A woman was left in utter disbelief after discovering that a TikTok video of her first date had gone viral, amassing nearly nine million views without her knowledge.
Julia Waters was casually browsing through TikTok when, to her astonishment, she stumbled upon a video of a date she recently had. The video had unexpectedly appeared on her For You Page and had been viewed over 8.5 million times.
This is likely one of those nightmare scenarios you hope never to find yourself in, isn’t it?
The video was from a date with a woman named Cailyn, whom she had met through the dating app Bumble.
The clip shows Julia conversing with Cailyn at the Texas Roadhouse, the location they had chosen for their meet-up.
Cailyn, who had secretly recorded the video, sarcastically titled the footage: “Why are all my Bumble matches always so weird? This is embarrassing.”
Throughout the video, Julia can be seen making playful and witty remarks from across the table.
“I could get lost in your eyes…I want to travel the depths of the waters of your soul,” she expressed.
Cailyn, appearing uncomfortable, quickly interrupted to ask for the bill.
Undeterred, Julia continued, “Let’s dine and dash and run away like wild children.”
Trying again to alleviate the awkwardness, Cailyn excused herself to use the bathroom, leading Julia to quip, “The world is a restroom.”
The video ends shortly after this peculiar exchange.
While recording a date and sharing it online without consent is widely considered inappropriate, many viewers sided with Cailyn, finding Julia’s behavior off-putting.
Some speculated that Julia might have been under the influence of substances to calm her nerves.
“I would’ve cried,” one user commented.
Another suggested, “I think she took something before to help with nerves and well…this happened.”
A third added, “Oh wow, I’m sorry. That must’ve been so uncomfortable for you, she was definitely rolling. Her pupils were huge.”
However, the saga didn’t end there. Julia later responded by posting her own TikTok after seeing the viral video on her feed.
@babeochka #stitch with @cailyn 🕷️ didnt expect to see myself on my fyp today !!
With a mix of surprise and humor, she captioned her reaction video: “Didn’t expect to see myself on my For You Page today,” accompanied by a pouting and chuckling expression.
While some viewers criticized her, others showed empathy and support in the comments.
One person praised, “I genuinely LOVE your witty behaviour and randomness! Stay true to yourself. Everyone else just wouldn’t understand.”
Another supporter remarked, “A legend, truly. Genuinely hope you are doing well though.”
