Have you ever been on a date that has lasted a lot longer than you really wanted it to?
TikTok creator Tyson Wong (@tysonwong48) shares a story of a date he went on that seemed never-ending.
Tyson matched with a girl on Tinder, and they decided that they would meet up and go out to dinner together. He picked a restaurant and offered to give her a ride there.
She wasn’t comfortable with the idea of a stranger picking her up from her house, which he respected, so they agreed to meet up at a parking garage instead. From there, Tyson would take them to the restaurant to officially begin their date night.
Things get weird for Tyson pretty quickly. On the way to the restaurant, he moves his hand over towards the gear shift, but the girl thinks he is reaching over to hold her hand, so she grabs his hand!
“Now I’m stuck with the awkward decision of do I let go and make her feel weird, or do I hold onto someone’s hand when I don’t really want to hold hands with them,” Tyson says.
Tyson describes the dinner date itself as pretty mediocre. The food and conversation were fine, and because she was an influencer, she talked the majority of the time about herself and growing her platform and follower count.
Ultimately, Tyson was not feeling connected to her romantically, and so after dinner, he drove her pack to the parking garage, where he picked her up from. As they arrive, they realize that the parking garage is closed!
Tyson offers to take his date home, but she has another idea. She knows that Tyson lives closer to the parking garage, so she suggests that she just spends the night at his place, essentially inviting herself over. Tyson hesitantly agrees to the plan but lets her know that he does not sleep with people on the first date and tells her that she can sleep on the bed and he will take the couch.
When they get back to his place, Tyson decides that he is going to head to bed, not really wanting the date to continue any further. Suddenly, his date starts to hint that she wants to hook up with him. Explaining himself again, Tyson told her that that was just not his thing, but she reacted pretty negatively and fussed about it for a while.
At this point, Tyson cannot wait until this girl can leave his place. However, it still won’t be as soon as he was hoping.
The next morning, they realized it had snowed overnight, and the roads were now closed and covered in snow and ice, making it too unsafe to drive to the parking garage. Meaning the pair were stuck in Tyson’s apartment for another day!
“I have never felt more awkward in my own home in my entire life,” Tyson says, “and I’ve lived with abusive people!”
During that day together, the girl starts talking about her ex, which Tyson is fine with. He would rather talk about that and see if he can give her any advice than try to progress any connection with her.
“This date goes on for about two days. Worst first date ever,” says Tyson.
Finally, the snow melts, Tyson takes her back to her car, and they go their separate ways and don’t really communicate much after that. Except, a few days after their extra long date, the girl messages Tyson saying that she didn’t actually want to hook up with him that night.
“And then we never speak to each other again,” Tyson says. “I hope she’s doing okay.”
