Dating in New York city is already tough, with an overwhelming set of options against a backdrop of everybody being eternally busy and working for their careers.
But one TikToker was taken even further aback when her date asked her to make the trek to meet him for their first date during Hurricane Ida which ravaged the New York city area last Wednesday.
@cassidydangler it’s brutal out here #nyc #nycdating #hinge #bumble #firstdate #newyorkcity #dating #datingstorytime #hurricaneida #datingapp #nycdating
Cassidy Dangler, the TikToker in question, went 80 blocks in torrential rain and wind to meet this man, who still wanted to keep their date despite the inclement weather.
After the date, she said she'd rather have rescheduled.
"The date which was one single hour long in which he made me pay for myself when I trekked here in a literal hurricane—we walked outside and he said 'yeah you're right, we should've rescheduled'."
@cassidydangler y’all asked for it! #nyc #nycdating #hinge #firstdate #newyorkcity #dating #datingstorytime #hurricaneida #datingapp #datinglife #nyclife @gameofroses

She also captured some priceless footage of herself pouring water out from her boot and having the train skip her stop so she is forced to walk home from a stop up.
"No man on earth has ever made a woman this wet," she said, jokingly.

Cassidy finished off the story by saying:
"You know, it's moments like this when you really know whether you're a Sex and the City kind of New York girl or you're a Broad City kind of New York girl. Guess which one I am?"

She ended her night with a margarita on the couch, which is the only way to end the night after an egregiously, sitcom-level bad date.
After a couple follow-up videos, she identified the thing that keeps all us New Yorkers going out in figurative hurricanes to meet new people...
The desire to be a hopeless romantic.
