I ran into my date when I was not looking great – I promise I’m hot really
WHILE we all want to look our best when bumping into a guy we’re into, one woman said that wasn’t the case for her.
She couldn’t help but laugh at her appearance afterwards.
Maggie Voss (@voss_maggie) is a singleton in New York who knows all too well how tricky the dating scene can be for 20-somethings.
Recently, she experienced what people are calling their “top fear.”
In the video, she filmed herself standing in the city streets in broad daylight.
“I just ran into the person that I’m supposed to go on a date with later this week,” she said.
Stepping away from the camera to reveal her full outfit, she held a straight face of disappointment.
While for the date she likely planned on wearing makeup and a cute dress – as she usually does when she goes out – that wasn’t the case on this fateful day.
The young brunette was wearing a shapeless, worn out tie dye T-shirt, baggy basketball shorts, and had a simple fanny pack strewn across her chest.
Maggie, who is a runner and currently injured, was also hobbling on her crutches.
To make matters worse, she had no makeup on and her hair was pulled back in a messy pony.
Luckily, she found humor in the unfortunate situation, captioning the clip: “I’m hot I promise #datinginyour20s.”
Viewers couldn’t hold back their laughter and feelings of cringe in the comments.
“This is why I only go out with a cap and sunglasses. No, you don’t see me. Keep walking,” one person wrote.
“What a valuable lesson to all you young people out there lol,” added another.
“This is what our mothers warned us about!” a third voiced, with someone else saying: “This is a top fear of mine.”
A fourth said they have housing proximity rules for suitors: “This is why you gotta date people a minimum of 20 blocks away.”
And a fifth said it would all work out: “The outfit is giving Adam Sandler but you’re gorgeous so you’ll be alright.”
