A woman has revealed how she was left mortified after a first date allegedly catfished her and then offered to pay her for oral sex – leaving her running out of his car.

Anisha Verma, from Leicester, was looking forward to going out with a man she had met on a dating app.

The pair had planned to go to Nando's together and the now 30-year-old says she was "excited" to meet him.

However, once the duo met in person, she knew straight away that something wasn't right and the meeting quickly turned sour.

The incident took place back when Anisha was a student, but she has only shared the story for the first time recently – taking to TikTok to do so, with her video getting over 33,300 views.

"He picked me up in his car and he said to me he was going to take me to Nando's but he proceeded to drive me to a Tesco car park," Anisha told http://NeedToKnow.co.uk .

"He looked completely different from his photos, but I thought I’d give him the benefit of the doubt as the conversation was so good on the app.

"He said he used his cousin’s photos to speak to girls online, which is a red flag in itself."

Just when Anisha thought the date couldn't get any more awkward, things took a dark turn.

She said: "We talked for about 30-40 minutes but it was a very sexual conversation and he made me feel uncomfortable, but I just kept shutting that type of talk down.

"He then took out his wallet randomly, I thought he was going to say let’s go and buy some drinks or snacks because he promised me dinner!

"He put a £10 note in one hand and a £20 in the other and said whichever hand I picked was how long I had to give him oral sex for.

"I ran out of the car as fast as possible and walked home at 11pm during winter!

"I was scared and kind of felt vulnerable walking home alone at night.

"My university houseshare was not in a very safe area but somehow it felt safer than being in a car with somebody who had attempted to sexualize me on this date, lied about what we were doing and also about what he looked like."

Anisha never spoke to the man again and blocked his number.

Taking to social media ( ), she has shared her horrific dating experience – where it has left users shocked.

In the video, she recalls what happened, describing it as "the worst date I have ever been on".

One person said: "It's stories like this that make me think I'm better off with the single life. Why do some guys think is acceptable to behave like this?!"

Someone else said: "No way, what’s wrong with him?? Expose his @ sis!!" [sic]

"Omg! What is wrong with the guy? You did the right thing girl...someone way better is looking for you," said another user. [sic]

"So sorry to hear that you had to go through this," someone else wrote.

One person added: "Best to stay single, at this rate the human population will be deflated."

"Sounds like a creep… next time drive to the restaurant yourself or get a Uber don’t get picked up, that’s where the trouble starts," another person wrote.

Another user commented: "What a disgrace of a man, sorry you went through that."

When looking back at the encounter, Anisha believes she was catfished and says she has learnt a lot from the horrific ordeal.

She added: "I would say to all men and women reading the article to always safeguard yourself and video call the person who you are going on a date with before meeting them.

"Also, meet them at the specified location you have arranged!

"Safe to say I have learnt from this experience and always vet them before meeting them."
