For TikToker Jas (@usernameisjas), her most recent dating experience solidified exactly why women are so exhausted by the modern dating scene. She got stood up on a second date with a guy she met on a dating app.
The first date with him went well, and she had such a good time. Afterward, they texted throughout the week, but she started to get suspicious of him. There were a few comments he made about having a physical relationship that seemed like red flags.
They planned a second date for 7 p.m. On the day of the date, she texted him. The last time she heard from him was at 2 p.m. She got a weird gut feeling that the date was not going to happen—and she was right.
Half an hour before the date, she decided to text him, asking if their plans were still on. By the time he texted back, it was around 9:30 p.m.
He apologized, saying that he had fallen asleep as soon as he returned home at 2 p.m. It made sense, so Jas didn’t think he was lying, but the way he messaged her seemed insincere.
She replied to express her disappointment. It took him days to suggest making it up to her, and he was almost defensive about it.
She also ended up calling him out for pushing her to hook up, even though he had claimed to be looking for a relationship. He then blamed her for randomly bringing up sleeping together.
Obviously, she did not see him again.
“Truly, the switch-up was crazy, and I hate a defensive man, and that’s exactly what he turned into, and then he flipped it on me,” Jas said.
Several TikTok users shared their own horrible experiences with dating apps and getting ghosted.

“Omg, this is taking me back to my time on Hinge, too! I don’t miss it. These guys were so wishy-washy, so in turn, I returned the same energy! I had one guy try to meet up with me at the very last minute on a morning date because he was in school. I am like…I work during this time. So, I unmatched him,” commented one user.
“That has happened to me. I asked a girl out. She said yes. I planned a date. I texted the planned date. She agreed on everything. I offer to pick her up or send her Uber money. One day before, I sent her a reminder. She confirmed. I showed up, and she never came. I was waiting for her at the location with flowers,” wrote another.
“This sounds like my on-again, off-again ex, who, ultimately, every few weeks, when it was off, he was with someone else doing the same thing,” added a third.
