After a while of him trying to cuddle me, I politely asked him to leave. Afterward he sent me overtly sexual messages, and I asked him to stop contacting me, at which point he lashed out, called me names, and commented on my weight. Blocked him. A couple weeks later, I logged into the app, and he came up as I was swiping, claiming my neighborhood as where he lived and even posting a pic of the view from my balcony.
I reported everything to Hinge, and they very quickly took care of it, as he violated the user agreement with the name calling.
I explained that I live in the building and I needed to get to my dog, who was in my apartment. Once they realize the apartment that the man was trying to break into was MY apartment, I had officers escort me upstairs to get my dog and bring me to an animal-friendly hotel. I had to stay there until I was able to speak with detectives.
They arrested this man and charged him with aggravated stalking, aggravated harassment, and attempted breaking and entering. They also granted me a restraining order. I had to move as a result.
I obviously declined for safety reasons and he stood me up twice. I explained to him kindly I can't trust his word and I won't go to his house. Fast-forward three hours and he is not taking no for an answer; he is convincing me to come over to his place.
