A 6-Foot-8 Woman Joined a Dating App – Her First Match Asked Her to Wear Heels, but What Happened at Dinner Left Her Terrified
**At 74, I Wore Four-Inch Heels for My First Date in 12 Years—Then a Black SUV Arrived, and My Date Dragged Me Toward the Kitchen**
At six feet eight, I’d spent my life hearing jokes about my height. After losing my husband, I never expected to date again.
Then I met Richard, a charming 76-year-old widower, through a dating app.
Before our first dinner, he made an unusual request.
“Please wear your tallest heels.”
I thought he wanted me to feel beautiful.
But at the restaurant, Richard kept checking his watch and staring through the window. Then he asked me to stand.
Suddenly, a black SUV stopped outside. Two men stepped out, and Richard grabbed my wrist.
“We need to leave!”
He pulled me toward the kitchen, but the manager intervened.
One of the men approached and introduced himself as Richard’s son-in-law.
That’s when I learned the truth.
Richard had arranged for his daughter to drive past the restaurant. He wanted her to see him enjoying life after his wife’s death.
He’d asked me to wear heels because my seven-foot height would be impossible to miss.
I wasn’t his date anymore. I was his display.
I left feeling humiliated.
Days later, Richard apologized, admitting he’d treated me like a prop.
Eventually, we met for coffee again.
This time, I chose the place, the time, and my shoes.
**And I wore flats.**
