I love a good Eat, Pray, Love kind of story when someone travels the world after a hard breakup and shares tales from their time abroad. 

One TikTok creator not only decided to travel after a break-up but also went on dates with single men in different countries. Now, she’s making a series of videos about how men and dating scenes vary worldwide. 

Anne Marie Hagerty (@annemariehagerty) went through an awful breakup last year with the man she thought she would marry.

She then began to travel the world all by herself and decided to try going on a date in every country she visited. 

As of December 2022, Anne Marie visited ten countries and noted that she has dating stories from all of them. 

“I’m going to share some of them with you on here,” she tells her TikTok followers. “Because traveling the world is amazing.”

One of my favorite dating stories from Anne Marie is about when she met a charming stranger in London while waiting on the sidewalk for a different planned date!

Anne Marie had met a guy named Steve on a dating app during her trip to London and, after a week of chatting online, decided to meet him in Notting Hill for coffee. You know, where the romantic movie with Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant takes place?

Steve was late to their date, so Anne Marie stood outside the coffee shop waiting for him. After a while, she noticed a man walking towards her who looked a lot like Steve.

She made eye contact with him, and he went up to her, saying, “Hey, it’s great to see you. How’s your day going?”

Still trying to understand whether or not this guy was Steve, she decided to ask him. He said no and that his name was Stefan. 

“I’m thinking, like, is that the same in England?” Anne Marie explains. 

The names are not the same, and after Anne Marie asked this guy specifically whether or not he was the Steve she met on a dating app that was supposed to meet her there, he charmingly said, “No, but clearly Steve is late, and I would never make you wait, so you should ditch him and come get coffee with me.”

She felt guilty for ditching Steve, but at that point, so much time had passed that she was convinced Steve wasn’t coming. Anne Marie messaged Steve apologizing, saying she didn’t know where he was and was leaving. She ended up getting coffee with Stefan!

Her afternoon with Stefan was lovely. First, they got coffee together, and then he showed her around the neighborhood, bringing her to local private gardens. When she thought there would be no sign of Steve, she notices a man sprinting down the street while she’s walking arm-and-arm with Stefan. Sure enough, it was Steve, presumably rushing to the coffee shop to see her. 

“Steve, if you’re watching this, I’m still so sorry, but alas,” says Annie Marie.

Isn’t that a great story?
