A TikTok creator has shared a disturbing account of what she described as her first date, arranged through Bumble when she was 18. The video from @jaellysandwich had more than 2.3 million views and over 12,000 comments at the time of writing.
The TikToker said she grew up as a Jehovah’s Witness and was not allowed to date. After leaving the religion, she downloaded dating apps and matched with a man she believed was 23 or 24 years old. The pair spent about a month talking on Discord before agreeing to meet at a Cheesecake Factory.
On the day of the date, the man asked whether a friend visiting from out of town could join them. She agreed. He then told her that he and the friend had been sexually involved during college, describing it as a one-time encounter between friends.
She decided to continue with the date. However, when the man arrived to pick her up, she found four men in the car instead of the two she expected. She said they were friends who had joined the trip to celebrate the other man’s birthday.
@jaellysandwich probably the worst first date story you’ll ever hear #storytime #fypage #firstdate #baddate #dating
Five men were present by the time they reached the restaurant
The group drove for roughly an hour to a Cheesecake Factory near the man’s home in Kennesaw, Georgia, rather than a location closer to her home in Atlanta. When they arrived, she said a fifth man climbed out of the car’s trunk, bringing the total number of men present to five.
The TikToker recalled the group discussing subjects she could not participate in. Later, after seeing her interact with a baby at a nearby table, her date told her she would be a good mother to his children.
When the check arrived, her date suggested splitting it instead of paying for her meal. The group then returned to his home, where she met his mother and sat on a couch while the men drank.
She considered taking an Uber but said the fare was too expensive because of the distance to her home. Her date instead suggested walking on a nearby trail and gave her a pocketknife in case she felt unsafe.
While they were on the trail, the man revealed a sexual “kink” involving insemination that she was unfamiliar with. She asked to return to the house. As they walked back, he kissed her without her consent, which she said was her first kiss.
After returning to the house, she called an Uber that cost roughly $50 and left without seeing the group again. She said her father later found her messages with the man, straining their relationship at the time. They have since reconciled.
The TikToker said the experience affected how comfortable she felt around men for about two years. She added that she is now in a happy relationship.
Viewers raised concerns about the date’s safety risks
Many viewers focused on the safety risks described in the video. One commenter criticized her decisions that night while expressing relief that she was safe. They wrote, “survival instincts of a fart, but i’m glad you still here girl.”
Another commenter reacted to the remark made about her potential as a mother. They wrote, “‘i love a woman with maternal instincts’ to an 18 YEAR OLD?!”
A separate commenter compared the sequence of events to a mobile game about making poor choices. They wrote, “it’s like a game of episode where you can’t afford good decisions.”
The Daily Dot was unable to independently verify the identities of the individuals involved or the specific events described beyond the creator’s account. The details reflect what @jaellysandwich shared on TikTok.
