Dating during the pandemic is tough stuff.

How does one kindle something with a crush when we have to stay socially distant, wear masks that cover most of our faces, avoid touching, and remain outdoors during the winter months? It may not even seem worth the trouble for some people.

But one TikToker found a workaround, and the internet is going wild about it.

Wendy Adriaens, of Belgium, rehabilitates ostriches on her farm and often posts videos of her sill, long-necked friends on her TikTok page. As the self-dubbed "Ostrich Whisperer," Adriaens has amassed dozens of the clips, pulling in thousands of views for each.

But Adriaen's recent video showed her on an outdoor date with an ostrich. As the clip showed, she laid out a blanket, sat down with her feathery companion, and even shared a long hug--well, at least a neck rubbing.

Oh, and the whole clip had the theme music from Braveheart playing in the background, which turned out to be a remarkably romantic choice.

The clip, seen by millions, launched Adriaen's TikTok presence from niche animal content into the universal realm of viral internet attention, Daily Dot reported.

Because Adriaens could only speak from her own personal experience, we'll never truly know just how romantic that date was for the ostrich.

At least plenty of people watching the clip know exactly how they felt—brightened by some adorable love.

Trump Hit With Blistering Factcheck After Making Patently False Claim About Prices Going 'Way Down'

President Donald Trump was swiftly fact-checked by CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale after he claimed to members of the press that "almost every price has come way down" following Joe Biden's presidency.

Earlier in the day, Trump bragged to reporters that the United States has the "best poverty," sparking immediate criticism. He continued to lie later, even as inflation remains above the level recorded when Biden left office, economic growth has slowed, and the cost of filling a gas tank has surged roughly 50% since the war against Iran began.

President Donald Trump and the White House are facing criticism after Fox aired a new taxpayer-funded campaign ad that was "paid for by the U.S. government" several times over the weekend.

The black-and-white ad uses slowed footage of Trump walking through a hallway, accompanied by his voiceover pledging that "this is the final battle."
