Two years ago, when TikToker Gwen (@gwennywrld) was 21, she went on a date with a 28-year-old guy who told her that he wished she still looked like she did in an old bikini photo.
So, she had known him through mutual friends, and after she ended up moving closer to where he lived, they started texting. He asked her out to a baseball game, and everything was great.
However, there were small red flags. She noticed that he kept checking out other girls as they walked by. She thought that was weird, but she brushed it off because he was a lot of fun to hang out with.
Next, they went out to a football game together, followed by drinks at a bar. That was where things really started to shift. The bar was packed, and at one point, a guy they both knew came up to chat with them.
He joked about Gwen going up to the bar to get them some more drinks because she was a pretty girl. But her date said that wouldn’t work, basically implying that she wasn’t attractive enough.
Gwen continued drinking to numb the sting of his insult, attempting to salvage the night. But it only got worse. Suddenly, two tall women walked up and greeted her date.
They were the same age as her date. They talked briefly before he introduced Gwen to them. They told her date that someone named Chelsea would be interested to know he was there. Chelsea was a girl he used to talk to.
Immediately after that, he pulled up Gwen’s Instagram, zoomed in on a bikini picture from two years prior, and said that he wished she still looked like that. They headed to the next bar, and Chelsea happened to be there.
“I don’t know if he’s dating this girl currently, like clearly not, because if that was actually his girlfriend, she would be over here causing a fit, so I’m like, clearly, they’re not actually dating, and he’s telling the truth that they used to talk, but this is crazy,” said Gwen.

She could feel Chelsea and her friends staring at her. She finally looked over and awkwardly waved at the group of girls because she couldn’t take the tension any longer. The next time she glanced over, Chelsea was crying.
Gwen, her date, and their friend left the bar. The friend asked her date why he was still stringing Chelsea along. He proceeded to do a front flip into a bush on the side of the road.
Gwen left, and he later texted her, asking what was wrong. She explained that literally everything he did was wrong. Afterward, she never spoke to him again.
