A TikTok user named Serg, known online as @attaserg, shared a video about a disastrous first date. He met a young woman through a dating app called Bumble and arranged to meet her at a bowling alley, only to conclude afterward that the encounter had been a serious error. The post has gathered 2.1 million views and more than 2,000 likes.
Serg made two errors in his dating story. The first came from choosing to meet a young woman through Bumble. The second error involved moving too quickly to arrange a bowling date, basing his decision entirely on her appearance rather than spending time getting to know her. When they finally met face to face, Serg discovered he had been catfished — she appeared far more attractive in her online profile than she did in reality.
Icebreaker Questions That Raised Red Flags
Serg attempted to loosen things up during the trip to the bowling alley by asking plain questions. He inquired whether she was still in school, and she answered, “Nah, I don’t believe in school.” After that, he asked about work, and she responded, “I had a job, but I didn’t like it so I just don’t really feel like working right now.”
Serg’s final question concerned her career aspirations, and she replied that she wanted to be a tattoo artist, though she wasn’t certain she would pursue it since it sounded too difficult. Taken together, those answers gave him reason to worry.
“I don’t believe in school.”
Bowling and Teenagers Turned Revolting
Serg said his date’s conduct turned revolting when they arrived at the bowling alley. A group of teenagers were making noise while they bowled, and he didn’t mind because they were just being teenagers. But she used a homophobic slur to describe them instead. Serg said he was at a loss for words after that and decided to take her home.
Music, Metal, and a Pentagram Cover
Serg had the stereo going in the car on the way back when she requested permission to put on a song. He gave his consent, and she went ahead and played a hardcore metal track featuring a pentagram on its cover. The song clearly upset him. When she inquired how he reacted to the track, he responded, “It’s eh . . . different.”.
Bathroom Stop and Squat Behind a Pillar
She told him she needed to use the restroom after finishing her meal. Serg said he was about to drive her home, so she could either hold it until then or use the bathroom at the fast-food place where they had eaten. She refused both choices, got out of his car, walked a short distance away, and squatted down behind a pillar. Serg was left speechless and truly stunned by her actions.
She Wanted to Meet Again
After the date came to an end, she told Serg that she had enjoyed herself and hoped they could get together again. He responded that he would send her a message, though he had no real plan to actually do it.
What Viewers Thought
Many people, both men and women, felt that she was acting this way to upset him on purpose. A commenter remarked, “She had to have been rage-baiting.”
One individual described it as though she were behaving wildly until she requested to use the restroom. That person wrote, “I thought maybe she was doing this on purpose but the second you mentioned she popped a squat… she’s being for real.”
The Story’s Takeaway
The date may have been real, or it could have been a deliberate provocation aimed at Serg — either way, his account left viewers with plenty to talk about. He documented the whole experience on TikTok, posting it at @attaserg.
The Daily Dot could not confirm the events detailed in Serg’s video, which are drawn from his own account of the date.
The video’s popularity suggests people enjoy hearing about other people’s focus on dating disasters. Still, there’s a practical lesson to take away from it. Serg ended the date early at the bowling alley after she used the slur, and he cut it even shorter in the car. Each time he recognized a situation he wanted no part of and made the choice to leave.
The Daily Dot’s note about verification is worth keeping in mind. The video is based on Serg’s account, and we should treat it as that — his version of events.
