Woman asks cute guy out on flight

TikToker @nataliebonbon went viral for 'shooting her shot' on a plane with a cute stranger in front of her—and then gave a heartwarming update after going on a date with him.

We never really know when opportunities are going to come knocking, whether it's a chance to try something new, to pursue a new job opportunity, or even to go out on an adorable first date.

TikToker @nataliebonbon was on a flight overseas and noticed a "cute guy" sitting in the window seat in the row in front of her.


The TikToker decided to "shoot her shot" when the plane prepared for landing by taking out a Southwest Airlines napkin and wrote on it:

"If you're single and interested, text me sometime!"

She then added a smiling face, her phone number, and her name.

In a TikTok video, she shared with her followers that she was shooting her shot and showed the napkin. The end of the video showed her covering her smiling, flushed face after the guy had immediately turned around to introduce himself.

And after the flight he even sent her a text message reciprocating her interest.

Also did this towards the end of the flight so it wasn’t awkward for a long time just incase 😅 #datingtok #catchingflights #singletok #flightsandfeelings #summer23

The video quickly went viral with more than three million people rooting for the potential couple.

Fortunately, Natalie had good news for her followers, as the guy not only was from San Diego just like she was, but he also texted her while on his trip, asking her for a first date.

He texted her:

"I'm free tomorrow and Monday night. Down for a date night? There's a couple fun places I've been wanting to check out."

Replying to @Becky Reynolds probably gonna give a full report monday 7-3! ☺️thanks for the support! Also hope this encourages some people!💕

After the date, Natalie shared a three-video update and smiled throughout the entire recording.

As it turned out, Natalie's date only lived about 20 minutes away from her. He offered to pick her up for the date, but, because they had only just met on the plane, Natalie decided the safest thing was to drive herself.

Thank you everyone. I hope this encourages more people to do the same💕

They met up and went out for Korean BBQ, which was a first for Natalie, and her date also adorably helped her learn how to use chopsticks properly. The pair went out for ice cream after and talked a lot, finding that they had a lot in common and many similar interests.

@nataliebonbon

Sorry ran out of time part 3 is super short tho 💕thanks for the support ☺️

At the end of the date, he walked Natalie back to her car and opened the door for her.

TikTok was all abuzz with the date and complimented Natalie on how happy she seemed and the butterflies they could feel coming through the screen.

You can watch the third video here:

@nataliebonbon

If we go out again i will tell him about the video. 😊we shall see.

Unfortunately, as adorable as the date was, the relationship probably wasn't going anywhere.

When asked for an update, Natalie said that her date had walked her out to her car and opened her door for her and then had said he would "text her later in the week," which generally means the opposite.

She was discouraged when he had not asked her to text him when she got home, and they had not spoken in the week since going out on their date.

You can watch the follow-up video here:

@nataliebonbon

Replying to @lexiememphis dating in SoCal is rough but life goes on 😌💕

As much as we want things to work out, not every relationship is destined to work. It still seems that Natalie came out on top, though.

She might not have a boyfriend, but she can rest knowing that she did a brave thing and got a fun date out of it, not to mention a lot of new TikTok followers.

Trump Dragged After Making Ridiculous Claim About Randomly Finding Billions On The 'Tariff Shelf'

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed to reporters this week that officials in his administration suddenly found $30 billion they "never knew existed"—located on what Trump referred to as the "tariff shelf."

Tariffs are a tax on imported goods, usually calculated as a percentage of the purchase price. While tariffs can shield domestic manufacturers by making foreign products more expensive, they are also used as a tool to penalize countries engaged in unfair trade practices, such as government subsidies or dumping goods below market value.

Bride's Friends Surprise Her With Montage Video Of All Her Exes At Bachelorette Party—And People Are Mortified

While Jenny Han's novel To All the Boys I've Loved Before was a major hit, and even became a great film success in 2018, not everyone's married to the idea of reconnecting with their exes after the relationships end.

It might be nice to imagine staying friends after the relationships, imagining our exes missing us or regretting losing us, or even giving us an apology for the things they did wrong. But most of us pine for this for a little while, realize it's all a fairy tale, and push past it to better things and new love.

TikToker Sparks Debate After Calling Out Driver's Extremely Bright Headlights For Blinding Her

Whether we are drivers or passengers, we've all experienced that annoying, possibly painful moment of feeling like we're being blinded by a fellow driver whose headlights are far too bright for a standard car on a standard road.

But while most of us complain about it to ourselves and leave it at that, TikToker Alexa McNee stepped up for all of us and called it out.
