Whether we're still going through it or not, we can all admit that the dating scene can be rough sometimes.
But there's something especially degrading about a potential partner holding something against you that you can do nothing about because of a medical condition.
TikToker Steph Taylor sat down in a huff and began to rant:
"The guy I was supposed to be on a date with right now decided to cancel our date less than an hour before it started."
"Because I told him that I couldn't drink alcohol due to a medical condition."
The TikToker had been really looking forward to the date, and it seemed like the guy had, too.
"We were texting, right before we met up, a little back-and-forth, getting excited, and he asked, 'Are you more of a cocktail girl or a beer girl?'"
"And I said, 'I'm more of a mocktail girl.'"
"And he was like, 'Oh, do you not drink?""
"And I was like, 'Actually, I can't drink due to a medical condition, but I drink mocktails, I always find something, and I do not care if you drink. You can drink as much as you want!'"
"And this man responds, 'Yeah, I don't think that's going to work for me. We should just cancel now.'"
Then when she attempted to talk to him about it, he left her on read.

Taylor was honest:
"Yeah so, dating's going great. Really love it here."

Most theorized that Taylor had dodged a red flag, potentially even a dangerous one.

But some thought it was fair for a guy not to want to date a "mocktail girl" and to save himself time.

At the end of the day, people can end a relationship or dating opportunity at any time, for any reason. But it's a little concerning when they make something such a vital part of their personality that they won't even give a person one conversation before cutting them off, especially when a medical condition is involved.
Though TikTok was divided over whether alcohol should fall under this category, they all seemed pretty certain that a better person with more aligned interests will come along.
