A woman from Charleston, South Carolina, describes a weird encounter with a medical student who arrived high to pick her up. When she blocks his number, she realizes she has left something crucial with him.
In a video with over 220,000 views, TikTok user Mikayla Capps (@mikaylacapps) claims she matched with a man named Todd two years ago, who told her he was a plastic surgery resident. In the caption, she clarifies that she later discovered he was not a resident, but rather a medical student.
“He was six feet five and gorgeous. I will bite. “I’m hooked, line, and sinker,” she admits.
Capps routinely chronicles her experiences going on dates with men in Charleston on her TikTok page, referring to the dating environment as a “hellscape” in the series.
Todd arrives at her home 30 minutes late for their first date and immediately informs her that he took an edible before leaving.
“He said, ‘You’re in for a treat. “This is my first edible date,” she says, giggling. “I said, ‘I’m not high.’ ‘I know, but I am.'”
Capps notices her date driving far below the speed limit, obviously under the influence.
“He’s driving so slow I’m like, ‘God bless it, I could walk faster,'” Capps says. They finally make it to the pub for their date, and the scenario only gets worse from there.
What happened during her disastrous Charleston date?
When they get to the pub, she goes to the bathroom before ordering a drink. However, when she exits, she notices her date asleep at the bar.
“I don’t even bother to wake him up. “I’m sitting there chatting with the bartender,” she says. “All of a sudden, Todd rises from the dead and says, ‘You’re talking too much to the bartender.'”
Capps claps back, asking Todd why he isn’t speaking to her. He replies: “I’ll start talking to you when you say something I give a [expletive] about.”
Todde takes out his phone and attempts to draft an email despite being very intoxicated.
“He’s too high to do it. So he’s saying, “Come on, Todd.” Come on, Todd. “You can do it,” she says, simulating her date smacking himself on the forehead.
The bartender offers to get her an Uber, and she accepts. Todd goes to the bathroom and returns to inform Capps that he took a sleeping tablet.
“So, obviously, I leave,” she explains. “And I leave my [expletive] purse there.”
Despite blocking Todd and telling him she didn’t want to see him again, she has to unblock him to ask whether he has her purse and wallet. When she goes to pick it up the next day, he invites her to a second date.
“You’re kidding,” she replies. “I never saw him again.”
How did the audience react to her story?
Other women in the Charleston region surprise Capps by telling her that their stories are all too similar, and that they feel they went on dates with the same Todd.
“The fact that I had also been on a date with Todd. “I hope he’s also gotten help,” one woman says. Capps replies, “HAHA, shut up. “He is the WORST.”
Another says, “He told me I could use a nose job.”
“I went on a date with this guy too and IM TRAUMATIZED,” an additional individual claims.
One woman who believes she had a date with the same Todd claims he moved out of state.
Some commenters are outraged that Todd is a medical student and urge that he seek treatment for his substance abuse before taking responsible for the medical care of others.
“The idea that man is responsible for anyone’s medical care is terrifying,” one commentator writes.
“Todd does not need to be a physician,” another writes. Capps says, “And he won’t be!” I believe he was either booted out or dropped out.
