Summer is here and doors are opening, meaning love is truly fit to be in the air. Many will be giving the dating game a shot this upcoming season, and while some will find love blossoming, others aren't so lucky.
One TikTok user shared his journey to what he thought was going to be a lovely first date, only to be stood up, his heartbreak going viral afterwards.
That's what TikTok user @craig.moffat decided, having scheduled a first date with a girl he met online after being single for two years.
The commute was quite lengthy, as he had to travel from Edinburgh to Aberdeen by train, which takes a few hours.
Still, he seemed hopeful all the way through, anticipating a lovely night ahead. "I can't wait! I'm so excited," read one of the clip's captions.
He noticed first that his date wasn't on time. So he kept waiting, far past the acceptable time frame for her to show up late, and realized he was in the process of being stood up.
"I guess I'll just head home..." he wrote after leaving the restaurant, "I was really looking forward to tonight."
He also captioned the post with, "Maybe it’s not time to get back out there just yet…"
"Dude— I know you were excited but you've dodged someone that would have made you really unhappy in the end. You deserve better [..]," wrote one user, echoing much of the sentiment in the comment section.
Changing the perspective, another user wrote, "You took yourself on a date! That's the only one who truly deserves you."
What would you have done in Craig's situation? Let us know in the comments!
