The eight-second clip drew a lot of attention and sympathy for the older man trying to get back out into the dating world.
Many TikTok users offered their support and commended Grandad Joe for the way he handled the situation with grace.
“You, my friend, are one of the most respectable people I will see on my fyp. Waiting an hour and not badmouthing someone. You are an inspiration,” praised one user.
“She missed out. You look so handsome. I think you are awesome!” complimented another.
“Man, she should’ve at least texted you to tell you she changed her mind. She did you a favor by not showing up,” commented a third.
Hopefully, Grandad Joe will have better luck in the future and find a lovely woman who would feel honored to go on a date with him.
