The story of “West Elm Caleb,” a serial ghoster on the Hinge dating app, is as mystifying as the act itself.

There, the legend of New York City’s most eligible f – – kboy, West Elm Caleb, was spun: He is a 25-year-old mustachioed furniture designer named Caleb with a nasty habit of aggressively wooing his dates before disappearing from their radars.

The woman credited with instigating the conversation says that she’s never met the storied West Elm Caleb, but her own disappointing date with another Caleb prompted an onslaught of commiseration from other women in NYC.

Caleb has become somewhat of a mascot for the dreadful realities of online dating.

The man dubbed unaffectionately “West Elm Caleb” is one Caleb Hunter, 25, according to internet sleuths, as well as some of those alleging to be his victims.

In a clip published last week, she explained that her initial viral video was created “to make a joke about this very tall Caleb” she briefly courted in NYC, which pulled in 546,000 views — “but I kept having girls comment being like ‘is this West Elm Caleb?’ ”.

“But then I get a DM from a Caleb who says he’s also very tall, and I click on his bio, and it says ‘West Elm furniture designer.’ ”.
