A woman has candidly revealed the details of her nightmare Hinge date after her car wouldn’t start and her potential lover left her to foot the dinner bill.
Annie Goodwin, from Seattle, Washington, got to work TikTok to summarize the experience of her ‘first date of 2024’.
She said the planned meeting was not a success from the start in what she described as a “horror story.”

Annie Goodwin, from Seattle, Washington, took to TikTok to recap the experience of her “first date of 2024,” which she described as a “horror story”
In the clip, she turned the camera around to show her food, drinks and the empty chair next to her as she explained that her date had left her sitting alone
In the clip, which has been viewed nearly a million times, Annie spoke directly to the camera from her car ahead of the date.
She said, ‘I have a date tonight… and I was supposed to meet him at the restaurant a minute ago.
“I get to my car and my car won’t start so I texted him and he said he could come pick me up.
“I normally don’t let men pick me up, but I need someone to help me start my car.”
A while later, the content creator filmed himself from the bustling restaurant.
She turned the camera around to show her food, drinks and the empty chair next to her and explained that he had left her sitting alone.
“He went to the bathroom and never came back,” the overlapping text read.
When she got home, Annie gave an update: “As you just saw, the man left me.
Annie later summed up the situation, but emphasized that she was most furious that he had left her ‘stranded’.
‘He picked me up all the way, drove me all the way to the bar and then ordered a drink. He drank the whole drink, went to the toilet and never came back.”
She slapped her palms against her face in disbelief and let out a small laugh.
Annie summed up the situation, but emphasized that she was very angry that he had left her ‘stranded’.
“He damn well let me know I was stranded because my car wouldn’t start, so he picked me up. He knew I was stranded.”
She explained that she was “already blocked from everything,” which was “expected.”
Addison concluded, “So that was my very first date of 2024 and it will be my last.
“Can we also talk about him being a therapist? He’s a therapist,” as she rolled her eyes.

Annie replied, “You’re right. I appreciate the positivity!! Letting go of the energy.’
