. Good luck!"

She then blocked his broke ass on her phone.  Her lights were on, but she, too, was back at square one when it came to her love life.

Finding Love On Tinder Doesn't Always Go According To The Plan

"He was very handsome, smart, kind and he seemed very well-put-together.  He had a similar sense of humor and we got along great.  The chemistry was there," she admitted. 

"I feel like we were even.  I wasn’t using him for his money and expecting him to pay for everything.  I enjoyed his company and would pay for things too."

Then it all came crashing down with one text message.  Had he come at her differently she might have been willing to help out.  She saw it as an obvious sign of trouble ahead and put an end to it before they got too far into the relationship.

It's a smart move on her part.  But it also begs the question, is there a certain number of seafood boil dates that need to be had before you can ask for money to turn your lights back on?
