Woman Chats On Tinder While Hospitalized For Delivering Baby, Conversation Goes Viral

A British man, Brad Galloway from North Yorkshire, United Kingdom looking for Tinder date on New Year’s Eve would have gotten bummed after getting rejected by a match, except for the reason the woman gave him, for not going out with him.

As it turned out, she was busy delivering a baby.

A screenshot of the conversation with the unidentified woman uploaded by Brad on Twitter, went viral, receiving 127,000 likes and an array of comments.

When Galloway asked the woman what she was doing, she told him that she was in hospital. Concerned that his potential love interest had got drunk ahead of New Year’s Eve, or worse, he asked her the reason she was there. That is when he got the unexpected reply.

"Having my baby ah. Gutted I'm not out tonight,” she said.

Brad’s tweet was flooded with hilarious memes and comments. One user posted the picture of a baby bump with the words “Tinder Surprise” scribbled across the belly, while another wrote, “Gutted she's not going out. Wow."

Yet a third commented, "Modern dating haha,” while another simply said, “Excuse me WHAT." Here are a few other hilarious reactions to Brad’s tweet:

However, this is not the first time that someone on a dating app was left speechless by a match. A Delta Air Lines pilot hit on a passenger on Grindr while he was flying the plane in August.

JP Thorn, 27, a student of communications at Hamline University, who was flying from Saint Paul, Minnesota, to Chicago. found a new message on Grindr after landing at his destination and turning on his phone that surprised him. “I see you’re on my flight,” the message read. “Enjoy the ride to Chicago.”

Thorn concluded that that the message had come from the pilot who was flying his plane by a number of indications, like the sender’s profile picture that featured a snapshot of the sky taken from the cockpit. The app detected the man 90 feet away from him. And since he had received the message half an hour before the flight landed, it meant the pilot had sent it while still flying the aircraft.

“My reaction was I knew I needed to get off this plane as fast as I can,” he said. “I’ve had some weird experiences with proximity stuff on Grindr.”

However, Thorn’s concerns disappeared once he replied to the pilot and started a conversation with him. “He asked me about our flight, how it was on the way, and [the conversation] was really standard. I said there was no turbulence, then he made a joke about turbulence,” Thorn said.

Thorn, too, uploaded a screenshot of the conversation on Twitter after which many social media users encouraged him to give dating the pilot a shot. “I got a lot of people saying I should’ve met up with pilot because they make a lot of money,” he said. “That was pretty funny.”

However, Thorn never really got a chance to ask the pilot out, as he had to catch a connecting flight at the time and he deleted the app thereafter.
