A SINGLE mom from Rochester, New York is very concerned about only spending her time with those who matter, so when she planned a weekend away with a man she had met on a dating app, she thought they genuinely had a good chance at ending up together.
That was until he completely disrespected her by ignoring her at his work’s holiday party – and that’s not even the worst part of it all.
The woman, Jes Lyn, a single mom and business coach, recalled her unpleasant dating experience via a series of videos on TikTok.
In the first of four videos, Jes explained she had her hopes up for this guy, as he texted her every day when she was sick with Covid-19 and felt like they had connected through several deep conversations.
Plus, when it was finally time to meet in person, everything went smoothly at first.
The man drove an hour to see Jes in Rochester on a Friday night, and then took her back to his place to spend the weekend together, including going to his office’s work party.
They spent Saturday preparing for the party, as it was the man's own business and he was therefore in charge of the whole shindig.
“I know not a lot of girls might be into that, but for me, also being an entrepreneur, like if you are letting me be involved with the parts of your business, like to me that’s a big deal,” Jes gushed.

As the party approached, Jes asked her date what she should introduce herself as, since dating seemed to be a serious thing for both of them and she wanted to make sure they were on the same page.
He answered that he did not care what she chose to introduce herself as, which was fine to her.
“He tells me then that one of the people that’s gonna be there he has a past with,” Jes added in the second video in her series.
She also did not mind this, as she figured he would eventually meet people from her past as well.
While Jes did not think she had any reason to worry, she was quickly given many reasons to rethink her relationship with the man once they arrived at the party.
“We walk in, we walk up to his dad, I am standing right next to him, and he proceeds to talk to his dad and not even acknowledge that I’m there and walk away,” Jes claimed, noting that she then took it upon herself to introduce herself to her date’s father, who was not interested in getting to know her.
Then, Jes recalled an awkward interaction with one of her date's female employees.
“He’s standing next to me and talking to her for like a minute and a half, she’s looking at me like I have seven eyes … and I’m like: ‘Hi, I’m Jess.’”
“And he doesn't proceed to say anything.”
Jes then said she stood in shock as her date and the female colleague walked off together, leaving her completely alone in a room full of strangers.
Jes explained in a third video that she could feel awkward energy in the room throughout the night and being an empath, understood that people were not only confused as to why she was there, but felt “sorry” for her.
However, she decided to make the best of the situation and made friends with a random girl as her date was missing in action.
Once the entire party was finished and everyone from the gathering had left, Jes’ date finally came back and complimented her by calling her a “trooper.”
While Jes purposely did not mindlessly react to her date’s comments about the night, she made it very clear that she was super unimpressed in an attempt to “communicate like a big girl.”
Jes recalled telling him she was “very caught off guard” and had “never felt more disrespected” in her whole life.
Her date was immediately apologetic and tried to make things right, but Jes said she was no longer interested in spending time with him and had him drive her home.
To make it worse, in her fourth and final video, Jes claimed her date told her the silence was awkward in the car ride home, to which she responded: “How about we multiply this by 40 plus people in the room and then you can have even an ounce of understanding of how uncomfortable I was tonight.”
Jes reasoned in her video that the failed date could serve as a “learning experience” for both parties involved.
She also claimed she declined another attempt by her date to make things right the following morning but said she doesn’t think he’s a bad guy.
“When I was 27, I had to completely rebuild my life when I became a single mom and I created a very successful business on my own, came back from a lot of really difficult s**t, like I built me, I created me,” Jes said.
“I will be damned if someone walks in anywhere and acts like they’re ashamed of me.
“To me, basic human decency is always number one, and treating me with respect and making me feel like I am your queen in the room.”
While Jes didn’t find her king, she certainly had a reinforcing lesson on her self-worth.
The same seemingly happened for another woman who recalled her offensive date in a video shared to TikTok.
She said she never saw a guy again after he took her around the mall showing her outfits he prefers women wear around him.
Meanwhile, another woman said she ditched her date once she realized he brought another girl to the same party he invited her to.
