A TikTok video showing the awkward moment a man ordered food only for himself during a date has sparked widespread reactions across social media after the lady firmly declined his invitation to go home with him.
The video, posted by user @moncheree, quickly went viral, racking up thousands of views, likes, and comments as netizens weighed in on the unusual dating experience.
According to the lady, she had made it clear from the beginning of the date that she would be returning to her own home afterward and had no intention of spending the night with him. She recounted that her date’s demeanor changed almost immediately after she reiterated her stance.
“When I told him I wasn’t going home with him, his attitude just switched,” she explained in the caption and voice-over of the now-viral clip.
The most talked-about moment came when it was time to order food. Instead of placing an order for both of them or even asking what she wanted, the man reportedly ordered a full meal only for himself. In response, @moncheree chose not to order anything and simply drank the water already on the table.
The video shows the two seated side by side in a restaurant, with the man visibly focused on his phone while the lady films discreetly, capturing the uncomfortable atmosphere.
Her caption summed it up plainly:
“Went on a date with him and told him I won’t be going with him.”
The clip has divided opinion online. Many viewers praised the lady for standing her ground and found the man’s petty reaction hilarious, while others criticized him for what they described as entitled and disrespectful behavior.
Selected reactions:
- “He thought food was the payment plan 💀”
- “The audacity to order only for himself after inviting someone out is crazy.”
- “Sis handled it like a queen. Water was free and drama was priceless.”
- “This is why I don’t do dinner dates with strangers anymore.”
A few commenters, however, sided with the man, arguing that if a woman declines to go home with him, he is under no obligation to pay for or share his meal.
