Women Who Were “Flown Out” By Wealthy Men Who Slid In Their DMs Are Sharing Their Stories

“I met a guy about my age (22 back then) on Reddit. I had never seriously dated anyone at this point, but he told me he wanted to meet me. Initially, he wanted me to fly to him. He was from a rich family and lived in a very nice countryside mansion that he’d shown me when we used to video call, but I was a little bit skeptical, so we agreed to meet in a different city in my country. I was half expecting to be kidnapped, so I don’t know why I had agreed to it, but he was actually just a regular dude. He was extremely shy, but a nice person. We spent a week together traveling around, went to three different cities, slept in some fancy hotels, ate in renowned restaurants, got VIP access to places, took helicopter rides, and stayed in a private cabin in the mountains.”

“I think he truly just wanted a friend. From our many chats, I could sense he felt quite lonely. We had sex, which I initiated, but he only cared about how I felt and never let me do anything for him. In general, I was happy to show him around and make him smile, but he didn’t speak much or show much emotion. At some point, I felt guilty that he was paying for everything without asking for anything in return, so eventually I insisted on splitting the bills.

After a week of what felt like a movie, he went back home, and I cried for three days nonstop. My roommates actually got worried. Oh, and the splitting the bills part left me with three maxed-out credit cards, which I struggled to pay for the next six months. 

After he got back, we continued talking, but less and less. He offered to help me with money, but I felt guilty again and declined. All I got from him was a pretty nice ring and a bracelet. He told me they were really expensive and to be careful walking in public with them, but I never bothered to check. They are more valuable to me as a reminder of our good times.

Sometime later in the same year, I met my current wife, and we’ve been together ever since. She teases me to this day because I chose her over a millionaire.

In all seriousness, though, I hope he’s okay and found someone who makes him happy. I haven’t heard of him in years. I tried reaching out at some point, but never got a reply. I still get a bit emotional and worry if he’s okay.”
