TikTok users are in shock after a woman walked out on a date after the man she was with opted not to spend $3 on extra cheese on his burger... which seems pretty harsh.

Choosing between love and cheese seems like an impossible choice that nobody should ever have to make, and luckily most of us will never have to.

Dating can be incredibly tough, especially with the emergence of dating apps. Trying to find someone you genuinely click with over messages before finally meeting in person can be daunting.

Those who are lucky enough to make it past the talking stage often opt to go out for a meal with their date, though few will expect to be dumped over a trivial matter such as extra cheese.

Well, one woman did exactly this and documented it on TikTok. Going by the name of Dafna, she revealed that she bailed on her date… because of cheese.

Dafna said: "So we schedule to go to dinner, we’re sitting at the restaurant and he seems very nice. Not a catfish. Things are going well, and the waitress comes over, she wants to take our order."

She revealed that she decided to order the branzino and her date opted for the burger, and when questioned as to whether he wanted cheese on the burger he asked if it was going to cost extra.

The waitress informed him that cheese is $3 extra and he opted against having some on this occasion. Seems fairly harmless right? Apparently not for Dafna.

"I’m like what the actual f***? I’m like okay, I’m hungry I’m gonna get my branzino and see what happens," Dafna continued.

"And he’s like, oh my God, you have to pay extra for everything these days, and I’m like, yeah. It’s New York City."

Dafna finished her meal before heading to the waitress and taking care of the bill. She left the restaurant without telling her date before texting him: "The check is taken care of, you should have gotten the cheese."

Safe to say, many were not very understanding of what Dafna had done, with one person commenting: "You should take a break from dating and reflect on this situation. I don't think this was a ghoastable [sic] offense."

A second added: This is crazy to me he didn’t complain about the branzino, he simply didn’t feel like paying extra for cheese on his burger."

A third said: "I will defend the way women act all day long but some people are just insane - $3 for cheese is a joke so what you did was horrible I’m sorry."

Dafna has since doubled down in follow-up videos, asking "the ladies of New York" to support her as the man showed that he was not "financially stable."

Echoing the sentiments of many of the comments - Justice for cheese man.
