A 30-year-old woman went on a first date to the movies; however, her date never ended up showing, and she was getting a lot of sketchy vibes from him. Thankfully, nothing dreadful happened, and she made it home safely.

TikTok user Laura (@lauramuzzarelli) is sharing a bad date story about a guy she met a month ago. The guy was actually her waiter at a Mexican restaurant.

Laura and her friend were dining at the restaurant, and at the end of their meal, he handed Laura a note asking for her phone number.

A hopeless romantic to her core, Laura gave him her number. Later, they started texting but came across some communication problems.

His English wasn’t the greatest, and Laura’s Spanish speaking skills weren’t up to par either. But they made it work, and soon enough, he was asking her out on a date.

He left the decision of when and where to Laura, so she picked a movie, figuring that it was her safest bet since she had never hung out with this man before.

They planned to meet in the movie theater lobby at 7:15, five minutes before the movie started. Then, he asked if she was going to bring a friend with her so it wouldn’t just be the two of them.

Laura found his question odd but chalked it up to possible communication issues or cultural differences.

The next evening, Laura showed up at the movie theater early and informed him that she was waiting in the lobby and wearing a pink sweater.

He told her he was running late, which Laura wasn’t impressed by. Twelve minutes after the movie had started, he arrived at the theater.

However, he wanted Laura to meet him outside, his reasoning being so he would know where to find her. Laura raised an eyebrow at that and replied that she was the only one in the lobby, so it wouldn’t be very difficult to locate her.

After that, he didn’t text back for a while, continuing to leave her waiting. Finally, he said he couldn’t find her and asked Laura to send her location.

She refused his request and kept sitting in the lobby. She was beginning to grow anxious, so she told him she would just head home since they were missing the movie anyway.

He tried to suggest going to dinner or watching a movie at his place, but obviously, Laura was not a fan of either option.

Instead, she bought a bucket of popcorn and asked the teenage employee behind the counter to walk her to her car because she was afraid this whole situation was a kidnapping scheme in disguise.

While driving home, he tried calling her multiple times; Laura declined each call. He texted her, begging for another chance.

He even sent her a picture from his car, facing the theater she was just at. The next morning, he tried to invite Laura out on another date, resulting in her blocking his number.
