Gen Z Romantic Gets Taught a Hard Lesson About Love and Social Media, Getting Burned on TikTok After Having an Epic First Date

Dating was hard enough before social media, but kids nowadays have to endure far worse dating struggles. As a person who found their soulmate just before the emergence of all those dating apps, I feel like I go on the last evac helicopter out of Nam. 

There are so many nuances when it comes to dating in 2023. Does someone have normal-looking socials? Do they post too much? Too little? What about their selfies? Are you about to date an influencer, an open book, a fraud, or a serial slayer? With so many lenses view a potential partner through, how do you know when you're seeing the full picture? In this next story, a Gen Z dater took a hit that many hopeless romantics are used to feeling: the punch to the gut after a seemingly great date. u/ThrowRA_Consistent12 learned a hard lesson in love the day he stumbled upon a 'harmless' TikTok video from a girl he thought he really connected with. 

Scroll for this surprisingly hopeful tale of a guy who got burned on TikTok by his date and decidedly swore off influencer girls for good.
