My date ghosted me on vacation - people say there's a serious red flag I missed #FridayFeeling

A singleton was left horrified when her date seemingly bailed on her mid vacation.

Things got weirder when she realized he likely made his escape right in front of her.


A hopeful dater who goes by @chanazandchill on TikTok recounted exactly how the ghosting went down in a video.

"This guy flew me down to Miami for a second date vacation thing and I'm pretty sure he ghosted me while we were here.
 
"Like he left," she began, adding that he had driven down from Tampa to Miami to meet her for the weekend.

Although she admitted to sounding "naive," she said she didn't think she had done anything to cause his early departure.

But one viewer said there was an obvious red flag she missed at the start of the date.

Changing his name to protect his privacy, she called him Michael.

"So yesterday Michael was like, 'I'm going to get lunch with my sister really quickly. I haven't seen her in two years, but I'll be back by noon.'

"I was like, 'Ok cool just don't forget we have these hard-to-get lunch reservations at 1:30 pm.'"

That's when a viewer in the comments pointed out the red flag: "When he said he was going to lunch, knowing he had lunch reservations. I would have spazzed out."

But, the hopeful woman kept calm.
After he reassured her that he'd be back on time, she headed to the pool to enjoy her vacation.

Then came 1:10 pm and still no sign of him.
 
She texted and got no reply.

At 1:20 pm, she sent him another text, which she revealed in the follow-up video: "This is so disrespectful. You said you would be back at noon, aka two hours ago and now you're MIA while we have plans."

He replied to her text saying he knew he was in the wrong, but that he had just received some "devastating news."

The woman said because she is a very trusting person, she believed him.
"But it gets worse."

She went up to her room and housekeeping was there, cleaning the bathroom and making the bed.
Once they left, she took a nap.
