A singleton has sworn off dating apps after being left red-faced when his Tinder match gave him a rather harsh brush off.

Singleton Harry, believed to be from Leeds, took to social media to share his embarrassment, revealing he'd asked a girl named Rachel on a second date, after meeting her the night before.

But instead of replying, she accidentally sent him a screenshot of his own message, followed by LMAO, before quickly apologising when she realised her mistake.

He posted the exchange to Twitter, saying: 'I'm deleting Tinder', and the post quickly racked up more than 237,000 likes, with commenters agreeing that he'd dodged a bullet.

'She took of a screenshot of his message with the intention of sending it to a friend to laugh at him. But she sent it to him by mistake. Ouch,' one wrote.

'I'm deleting Tinder,' wrote the man, called Harry, from the UK on his Twitter alongside a grab of his message to the woman, receiving the accidental response from her (right)

Harry had been on a date the night before with a woman called Rachel that he met through the app, and thought it went well enough to ask her on a second date.

His tweet showed that he's texted his match, saved as 'Rachel Tinder' on his phone, saying: 'Hey, I had a really nice time last night. Would love to see you again some time?'

Instead of the emphatic yes Harry was hoping for, he received an embarrassing response when Rachel sent him back a screenshot of his own message, followed by LMAO - an abbreviation for 'laughing my a** off'.

'Oh my God, I'm so sorry,' she responded, which Twitter users took as a clear admission that she was meant to send the screenshot to someone else.

Harry's (pictured) tweet showed that he text his date, saved as 'Rachel Tinder' on his phone, saying: 'Hey, I had a really nice time last night. Would love to see you again some time?'

'Why are people so awful?' replied a second person, feeling Harry's pain.

Another person added: 'I'm asking my whole community to pray for you during this awful tragedy.'

'Safe to say you’re not seeing her again,' added another while several said that Harry 'deserves better'.

Explaining his tweet, one person said: 'She took of a screenshot of his message with the intention of sending it to a friend to laugh at him, hence the 'LMAO'. But she sent it to him by mistake. Ouch.'

Attempting to offer an alternative to why the young lady may have accidentally sent the grab, another person said: 'Maybe she was super flattered by his text and wanted to share it with a friend? No?'

Another theorised, possibly sarcastically: 'She was so excited and proud to get your text that she wanted to share it with close friends. Nothing to worry about.'

However, on the balance, people seemed to think her sending a grab of the conversation was an attempt to mock him, with some pointing out that she didn't even save his number.

'It looks like she took a screenshot of his message and meant to send it to a friend (making fun of him with LMAO), but accidentally sent it to him and fake apologized,' wrote another commenter.
