Unexpected lover from alternate planet

It would work well. Assuming the aliens had learned our culture and language from afar and rather than picking people up from country road crossings, with bright lights and tractor beams, they would just rent a house and use Tinder to lure people there with promise of a hookup. Imagine the young man who was a complete loser with the ladies, thinks he's finally gonna score with this gal from Tinder. He walks into the home to find this gorgeous woman standing there. He's elated until he hears the locks engage behind him and sees the tentacles come out. There has to be tentacles. It's a rule.
 
You could have something akin to a hyperdimensional anglerfish, where the lure is an incredibly attractive man/woman. So the guy goes on a blind date to her place, she seems great, but much like a 2D universe watching a 3D sphere pass through it, he can't perceive the higher dimensionality of the entity; its 3D imprint is a shapeshifting blob of meat that it uses to interact with the "lower" dimensions. It's telepathic, so it can pick up his every whim and desire, give him everything he wants.

Could take it in a couple directions:

1. Food: The obvious one. It could either be that the food is the person and it shifts its meat-puppet into a mouth to eat him after he's in a daze from the amazing sexual experience so it can extract nutrients, or it feeds on sexual energy or some other type of energy emitted/generated from sex.
2 (the one I like a lot more). It's lonely! It's the only hyperdimensional entity anywhere for a long ways in all dimensions. It can feel everything the meat-puppet feels, and it craves connection. Or maybe it was shunned by the rest of its species for bothering to interact with lower beings that only exist in 4 dimensions (ew!), and it's found the presence of humans to be very comfortable. It's actually quite shy and unsure of itself, wanting to reveal its true nature, but too scared that it'll freak out the other person. Maybe one day it finds someone who secretly has a monsterfucking fetish, and turns its meat-puppet into the 4D approximation of its actual 11D existence. The guy is shocked, but finds the form very appealing, and tells the creature that he thinks it's beautiful.

I'm gonna cry, it's so beautiful 🥹
