Thea took screenshots of the conversation and shared them on Twitter, which quickly garnered lots of attention – probably because so many women can, sadly, relate. It also caught the attention of the brand who made the dress in question, ASOS, and what they did next was pretty amazing.

The online retailer used the photograph of Thea wearing the £75 lilac dress as one of their advertising shots. Their Twitter account replied: “Here’s to finding our perfect match. Thea babe, let’s talk.”

Thea and ASOS have taken Twitter by storm with the story, with Thea gaining over 105,000 likes on the image. Of course, she has been inundated with positive messages.

Speaking to Stylist.co.uk, Thea explained: “I was just absolutely gobsmacked that somebody could be so mean, I was quite upset and angry so I decided to post them on Twitter to ‘expose’ it a bit. I never thought I’d get the response that I have done. It’s been absolutely incredible and I couldn’t be more grateful for the amount of support I’ve received so far. I also can’t believe that ASOS have used my photo, it’s amazing and so surreal.”

Maybe - just maybe! - this will finally make dating app users think twice before writing an unwanted message.
