Woman left mortified after 'cruel' text from her date meant for someone else

Going through dating disasters is often an obstacle on the way to finding a perfect partner - but some of us are luckier than others.

One TikToker has shared her experience after going to meet a man for a date.

In the clip, @kersten.hovis shows a series of text messages from the gentleman known simply as ‘Seth’.

It appears to be a perfectly normal conversation of someone who has lost their bearings on the way to pick up his date, reports the Mirror.

The woman took to TikTok to share the 'cruel' text message (@kersten.hovis/TikTok)

“I think I’m here”, he says - to which his date makes confirmation that she can see him.

But she was left heartbroken after receiving a ‘cruel’ text message that was quite clearly meant for someone else.

He said: "Headed that way, she's bigger than I thought but holy **** her family is loaded."

Ouch. What a charmer.

The woman furiously blasted back: "I'll pray for ya bud."

In the comments, she explained that they were on their way to eat with another couple when she received the message by accident.

And she said they ended up spending less than 20 minutes together in total.

The video has been viewed more than one million times since being uploaded yesterday.

Thousands of viewers have left comments of support and the clip has been liked more than 165,000 times.

In the caption of the video, the woman quipped: "Reality of dating in 2020."

Lots of viewers tried to comfort the woman, with one commenting: "Thank God you found out his character immediately and not a year down the road."

Another joked: "God was watching out for you lol bye boy!"

A third added: "Oof. I know his soul left his body when you checked him."

A fourth agreed, adding: "This makes me rage. But also the fact that you responded so gracefully?

"You're a queen and you will find better."
