Florida Woman Talks About Going On A ‘Blindcation’ — And It Didn’t Go As Planned
FLORIDA — Blind dates can be awkward, but one Florida woman’s experience went viral after she revealed she accidentally signed up for something far riskier: a “blindcation.” Instead of meeting her date over dinner, she flew to Atlanta for a weekend trip — and quickly realized it was a mistake.
The Blindcation From Hell
TikTok user Kels (@whoelse561) shared her story in a five-part video series, explaining that her college friends introduced her to the man. After chatting on Skype and seeing his social media photos, she felt comfortable enough to visit.
The problems started the moment she landed. Kels said her date looked noticeably different from his online appearance, with a receding hairline and added weight. At his home, he greeted her with nine bottles of wine and what she described as “a pound” of marijuana — raising her concerns about what he expected from the weekend.
Red Flags Over Dinner
During their first night out, Kels said her date made “misogynistic microaggressions.” The evening soured further when she asked for leftovers, and he reportedly told her, “I could just order you another meal. You don’t need to take home leftovers. I’m not poor.”
When she tried to sleep on the couch afterward, he insisted they share his bed, leaving her uncomfortable and unable to sleep.
Panic, Movies, and a Quick Exit
By the next morning, Kels said she felt sick and even passed out in a restaurant bathroom. Instead of seeking medical help, her date brought her home to watch TV, later taking her to a movie where he continued making unwanted advances.
Realizing she couldn’t stay, Kels called her mother and arranged an early flight back to Florida. She cut the trip short after just one full day.
Aftermath and Viral Reaction
Once home, Kels said the man bombarded her with texts and Facebook messages — alternating between self-pity and demands for a response. Viewers of her TikTok story were stunned, with some suggesting he showed signs of anxious attachment style, a behavioral pattern linked to insecurity and fear of abandonment.
The series quickly gained traction, sparking conversations about safety, boundaries, and the risks of meeting someone for the first time on a trip.
The viral “blindcation” story has left many swearing off the idea altogether. Would you ever consider traveling for a first-time date? Share your thoughts in the comments and join the conversation at SaludaStandard-Sentinel.com.
