Aight y’all… let me tell you something. I done been through some wild dating situations, but THIS Uber ride? This was straight-up chaos on four wheels. I was on my way to see a new woman, minding my business, trying to keep my energy right… and the minute this dude pulled up, I knew the devil was working overtime.

He loud.
He nosy.

He blasting music like he the official DJ of the end times.
AND he acting like he my long-lost cousin.
Bruh… I knew right then the night wasn’t gon’ be normal.
But the END of this story?
Gon’ have you yelling “IKYFL!” right along with me.

Tap in for:
🔥 The most chaotic Uber ride ever
😂 Ignorant comedy from beginning to end
😳 A plot twist that still got me confused
🤦🏾‍♂️ Grown-man dating going WAY left

If this one had you hollering “Tom… I KNOW you lyin’,” go ahead and:

Aight y’all… buckle up, because THIS one right here? Man listen… this date had me questioning my sanity, my choices, AND my spirit. 🤦🏾‍♂️

In today’s Dating Story Time, I break down the wild night I spent with a woman who started off sweet, charming, and cool… and by the end of the night? I was praying to make it home alive. 😂

We talk attitude, misunderstanding, drama, miscommunication, and how a calm dinner turned into a whole Lifetime movie. Was she really an “angry Black woman”… or was I the one who missed every red flag like a blind referee?

Get ready for:
🔥 High drama
😂 Ignorant comedy
😳 Uncomfortable moments
🍷 A date that went ALL the way left
🧠 And some real talk about dating as grown folks

If you laughed, screamed at your screen, or said “Tom… boy, WHY?” — make sure you:

Y’all… I can’t make this up 😩. I was just tryna mind my business and catch a flight when I got caught between an old Black man flyin’ for the first time… and a loud, over-the-top woman who—let’s just say—had the whole plane confused 👀.
From the gate to the window seat, the tension was wild, the shade was strategic, and your boy almost got kicked off the plane just for sittin' in the MIDDLE of the madness. 😭
This is the real story of “The Old Man and The Lady-ish”… and this is only PART ONE.
