Nearly 5 Million People Watched This Woman's Video Detailing How Her Date Blocked Her Because He Thought She Was "Pranking" Him, And It Shows What Kind Of Immaturity Lots Of Women Have To Deal With In The Dating Scene

If you're dating right now, I don't have to tell you that it's pretty rough out there, mostly because a lot of straight men refuse to get their *ish* together.

Jenny Nguyen-Don, a 29-year-old dater currently living in London, knows exactly what I mean. She recently shared this TikTok detailing her experience with a man she set up a date with. Only, they almost didn't go on the date because he blocked her number after she didn't respond to his texts fast enough.

In the video, Jenny details her full experience: "I had a date tonight, and the plan was to meet at Leicester Square at 6:15 [p.m.] ... So I messaged the guy at 5:30 being like, 'Leaving now, I should be there on time.'"

After that, Jenny explains that she took a subway line that doesn't have cell service, so she wasn't able to receive or send text messages while she was traveling to meet her date. Once she arrived at their meetup spot, things took a turn. "I arrive at Leicester Square at 6:17, so I am two minutes late. I pull out my phone, I'm gonna message the guy, and all my notifications pop up ... and apparently, the dude message[d] me like twice while I [was] on the tube. I didn't receive them."

The first text from Jenny's date, sent at 5:47 p.m., was pretty casual and positive. But the second one, sent at 6:09 p.m. after Jenny didn't respond right away, said, "You pranking me, Jenny?" And when Jenny tried to text her date that she'd arrived, his picture in WhatsApp was ~magically~ no longer there. AKA he blocked her.

Jenny tried texting him a few more times on WhatsApp, and still no reply. So she decided to message on the dating app they originally met on and explained the situation. A minute after she let her date know that she was at the restaurant, he ~magically~ messaged her on WhatsApp again, and his picture reappeared.

Finally, Jenny and her date met up in person, and she called him out for blocking her, which he immediately tried to deny: "He's just like, 'Oh, no, um, my WhatsApp is really glitchy, all my friends say that. Sometimes they say that they can't see my photo for some reason."

Jenny concludes the video by saying, "After that, I was just like, what a loser." And then she hits us with the final nail in the coffin: "And he was 36 years old!"
