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!

Bless this guy

I don't think it was the lighting

That eye contact though

He's trying so hard!

I would have been standing with you, Tim

Marry her

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

Cheers indeed!

I'm surprised this guy didn't get out the popcorn

This waiter is my hero!

Like seriously, what a guy!

Real tears

It's like a real-life rom-com

Sometimes, life is lovely
