Dating in the modern age presents lots of unexpected challenges, as this person was stunned to discover on their first date.
Most people have some form of social media, and a lot of people have TikTok accounts where they record themselves doing hobbies, hanging with friends, or sharing videos of their pets. You know — the usual stuff. But there's a particular type of social media personality who seems insufferable to hang out with, because they're the type of person who records everything. They're always "on," always seeming to act for the camera, styling their food to photograph it before eating it, and insisting on taking dozens of photos or videos before doing anything. Nothing can ever be casual or un-aesthetic. Their attitude is that if they didn't record it, it didn't happen. Any and everything is fair game, including dating, as this unfortunate person discovered in real time.
I've just never understood how someone could happily date someone who talks about them online all the time though, with or without permission. Some folks love to go on TikTok and make long videos airing out their grievances. Oftentimes, commenters will just tell them to leave that person, and of course they'll make follow-up videos about that. While they have every right to do so, I can't help but think about how hurtful it would be to argue with your significant other and find out that instead of communicating with you, they're complaining about you online to millions of strangers.
This person didn't even make it into a relationship — or even a second date! — with the woman who recorded them during date #1. Some folks will claim they do this for safety… I suppose if things are getting weird, then you could start recording (or just give someone your location, name of your date, etc. in order to keep an eye on you from afar). But this woman clearly wanted to use the date as content. Forget about getting to know this person — she wanted a video from the date, whether it went good or bad. Plus, imagine if the date had gone well! She still would've made a video about her thoughts on the date and this person against their wishes. At least this person found out about her secretive recordings before getting too involved with her and all of her followers.
