More often than not, most crazy dating stories we see on the internet are about men who are scared of commitment and bolt the second things start to get a little serious.

TikToker Alora Tefariah (@aloratefariah1) has an anecdote about a guy who was quite the opposite. In fact, he was determined to go out with her no matter the cost, even if it meant risking his own life.

So she had been talking to this guy, and he eventually asked her out on a date. They planned on going to the movies together.

On the day of the date, he picked her up, and they headed to the movie theater. So far, everything was fine.

But as they were standing in line to buy popcorn and snacks, Alora noticed that he appeared uncomfortable.

She noted that it didn’t seem like discomfort related to social anxiety but more like general physical discomfort. Of course, she asked him if he was okay, and he said yes.

They were a little late to the movie, so their seats were closer to the screen than Alora preferred. As they were seated, she noticed he was leaning over to one side and sweating profusely. Alora found it strange because it was usually colder in theaters.

She asked him again if everything was alright. This time, he slowly turned to her and drawled out the words, “Yeah, so I think I should’ve gone to the hospital.”

He informed Alora that he had given himself surgery after being bitten by a spider. Alora was confused and was starting to freak out a little.

Her date proceeded to lift up his shirt, revealing a bunch of duct tape wrapped around his chest and abdomen areas.

Then, he told her there was a hole in his stomach. After the spider had bitten him, he woke up the next day with a hole in his stomach the size of a quarter.

So he performed “surgery” on himself by using a turkey baster to suck out all the pus from the wound, stuffed it with gauze, and wrapped himself with duct tape so he wouldn’t have to miss their date.

Later, they discovered that he had been bitten by a brown recluse spider, and the spider’s venom had started eating away at his skin. If they hadn’t gone to the hospital that night, the venom would’ve traveled to his organs. In this case, he was literally dying to go out with her.

In the caption, Alora revealed that she ended up dating this guy for years, and he became her best friend.

Several TikTok users praised his level of commitment, while others questioned his ability to make good choices.

“An extreme case of ‘if he wanted to, he would,'” commented one user.

“I’m so conflicted because he has really bad decision-making skills, but on the other hand, he didn’t want to cancel the date, which is sweet, lol,” wrote another.

“He is not afraid of commitment in the least! I hope you went on a 2nd date with this gem!” exclaimed a third.
