Man thought he had a romantic connection with woman next to him on flight… then he made a twisted discovery

A man has revealed his horror after he thought he had a romantic connection with someone sitting next to him on a plane… but then made a twisted discovery about her.

The traveler, 31, took to Reddit recently to share his dismay following the incident, and his story left thousands across the globe stunned.

He explained in the now-viral post that he was on a Southwest Airlines flight when he started talking to the ‘gorgeous woman’ who was sat beside him.

He said they ‘hit it off instantly’ and that she was ‘super flirty,’ and he noticed she had ‘no wedding ring’ on her finger.

‘She looked like she was alone when boarding,’ he added. ‘We discussed our plans and where we were flying [to] and she said that she was going to LA to visit some friends and I told her I was going for work.

‘At one point she got super handsy and even ended up placing her leg over mine and moved the armrest between us to get closer.’

The man said the two soon discovered that they were staying at the same hotel and ‘made plans’ to hang out that night at the hotel bar.

‘We ended up exchanging numbers and we legit made plans for that evening and I had a feeling things were going to get spicy,’ he continued.

But things started to take a turn when they landed.

He said the woman ‘quickly unbuckled her seatbelt’ and left in a hurry, making sure she was ‘one of the first people off the plane’ which he thought was ‘odd.’ 

‘After I walked down the ramp, to my surprise I saw her, except this time she had a wedding ring on her finger and was holding hands with a man as they were walking to get their bags,’ he shared.

‘Later that night, I ended up texting her just to see what was up and I even brought up seeing her after we landed but she brushed it off and avoided the topic. I thought that was weird so I just stopped replying to her.

‘I ended up grabbing a drink that night [at the hotel bar] and again to my surprise, her and this same man ended up sitting at the bar directly across from me. 

‘She never approached me and made flirty eye contact all night. Wild stuff.’

The man said he was ‘still trying to process what happened.’ 

His tale sparked a fierce reaction from other Reddit users, who rushed to the comment section to share their theories.

‘Her just acting out the first half of the fantasy with a stranger and hooking up with her husband later… Hey at least she’ll be thinking about you,’ one user wrote.

‘She’s just making sure she’s still got it,’ suggested another.

Someone else asked, ‘Were you two in eyesight of the husband during the flight? I bet they were playing out a fantasy and you were the dupe.’

‘Sounds as though her husband’s in on the “game,”‘ read a fourth comment, while a fifth said, ‘Bet it’s a kink that she and her husband have.’
