A man tried to sue his Tinder date after she turned him down moments before hooking up - according to the subject of his would-be lawsuit.
Emily Mackinnon, who has a popular TikTok account where she posts under the username @authentically_emi, shared the story of her nightmare date, which saw her supposedly facing legal troubles after she refused to sleep with the guy.
She tells her followers in a video: "So we matched on Tinder. He was a law student at the time. We went back to his place. It was implied that we were gonna hook up, but I never explicitly stated that."
Emily's date with the purported plaintiff, who she calls Chad, went well initially and the pair ended up going back to his, where they began kissing and then undressing.
But while taking one's clothes off during a moment of mutual passion would be a huge turn-on for most people, it was at that moment the TikToker knew she had to make a beeline for the door.
"When I tell you it was a sight. It was a f***ing sight," Emily recalled. "There was trails. There was a vague bad smell. I had to get the f*** out. Evacuate. Abort Mission."
She continues in her video: "I was upwind and I still smelled something… There was, like, skid marks in his undies, and he had not washed in a long time."
After leaving well before anything could happen between them, she soon received a letter accusing her of "breaking a contract".
She continued: "I left and a few days later, he had paid someone to serve me with papers to, like, sue me for breaking a verbal contract.
"But it’s okay. I fixed it because he had spent a bunch of the time telling me about how his dad’s lawyer, so I made an appointment with his dad and just like told on him to his dad."
Emily divulged the details of their short-lived rendezvous on her podcast - after which, Chad had a cease and desist letter sent to her, accusing her of slander.
It turns out that Chad is actually a lawyer himself now and he works at his dad's law firm.
In any case, she had the cease and desist letter reviewed by another lawyer, as she explained: "The lawyer I talked to pretty much laughed at this. It’s very not legit so I’m not concerned in the least that it’s going to go anywhere.
"I called his law firm and this was apparently something he did 'on his own time' and should not have had the law firm logo on it."

Warning: This article contains themes and topics that some people will find upsetting.
A woman has gone viral after sharing footage she secretly recorded of her "toxic" Tinder date shaming her for not sleeping with him.
Madison, a 25-year-old from Indiana, told Buzzfeed that she decided to meet up with a man she had been speaking to for around three weeks on Tinder.
"He was supposed to take me to dinner, but changed the plan and decided to just go back to his house and watch a movie," she explained.
When the pair went back to the man's house, he insisted that Madison drink alcohol with him, and when she refused and decided to call an Uber to leave, her date got angry, and she recorded what happened next.
Needless to say, the video did not go unnoticed on the social media website, and at the time of writing, it has received over 250K likes. However, it does come with a trigger warning for sexual assault.
Watch the shocking incident unfold below:In the video, Madison's Tinder date can be heard shaming her for using the app to date and explains that it only exists so that people can "f**k", and therefore, she was misleading him by using the application in the first place...
Because using an app equates to consent. Not.
Madison then informed her Tinder date that if he simply wants to find hookups, he should be honest about his intentions from the get-go.
In response, he says: "If you say that, you're not gonna get any Tinder matchups!"
AKA it is better to lie about what you are after in order to convince a person to sleep with you for the wrong reasons.
Madison then rightfully informs him that his tactic is an example of "toxic masculinity", but instead of accepting that she is in the right, he hits back by saying that it's "reality".
He tells her to "wake up" and that "he's trying to help" so that she doesn't find herself in the same situation again.
Thankfully, Madison was able to escape the date safely and return home.
She later told Buzzfeed: "The worst part [about what he said] was that he didn't feel like I had the right to say, 'No'. That I was obligated to have sex with him because I went back to his apartment.
"I'm in recovery, so I've gone through a lot of bad stuff that kind of taught me, along with therapy, to stay calm in situations like that. I knew I had a choice, but my worry was that other women in this situation might not feel like they have a choice."

A woman has taken to social media to share a message her first date sent her after it was actually intended for his friends.
Revealing the faux pas on TikTok, Molly - who uses the handle '@Mollyhair' on the platform - revealed that she was supposed to be meeting the guy for their first date, when she suddenly received the blunt message.
Molly captioned the post: "Chivalry is alive", adding "I was on my way to a first date and this happened."
At first, Molly had received a regular message from the guy asking if she was at the venue. However, in his second message, his choice of words was far from romantic.
Check out Molly's first video below:In a text meant for his friend, the guy wrote: "Waiting on this c***. I took a pinch for confidence." However, the guy immediately clocked his error, and hesitantly responded: "Omg I was joking with a buddy I'm just going to leave" - followed by two 'face palm' emojis.
A seemingly shocked Molly then asks: "What? Am I the c***?"
To which her date replies: "Omg I don't really think that at all I joke too much I say s**t like that just to say it." He then adds: "I completely understand if this is over."
Understandably, the message cost him his date with Molly, as she told him: "Yeah to be honest I'm not really comfortable meeting anymore. I just don't really feel like it's okay to call women that even as a joke and I kind of see it as a red flag sorry! [sic]"
The defeated guy then says: "I'm sorry sorry sorry but I get it."
Check out part two below:In a follow-up video (above), Molly reveals that the guy did apologize profusely for the blunder -which she did accept, but did not meet up with him again.
He then attempted to message her months later with a simple: "Hey".
The original post has since amassed over 4.7 million views, with people in agreement that Molly had done the right thing, with one person joking: "He helped you dodge his own bullet."
And a second added: "Men say the most vile things about women in front of their male friends. I'm glad you responded this way. Hopefully he learned something!"
However, Australian TikTok users hilariously couldn't see the issue:

A woman has taken to TikTok to call out the discourteous behavior of a guy who had been pursuing her.
In her initial video, posted on February 23, TikTok user Samantha Burroughs shares two screenshots containing text message exchanges between herself and a man she had matched with on the dating app Bumble.
In the first screenshot, her apparently charming Bumble date, Jake, sends Samantha a series of gushing messages, telling her that she's "beautiful" and that he "can't wait" to meet her.
The pair arrange to meet, with Jake telling Samantha that he's a "lucky guy", considering he gets to take her out.
In the next screenshot, however, it becomes evident that Jake was being completely disingenuous - he wasn't the nice guy he was painting himself out to be.
Check out the video below:In a message he had meant to send to a friend, but accidentally sent to Samantha herself, he shared a picture of the TikToker, branding her a "solid 4".
Jake wrote in the message: "No bro she's a solid 4 and would for sure keep it on the low but desperate times call for desperate measures and [beggars] can't be choosers. All I saw was t**s and an easy lay."
Realizing his mistake, he wrote in a follow-up message: "Damn I'm sorry I didn't mean to send that to you... I was talking about someone else and clicked your picture on accident. My bad."
In another video posted later that day, Samantha revealed that she hadn't responded to the degrading message and that she does not intend to go out with him after his appalling behavior.
In a third post, Samantha reveals that Jake messaged her after coming across her viral TikTok video.
He complains that she didn't show up to their pre-arranged date, refusing to acknowledge his demeaning message about her.
Despite no provocation from her, Jake then continues to belittle her: "It was a joke but I should [have] picked up that you were crazy when you said you foster kids. You can't get a man so you get a bunch of broken little kids to fill that void."
He then sends a screenshot of Samantha's Instagram grid, which contains selfies of her heavily made-up, prompting Jake to accuse her of being a catfish.
Jake persistently insults her in another message screenshot, with Samantha concluding that she has unmatched him on Bumble.
As you can probably imagine, Samantha has been overwhelmed with support from fellow TikTok users:

I'm off the opinion that people should be taught dating etiquette in school, because frankly there are a hell of a lot of people out there who just don't seem to get it. They don't have a clue about how to behave, and exhibit the kind of behaviour that would be spoilt and obnoxious even in a four-year-old-child, let alone a fully grown adult.
Something about dating just seems to bring out the worst in people, and I'm sure we can all remember a date that we went on with good intentions that turned out to be a total car crash. But if you want an example of some serious entitlement, then look no further.
Recently, a young woman named Amanda Burnett, a nurse who hails from Chicago, Illinois, took to Twitter to share her story of a cringeworthy encounter with a guy who was either very offended or else, just super-stingy. Amanda had been on a dinner date with this dude a few days previously, but unfortunately for her, the sparks just weren't flying.
However, rather than reject him straight away, Amanda elected to simply ghost him instead. She stopped answering his calls, and hoped that he would take a hint and cease with the unwarranted advances. Big mistake.
On April 3. Amanda received an invoice (that's right, an invoice: you read that correctly) from the dude in the mail, which charged her in full for her portion of the meal. As you can see from the image above, which she posted to Twitter, the letter did indeed look very official, and all told, he believed that Amanda owed him around $40.
Yup, I think this guy thinks he's entitled to sex, and that now he's missing out on it he wants his money back. Sorry man; I'm afraid it doesn't work that way.
In her initial tweet, Amanda stated: "I’m posting this on Twitter bc it can prob go viral honestly. Got this in the mail from a guy I went on a date with a few weeks back because I didn’t text him back." But that wasn't the end of the story.
The hapless suitor then texted Amanda, and like some kind of loan shark, asked her to pay him back immediately so she would incur "penalty fines." Wow; way to make yourself look even less attractive. As you can see below, Amanda was having none of it, and told him exactly where he could stick his invoice.
However, I think there is a lesson to be learned here, which is that being ghosted sucks for everyone involved. I'm not saying that it excuses this kind of behaviour, but maybe Amanda should have thought about letting her amorous date down gently, instead of giving him the cold shoulder. Still, I'm pretty confident that she's never going to fork over that $40. I'm not sure I would either.
