When they finally found a date that suited both of them to meet, they decided to finally go for a drink and talk face-to-face.
Brydon told MamaMia things seemed perfect when they first met in person.
"Without saying a word he laid his lips on me, laid his palm on my lower back and kissed me. It was happening. Everything was coming together," she said.
The two had a great time in their evening together and Brydon went home feeling like she had truly found her match.
The next morning, she woke up and reached for her phone to check for a message from him (there was usually one).
She had a text message but not from him. The five words in that message changed everything: "Stay away from my boyfriend".
Brydon and the woman talked and figured out what happened: after matching with Brydon, the man had met the other woman and been dating her since. He had already met her family and they were going to move in together.
Her world was turning upside down.
"I would never pursue a man who had a partner. And I would do anything to undo hurt caused to the woman I upset. But I did not know," Brydon said.
"So, all I can take from the experience is a piercing and cold lesson. Be careful who you trust."
