Jamie Aitken, 32
Whipping out my phone, I typed a reply to my Tinder match, Jaclyn.
Tell me about yourself. What do you do for work? I asked.
It was July 2019, and we'd recently connected on the dating app.
I work for a charity, she replied.
As we continued to message, it struck me how kind she was.
Not only did she work for a reputable charity, she also flew to Vietnam every year to volunteer at a children's orphanage.
She's really nice, I thought.
Continuing to chat, I told her I was going to my cousin's wedding in a nearby town that weekend.
I'm there too for work. Let's meet up, she suggested.
So after a fun day of celebrating, I met Jaclyn in a bar around the corner.
'Hi,' I grinned.
After a drink, we headed back to her hotel room and I ended up staying the night.
The next morning, we hung out before I headed back to where my family was staying.
Jaclyn messaged a few days later asking if I wanted to meet again. Deciding she wasn't the right one for me, I gently let her down.
She asked me a second time a few days later, but I again said no.
Then, three weeks later, Jaclyn sent me a picture of two pregnancy tests.
Don't freak out. This is my problem not yours and I will handle it, she wrote.
