A man has gone viral on TikTok after sharing the unusual first date he took a woman on after meeting her on Tinder
First dates can be make-or-break, with initial impressions often crucial, especially when meeting someone from a dating app for the first time. Many people try to keep their quirks hidden while attempting to impress their date.
However, one man took a different approach. Jawn Stockton shared a video on TikTok, filmed by his date, of their unusual first date at a pig race. The clip, which has gone viral with millions of views, shows Jawn enthusiastically cheering on the pigs as they run around the track.
His date is seen laughing and amused by the outing, reports the Manchester Evening News. The video is captioned: “This guy from Tinder took me to gamble on pig races for our first date. He won $50 and used the money to take me out to eat.”
While some might find the date choice odd, many were charmed by the idea. One commenter said: “This actually looks fun as a first date. Nothing too serious, excitement, pigs, food. 5 star date.”
Others praised Jawn’s authenticity, with one saying: “He’s a keeper.” Another commented: “Honestly. Keep him. Lots of ups and downs but he showed you the real him on the first date. That’s more than most.” A fourth joked: “That ain’t a guy from tinder, that’s your husband.”
After the pig races, thousands were eager to find out if Jawn’s first date was a success and whether the pair were still an item. In a follow-up video, Jawn shared that, unfortunately, they didn’t make it as a couple.
He explained that although “the pigs worked” in sparking a fun evening, they found themselves at “two different stages” in life and parted on amicable terms. He shared: “She was a really nice girl and the few times we spent together were actually filled with great conversations and laughs, but in the end it just didn’t work out being at two different stages in our lives.
“I know she will always remember the guy that took her to a pig race and made himself look crazy for screaming at farm animals just to make her laugh. I have much respect for her and know she has a bright future.”
He concluded with a hopeful note: “I’m sure our paths will cross again someday. If not, good luck with everything in your future.”
Many people commended Jawn for being so open about the situation. Alfredo said: “This is so real of you to post.” Encar added: “That’s really sweet, brother. Good luck to you.”
A third put: “Real brother and glad u taking it ok tho.” Hamza commented: “Very wise and mature caption good on you bro.” Someone else said: “The caption made me teary eyed.”
