A woman named Samara said in a series of TikTok videos that a man she met on Hinge took her to dinner in Toronto and ordered only two small dishes before claiming he was too full for more food. She stated that he later asked her to buy his matcha ice cream and that she paid for it. Samara, who posts under the account @samraoncamera, described the night as one of her worst dates and told viewers to act on early warning signs.
The first TikTok video, captioned “Part 1 of my date with a stingy man,” had reached 1.2 million views. Samara said the man was 6 feet 5 inches tall with a good build and worked in tech sales. She explained that they had texted, sent voice notes, and spoken on the phone many times before he asked her out, and that he had a nice voice on the calls.
