IN a date gone awry, one woman’s date bit off more than he can chew.
He asked her to cut his own food for him into bite-size pieces.
Connecticut singleton Jenna Hernandez, 35, gave online dating a try and returned with quite a story to tell.
She matched with a man on a dating app and after speaking for a few days they exchanged numbers and agreed to meet.
The pair met up at a steakhouse because Hernandez’s date said it was one of his favorite places to go to.
She soon discovered the reason why he enjoyed it so much.
After the pair started eating, Hernandez discovered that her date was not allowed to use knives because his mother would not allow it.
She couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
The mystery man asked if she would help cut up his steak as his mom does not let him use knives.
“I felt shocked and baffled that this happened to me because as a grown adult, I would have expected you to cut your own food,” she said.
She explained how she was left baffled and confused by the situation.
Hernandez discovered that her date, who was in his 30s, worked in education and lived with his mother, but wouldn’t use knives because his mom “didn’t want him to get hurt.”
As the evening progressed, Hernandez sat in silence, feeling as if she was in some surreal scene from a bizarre comedy.
Her story caused a stir online after she opened up about the date in a now-viral video on TikTok.
She used the popular “put a finger down” social media trend to explain the awkward encounter.
After detailing her horrible date, she put down her thumb for the camera.
Hernandez also shared a part two to the saga, addressing common questions for viewers.
Several TikTokers rushed to the comments sections of both videos to inquire about the date or give their two cents.
“I need to know how old he is, because what? I seriously thought you were going to pan over to your nephew. What is this world coming to,” one wrote.
“I really need to know why he can’t use knives,” another added. “A background check is truly needed.”
“So his mom lets him use a vehicle, but knives are too much?” said a third.
“I’m surprised mom didn’t chaperone the date lol,” yet another added.
“He was mad you aren’t taking the role of his mother,” one more said.
