A man in Tampa Bay, Florida, said that he was asked out after meeting another man on Tinder. He was told to “wear something fancy” and fully expected to be taken to a nice, expensive place for dinner. He said the outing instead led to a Taco Bell drive-thru rather than the restaurant he expected.
TikToker Wyjosn shared the story with his followers, saying it occurred about a year ago. The video has since gained traction, receiving more than 900,000 views, 188,000 likes, and 3,000 comments.
The Florida man had met this mysterious date on Tinder, who straight-up asked him out. He said his date suggested dressing up for a visit to a “good spot.” He said he followed the instructions and dressed up for the outing.
According to the video, the situation did not go as expected from the start, as his date arrived late. However, the location did not match those expectations. He said the “good spot” turned out to be a Taco Bell drive-thru rather than a sit-down restaurant.
He said he did not order food due to a dietary restriction related to alpha-gal syndrome, and the date refused to pay for extra chicken. He said his date then drove him to his home, which he claimed was about an hour away.
He said the situation became uncomfortable after arriving at the home, where his date continued eating while he expressed a desire to leave. The date was shocked and told him to watch a movie with him. Wyjosn agreed, but halfway into it, the date asked him if they were going to cuddle.
Date Ends In Disaster, Reactions
The video sparked reactions online.
“No, thank you,” the Florida man said. “You just had Taco Bell. Why would I want to be anywhere near your digestive tract right now? Hard pass. That’s gonna be a pass for me.”
Eventually, the date ended with Wyjosn’s date taking him back home, even though he initially told him to call an Uber. He also claimed that the situation did not end there. He also claimed that the date contacted him nearly a year later and asked for reimbursement for the Taco Bell order, even though he said he had not ordered any food.
Some users expressed disbelief, questioning whether the story was real. One commenter wrote, “Why is each sentence worse than the last?” Others reacted to how the situation escalated, with one saying, “My jaw is permanently dropped after half of this video.” Some viewers responded more seriously, with one writing, “Call the police, I’m so serious.”
The story appears to be gaining attention due to the contrast between expectations and reality, as well as the series of unexpected developments described in the video. Viewers are reacting to both the awkward nature of the date and the follow-up request nearly a year later.
The video continues to circulate as viewers share their reactions.
