A woman posted a TikTok video sharing the voicemail she received from a man she blocked after the two spoke for a few days. Though the man was interested in going on a date with her, the woman said she noticed a few red flags and blocked him before the two met in person.
In her video, which received more than 400,000 views, TikTok user @dailydoseofoj22 showed the voicemail transcription on a greenscreen as she mouthed what the man said to her.
"With all due respect, I think it was a really rude thing you did just blocking me on everything," the man said. "I guess I'm just not worthy to meet for a date or something like that?"
@dailydoseofoj22 A very sweet message I received from a male this morning who I’ve never met #greenscreenvideo #fyp #boostofhope #GEICOGiveHappy #EveryKiss #FFXmasSwi

He continued and said @dailydoseofoj22 could have told him she was not interested in meeting with him for a date and he would have understood.
"But whatever. Trust me, it's your loss," he said. "I'll just re-stock up and find someone else, so that won't be that hard but it's your loss. I think you would need to date me more than I would need to date you."
@dailydoseofoj told Newsweek she has never been spoken to that way and was shocked.
Viewers were stunned by the message as well.
"'With all due respect,' *proceeds to become completely unhinged,*" Mnda commented.
Kaitlin Kubly wrote she did not believe he would have understood if @dailydoseofoj22 told him she was not interested in going on a date with him.
"The red flags reveal themselves. Sorry you had to deal with that!" wrote Gelynda Johnson.
In a follow-up video, @dailydoseofoj22 explained he used to work close to her place of work, but the two never crossed paths. One day, his profile came up under the "People You May Know" section on Facebook and she added him.
They began chatting and it wasn't long before he called her "beautiful" and asked if she wanted to go out on a date.
As time went on, @dailydoseofoj22 noticed she did not develop a connection with the man.
One day, he asked if she wanted to see him before work, but she became too busy to drop by.
He later responded to a social media story she posted and sarcastically wrote, "Yeah too busy to come see me, right?"
"I don't like that," she said in her video. "That, in itself, I was like ew. So, I was feeling a little spicy and immediately blocked him on everything."

@dailydoseofoj22 wrote he was also "snippy" when she told him earlier that she may not be able to go on their date.
The next morning, she said she received a phone call from a number she did not recognize, and the person calling her was yelling at her. She realized it was the man she blocked and hung up.
"He calls me immediately back from his place of work and leaves a voicemail, and that's the voicemail," she said.
@dailydoseofoj22 said she then blocked that number, telling Newsweek she did not think twice about doing so.
"We talked for a few days and I just wasn't vibing with him," she said. "I could've said that I didn't want to go on a date, but then this is clearly the response I would've gotten, probably something worse, actually."
She said open communication is important in any healthy relationship, but after just a few days of texting, and not ever meeting, @dailydoseofoj said she did not feel the need to communicate with this man.
"When he called me out for not coming to see him at work was my final red flag," she told Newsweek. "For obvious reasons, I'm really glad I did not give him any explanation."
Commenters commended her for listening to her intuition and avoiding a potentially problematic situation.
"When you feel the vibe is off so you step back, and he just showers you in red flags proving your gut right," TikTok user Carley commented.
Other TikTok users have taken to the app to share their own dating stories.
Newsweek previously reported that a woman posted a video to TikTok showing a text message she received from a man she was meant to go on a date with that was intended to go to his friend.
In that message, he wrote she was nice but was "blah."
The woman texted him and canceled the date, but he did not respond.
