The world of online dating can be a nightmare, but folks have developed some strategies for dealing with common challenges.
Broadcasting location on your phone during the date so your friends can know where you are, employing Sherlock-ian levels of sleuthing before the date itself, and using clues at the person's home to see if they might already be in a relationship.
The latter situation is what TikToker @quesocorpio found herself in when she used the bathroom at a Hinge date's place, and realized that someone with regular access to that bathroom was using a lot of products that hetero men are unlikely to possess, especially all at the same time.
She took a video and asked TikTok: Does he already have a girlfriend? Might he be gay? She'd want to know, either way, before continuing with her date.
See for yourself:
Many people agreed with her assessment that there was another woman in the picture.

Folks called out particular items that made them suspicious, including the Dyson Airwrap, a $600 hair styling tool.

Others focused on smaller items.

But what put some people over the top was the showerhead.

People had advice about what she should do next, starting with "get out of there."

Others said she should find a way to alert the presumptive owner of the products that she'd been there.

There were some pretty creative solutions.

And some found the video inspirational in unexpected ways.

TikTok has a way of bringing people together, so who knows if this video will make its way to whoever owns all of the products.
