In a similar story, Briefly News covered that a local woman is sharing her embarrassing experience after being ghosted by a flaky mystery man. The lady had travelled from Mpumalanga all the way to Pretoria, more than 200km, to meet the man she had the hopes of starting a relationship with.

Heading online, @khomotsoacc shared her story. "Have you ever been ghosted? I travelled from Mpumalanga to Pta to meet a guy I was chatting to on FB and when I arrived at Bosman, he blocked me.

"He read my messages, then blocked me. Mind you I had no friends or family in Pta, I had to sleep at the bus depot," she captioned the post tearfully.

The young woman's cautionary tale certainly confirmed the fears of many local women hoping to get into long-distance relationships. A few social media users even shared their own embarrassing moments of being bamboozled by a person they had met online.
