She Went On A Second Date With A Guy Who Just Made Her Tag Along For His Daily Routine, Which Included Walking His Dog And Awkwardly Watching Him Do Pushups
It’s bad enough to have a crummy first date, but what’s even worse is having an amazing first date only to realize that the guy is a total jerk the second time around.
TikToker Erin Mae (@erin__mae) went on a second date with a guy that consisted of him doing his daily scheduled activities and chores the whole time, such as his workout routine and dog-walking. He even wanted to make a trip to the grocery store, but that’s when she finally put her foot down.
On Halloween in 2020, Erin’s friend was on her phone, scrolling through social media when Erin suddenly spotted a cute guy on the screen. She made her thoughts known, and her friend admitted that she and the guy, Mike, would actually be a good match. She encouraged Erin to follow him on social media, so that’s what she did.
Almost immediately, he followed Erin back and sent her a message saying she was cute and that they should go on a date. Since they were still under lockdown during that time, they started with a FaceTime date.
For their first date, Erin had the idea of making each other’s favorite cocktail beverages so they could have something to discuss over the phone. Her favorite drink was a Mai Tai, and his was an old fashioned.
Their date went super well, and they even talked about how excited they were about what it meant for them. A couple of days later, they decided to meet in person. When that day came, Erin texted him, asking what time she should head over to his apartment. He answered back, saying that she could come over whenever she wanted.
She arrived at his place at 5:30, but he wasn’t ready yet, so she had to sit and wait for him for thirty minutes. Finally, he went downstairs to greet her, wearing a tracksuit. His dog was also on a leash, and the leash was wrapped around his waist. As they headed toward his apartment, he sped ahead, leaving her trailing behind in his wake.
When they reached his apartment, he offered her some water. At the same time, his roommate, Jack, emerged from the hallway and offered her a beer. Mike glared at Jack when Erin chose to have a beer. After she received her drink, Jack returned to his room.
Then, Mike announced that he hadn’t had the chance to do his workout routine that day. He played a song called “Put Your Records On” and looked at Erin expectantly while he did pushups on the ground.

Erin asked if this was the move he usually made on girls. He said no, and that’s when Jack came back to save the day. Jack sat next to Erin and started asking her about herself, so now, Erin was on a date with Jack. Once Mike finished his workout, he declared that they would walk his dog. Erin wasn’t wearing the proper shoes for a long walk, but they went for one anyway.
When they got back to the apartment, he led her to his bedroom, where he demonstrated how soundproof it was. Then, they moved to the kitchen because he wanted to make her a Mai Tai. However, he realized he was out of lime juice. So, he stated that they would go to the grocery store. He proceeded to make a list of all the items he needed to stock up on for the apartment.
However, she refused to go to the grocery store with him, pointing out that he was merely fitting her into his schedule and that they weren’t on a real date. At that point of the conversation, Jack had entered the kitchen. Jack agreed that taking your date to the grocery store was terrible.
Mike tried to save the date by making her dinner. The dinner was a salmon patty that was part of his meal prep. After having two drinks, Erin was beginning to feel a bit tipsy, so she had no choice but to eat the salmon patty.
While she was eating, he kept glancing at her with a disappointed look on his face. When she asked what was wrong, he told her that the spark they seemed to have over FaceTime wasn’t there anymore.
She told him that she was going to leave. Before she left, he asked her to do one last thing with him. He had her turn her chair to face him so they were eye to eye. Then, he revealed that he wanted to do an acting exercise called Meisner’s repetition.
She declined and quickly made her exit. The next day, he texted her, begging for a second chance and a shot at being friends. She informed him that she wasn’t looking for a friend who didn’t appreciate her time.
