What’s your dating app horror story? Yap about it!

Valentine’s may be the season of love, but, let’s be real, it can also be very messy.

In our brand new Yappler series, we want to celebrate the most romantic time of the year by reading your less-than-romantic online dating stories. Share your worst experiences with dating apps – because it’s not all sunshine and roses.

Yappler, a blend of “yap” (to talk continuously) and Rappler, is a new monthly community chat series on the Rappler app happening on Thursdays at 5 pm. We’re opening the floor for people to yap about an issue captivating the community.

In our inaugural session, we want to know: What is your dating app horror story, and what did you learn from it?

Answer the question in our chat room on Thursday, February 12, at 5 pm for a chance to have your story read in one of our videos!

To join the yap:

1. Download the Rappler app for iOS or Android, and create a free account. The web version is also available here.
2. Tap the app’s Community tab and join the Gender Equality chat room.
3. Enter the Gender Equality chat room at 5 pm on Thursday, and send your stories there. A moderator will be steering the chat to guide everyone.
4. We will read some of the chat room messages in our next Yappler video, to be released on Rappler’s social media.

Check out the videos that have already been published featuring the dating app horror stories of our very own Rappler staff:

We don’t just want to tell the news; we want to hear your side of it. See you on Thursday! – Rappler.com
