Here are the stories we were able to get on Friday when a few of us walked around campus and asked students of their experiences of tinder and online dating in general. Some of the 'horror' stories shared with us.
1. "Met a couple online. Joined them for a drink and went back to theirs. Ended up having sex with the wife whilst the husband watched and pleasured himself."
2. "Went on my first tinder date in Manchester. The guy was chubby but looked thin in his pictures. He later called me a stuck up bitch and walked off mid drink. Worst thing is he was a police officer!"
3. "A friend of mine went on a date with a guy from tinder but took a friend with her for support as she'd never been a date. However her friend and her date ended up talking for the whole date, made out during her graduation party whilst knowing her friend was into him. She said she would no longer see the guy off of tinder but went behind her friends back continued to see him."
4. "I was invited to this guys house for dinner, however when I turned up there was a bunch of people having sex and doing cocaine."
We weren't able to get a lot of stories as we were short for time, but hopefully when we film on Thursday we can get some more from people who don't want to be on camera.
Unfortunately the general consensus on Friday was that people either didn't have any experience using any online dating sites or they were generally good experiences. Maybe we aren't asking the right questions/approaching the right people? Hopefully filming on Thursday will be a lot more successful as we'll have more time to approach people!

Well done for uploading and also transcribing the comments. Seeing the handwritten accounts seems to add authenticity though I guess they could always have been made up. Even so, they're pretty scary!
