A woman has taken to social media to share a humiliating text sent to her by a date accidentally - just moments after they met for the first time.
TikTok user Kersten Hovis (@kersten.hovis) was waiting for her date to pick her up for the first time, but instead of sweet talk and charm in the buildup, she received an accidental message meant for a friend commenting on her body and apparent wealth.
After Kersten kindly directed him to her house when he arrived, she was stunned when she got into his car and the next message read: “Headed that way she’s bigger than I thought but holy s**t her family is loaded.”
Making light of the horrendously awkward situation, Kersten replied to him jokingly by writing: “I'll pray for ya bud.”
Check out Hovis's first video below:As you can imagine, the date didn’t last long when Kersten confronted him.
After posting a short screenshot of the schoolboy error conversation, in a further video she explained: “I looked at him and I was like, 'You didn't mean to send that, did you?
“I was like, 'Well you can just turn this car right back around'. And that's what he did.”
But Kersten didn’t let him get away that easily without a few strong words of her own. “I just told him how insecure he was and how shallow he was, and I knew that's why he was still single,” she said.
“So we sat in awkward silence for the ten-minute ride home.”
Since sharing her first-date disaster, Kersten's video has amassed more than six million viewers and she has rightly been showered with support from her 13,000 followers.
"Babe you really dodged a bullet," one user wrote.
"You're a queen and will find better,” added another.
While many more users said it was “his loss,” Kersten’s confidence has not been shaken by the incident.
Watch her empowering follow-up video below:"I'm 5ft 9, I don't expect myself to be a twig,” she continued. “I have some thighs, it's okay, I love that about myself.
“I'm beautiful and your opinion doesn't change my opinion of myself. If anything, it just lets me know what I deserve even more.”
And Kersten’s highlighting of the situation has seen more female users share relatable experiences.
“I had this same thing happen to me,” a user said. “You are absolutely beautiful, and I love that you love yourself because we are queens and deserve the BEST!!!”
