Man's viral post of how a waiter saved first date will have you crying real tears

First dates come with endless obstacles. What should I wear? Who should foot the bill? Why is he talking so much about his ex-girlfriend? It truly is rough out there - but every once in a while a hero swoops in and gives that first meet-up the boost it needs.

In the story we are about to tell, it's the waiter who is the hero of the hour. When a Twitter user called Tim spotted a couple in the early stages of their relationship, he listened in and overheard a young man telling his date she could have anything she wanted on the menu, price not a problem. However, when it became clear that the guy was dead set on treating the young lady, even if it broke his bank account, a waiter came to the rescue and restored everyone's faith in humanity.

Aww - I love to see young love blossoming!

Marry her

I wonder if she was texting about the insanely nosy bloke at the next table
