This Is How She Hilariously Dealt With Being Stood Up By A Guy She Met Online
Whether it is the 1st date or the 3rd date, getting ghosted by someone without explanation can be gut-wrenching. You may be sitting at the bar alone, wondering why he didn’t show up or where it went wrong.
While this decision on behalf of your date can trigger many emotions, it’s important to note that it’s not you, it’s them.
So your date went MIA. They were supposed to meet your 30 minutes ago, you dressed to the nines, which includes undeniably the worst task in the world, shaving your legs, and now you’re left to sulk in a nearby bar wondering why the jerk took days of your time talking to you but could not take 5 seconds to call it quits.
What if we change the game by making them miss the opportunity they chose to skip out on?
That’s precisely what Tik Toker @benjollo decided to do, and now the ball is in her court.

After being stood up by a Tinder date, @benjollo, who was less than disappointed, decided to make a running joke about it.
She starts off by posting a video on Tik Tok using the trend where people express moments in time when they may have been considered “crazy.”
She captions the video with, “Thinking about how I got stood up by a Tinder date a year ago and I still snap him every now and again saying “hey are you on your way?”

While being stood up by your date can be devastating to most, @benjollo knows her worth and chooses to handle the situation like a boss.
Now they carry banter back and forth as she continues to snap him funny videos asking if he will be showing up or not.
What makes this joke even better is the guy choosing to entertain it. He responds with, “Oh, my flight was delayed! I’ll be there soon!”
Creating this lighthearted atmosphere has set the scene for a fun friendship.

While @benjollo has been posting her bomb selfies to Instagram, her MIA Tinder date continues to reply and even asks if they will be hanging out for real anytime soon.
Sure some of us would dismiss the man who chose to ditch out on the first date. However, she decided to give him a second chance which ultimately led to them staying “just friends.”
@benjollo inserts screenshots of text messages throughout her Tik Tok videos showing conversations between the two of them, and it’s clear as day that she made the best decision to play it cool.
At the end of the day, I think we should all consider taking notes from her.
