Woman who has been on 1,000 dates reveals her worst experiences

A woman who's been on over 1,000 dates has lifted the lid on some of her worse experiences which has lead to her running her dating life like a recruitment process.

Thanks to her career as a writer and actor, Suzan Mutesi splits her time between London and Sydney and has met a whole lot of people during that time.

After having two long-term relationships during her twenties, Suzan took a different approach heading into her thirties and said she would line up men when she did 'not feel like cooking'.

However, she's had a lot of bad luck when it comes to dating in recent times, including one date setting his kitchen on fire and another bringing a third party along expecting a threesome.

One of her more bizarre encounters involved a man she connected with on LinkedIn, who she thought looked professional.

The pair moved things over to WhatsApp a few days later and began chatting on video call shortly after.

Suzan was left surprised to find a man wearing shorts and flip-flops looking like a 'surfer dude' turn up at the restaurant.

The man lived in a van without a shower or toilet and washed himself in the ocean every day, it was revealed during the date.

“He tried to kiss me and I just said ‘Oh look at the stars’ to distract him – I just couldn’t believe it,” Suzan told PA Real Life.

Suzan claimed the following day that she received a text from the date saying he had found nits and that she should visit a doctor. Luckily, she was in the clear after using a lot of shampoo.

Another date went horribly wrong after a fella she initially clicked with drank alcohol 'excessively' during a date before he opened up his phone to reveal an AI-generated image of Suzan in underwear.

"He said he wanted to envision me in lingerie, so I got up and thanked him for his time – I was just in shock," she added.

“He reached out the next day and said sorry if he made me uncomfortable, and I said if he contacted me again I’d go to the police, so I blocked him.

“It was so creepy – it was the one time I didn’t screen someone.”

While she may not be lucky in love right now, Suzan is certainly the romantic type and sent flowers to herself to mark Valentines Day.
