A Chicago man who goes by @christiancooks99 on TikTok shared a video, claiming his first date with a woman he matched with on Hinge took an unexpected turn when she asked him to pay for her pedicure before the date had even started. The video has since gained attention online, with viewers weighing in on whether his response was justified.
According to Christian, the woman, whom he refers to as “Lady” in the video, matched with him on Hinge and sent him the first message. He said she wrote, “I checked all your boxes,” explaining she meant she had her own place and no kids, which were the two non-negotiables he had listed on his profile. The two reportedly talked for about a week before he asked her out.
