A New York City woman’s first date took an unexpected turn when her companion allegedly revealed unusual personal habits and made a request that left her questioning the evening.<\/p>\n

Victoria Vega, who posts on TikTok as @itsvictoriavega, recounted the encounter at a bar in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, describing several uncomfortable moments.<\/p>\n

Her video attracted thousands of reactions, with viewers debating the man’s behavior and whether she should have left earlier.<\/p>\n

Vega began her account by saying, “I just had the worst first date of my life.”<\/p>\n

According to her, the man appeared to be under the influence when he arrived and barely spoke during their meeting.<\/p>\n

When he eventually opened up, Vega learned about personal habits she found unusual.<\/p>\n

She said he admitted to urinating in the sink and not using shampoo or conditioner to wash his hair.<\/p>\n

The situation became more awkward when Vega noticed him repeatedly staring at a group of women seated nearby while she attempted to hold a conversation.<\/p>\n

She eventually asked him directly whether he was high or interested in her.<\/p>\n

Vega said she never expected to have to ask those questions during a first date, The Daily Dot<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

The encounter became particularly uncomfortable after the pair had each had a drink. Vega finished hers, and they decided to get pizza.<\/p>\n

Later that evening, the man allegedly tilted his head toward her and asked her to smell his hair, bringing it close to her face.<\/p>\n

Afterward, she left the date and went to a pizzeria, apparently seeking to recover from the unpleasant experience.<\/p>\n

Her caption expressed disbelief at how the evening had unfolded. The video had approximately 87,200 likes and views, according to the report.<\/p>\n

It also drew more than 1,400 comments from viewers responding to her account.<\/p>\n

Commenters expressed sympathy for Vega and criticized the man’s alleged conduct.<\/p>\n

Others complimented her appearance, suggesting that her date had missed an opportunity. Some viewers questioned why she had stayed as long as she did.<\/p>\n

One commenter encouraged women to leave as soon as they recognize an uncomfortable situation, writing, “Let’s normalize leaving the second you realize.”<\/p>\n

Other reactions took a more humorous approach, comparing the man to a sitcom character, while others suggested he might have been nervous or experiencing a bad day.<\/p>\n

Several commenters also joked that pizza was an appropriate way to recover from an unsuccessful date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A New York City woman’s first date took an unexpected turn when her companion allegedly revealed unusual personal…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":372743,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-372742","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/372742","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=372742"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/372742\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/372743"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=372742"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=372742"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=372742"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
