Anonymous, 21, female, Cardiff: “When the date was going badly, I told him I had to leave by 8.30 to go to my friend’s house for her birthday. When we were leaving the restaurant, I tried to peel off, saying I had to go into the Co-op to buy a birthday cake. He insisted on accompanying me in and I ended up spending four quid on a birthday cake. It’s still sat in my cupboard.”

I’m jealous and a liar but I am proud of it and it’s for your good. Nobody dares to say something when I speak and I never cook, that’s a woman’s job! Everything that is said about me is probably true!!! But you can make your own opinion and learn to know me, you could be surprised.’ I swiped left.”
