She Went On A Date With A Best-Selling Author Who Showed Up Wearing An Old Tracksuit And Only Talked About Himself And His Wealth
If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to be on the dating app Raya in Los Angeles, this TikToker shares stories making you realize that rich men are still men and might not be all they are cracked up to be.
Tess Woolcock (@whattesswore) shares a story of a date she went on in LA with a guy she refers to as an “Elon Musk wannabe.”
“I gave him that name because he gave me serious rich guy who acts poor vibes,” Tess explains in her video.
After matching on the dating app, Tess takes a look at the guy’s Instagram, learning that he has a million followers and is a New York Times best-selling author. Tess is super intrigued by him and is looking forward to meeting up with him at a restaurant that they decided on.
Tess was not really expecting a table or meal, so she was fine when she saw him waiting for her at the bar in the restaurant. Her first impression of him, however, was different than she anticipated.
He was wearing an old, understated tracksuit with sneakers, but according to Tess, it was not coming off in a cool way at all. He did not look very well put together, and to add to this, the guy is sitting at the bar with a chocolate milkshake.
“He was like a big kid,” Tess describes.
This sight threw Tess off a little bit, but she did not want to judge a book by its cover and was still really looking forward to meeting him.
They started conversating, but Tess quickly realized that her date was only talking about himself. He told her about work, financial matters, and about a transformative moment he once had on the subway that caused him to see and feel people’s souls and emotions ever since.

He told her that he could feel the traumas of others just by looking at them and would often cry as a result. While empathy is a good quality to have, Tess was unsure about this story of his.
“I’m sitting there engrossed. He’s not crying. Clearly, he’s not feeling any of my trauma or any of my pain, but nonetheless, I was fascinated anyway,” Tess recalls.
At this point, the date had been going on for over 30 minutes, and Tess had still not been offered any type of drink or food. The guy continued rambling on, bragging about his future projects, name-dropping, and talking about his wealth, all while continuing to sip on his chocolate milkshake.
At the one-hour mark, still, no one had taken Tess’ order, and 45 minutes after that, she was trying to plan her escape.
“He just kept talking about himself. He hadn’t asked me one question about me, he kept crying about singing to people’s souls and keeps sipping on the chocolate milkshake, and I hadn’t even had a drink,” Tess retells.
What would you have done on a date like this one?
