I think I’m going to be taking a break from dating. I just can’t do this anymore.

The TikTok creator said that she walked up to the man she had gone on a date with, after which he gave her a hug. After giving the woman a hug, the man asked her, “Are you hungry? Let’s go inside.” The woman then said that they went inside.

Later, the creator revealed that the man asked her if they could step out for a minute. After they stepped back outside, the man said, “I’m not trying to offend you, but I’m just not feeling it.” The woman then revealed that she walked to her car and came back home. She concluded by saying, “Dating when you’re fat sucks.”

The comments section was filled with several reactions. One commenter wrote, "You can be the juiciest damn peach in the bowl, and there's still gonna be someone who doesn't like peaches. It's not you, it's him. Someone soon will love your kind of fruit.” Another commenter wrote, “Sounds like he saw someone in the restaurant who knows him and his wife.” The third commenter wrote, “Unpopular opinion but this guy did not waste your time!!!! and didn't lead you on.”
