Last month, TikToker Jacki (@asdfghjacki) went out to get drinks with a guy she matched with on a dating app. He seemed a little nerdy since he had glasses, wore clear aligners, and was growing a beard that didn’t connect. He wasn’t really her type, but she was willing to give him a chance.
He had picked an elevated cocktail bar to go to for their date, so she thought that was a good sign. When she walked up to the bar, he was waiting for her outside.
He was super excited to the point where he was shouting, and she never got to clarify exactly what he was so enthusiastic about.
Once they got inside and sat down, he couldn’t stop looking at her chest. He was also talking very loudly. He ended up ordering a beer, even though the bar served cocktails almost exclusively.
“I order my own cocktail, and he serves up the question: if you got the opportunity to be with a man like me, would you be able to remain consistent?” Jacki recalled.
She told him that the question made her feel like she was at a job interview. He retorted that a job interview question would be something more like, “What’s your favorite color?”
It was ironic because that was actually the type of question to ask on a first date. Obviously, he had never been to a job interview before. He continued speaking at a very high volume for the rest of the date.
After having drinks, they decided to go for a walk. Jacki suggested that he walk her home. Throughout the walk, she could tell that he thought they were going to hang out at her place, which made her a little uncomfortable. So, she wanted to set the record straight.
About halfway through the walk, she asked him how far away he had parked because she wanted him to be able to walk back to his car easily. He was visibly confused as to why he would need to return to his car.

She told him that he was not invited over to her house, so he said that they could go to his place. She stated that she was not going home with him, and he was not going home with her. This clearly upset him, and he was silent for the first time that night.
When he finished sulking, he started playing a song on his phone. He sang at the top of his lungs as they walked down the street. Jacki felt embarrassed by him.
By the time they reached her house, he was wrapping up a political tangent. He even had the audacity to try to kiss her, which she successfully dodged.
She proceeded to have a lovely night alone with her Taco Bell food delivery and has vowed to stay off the dating apps.
