A woman was on a date with a man when two strangers walked up to her and handed her a note with a message of warning on it.
The woman, an American content creator who posts about her dating life on TikTok as Lindsay, made a video series detailing the bizarre encounter, which left her racking her brain for days afterwards.
In the clip, which has amassed over 400,000 views, she explained, “I was on a third date and the girls next to me handed me this note folded up. I need advice.”
She recounted the “great” date she was having with a man in a restaurant and said they were being very publicly affectionate together.
After she came back from the bathroom, one of the women from the table next to her tapped her on the shoulder, complimented her hair, and then discreetly passed her a handwritten note.
It read: “JUST NO!! You can do better.”
“What does it mean?” she asked her followers, admitting she’s been “overthinking” it ever since.
“I’m like, did he do something when I went up to go to the bathroom? Did he hit on them?” she mused. “Do they know him around town?
“Were they just being girls’ girls?”
She said the women looked to be in their mid-20s, whereas she is in her mid-40s, and her date was in his mid-50s.
“Were they just saying they think I’m pretty and I can do better?” she continued. “But if they saw (him doing something) wouldn’t they have written, ‘Bad vibes’ or ‘Not safe’?
“It’s like, please put your phone number down so I can ask you!”
She said her date continued to come on strong throughout the evening and made his affections known, but she couldn’t stop thinking about the cryptic letter.

In the comments, her followers quickly told her the note was a “gift” and said she should “run”.
“We don’t pass notes unless we are warning you,” one person claimed.
“I don’t know more of a blatant sign than a literal note being passed to you,” pointed out a second.
“He absolutely did something!” added a third.
“Anytime a girl gives a note they saw something when you were gone and he must have talked badly about you when gone.”
The six-word note launched a frenzy on Lindsay’s account, and she hoped her videos would reach the women who wrote the note.
However, as of last week, she hadn’t heard from either of them so decided to ask her date if he knew them. He said he didn’t and suggested they might have known his ex.
Eventually, she called things off after he sent her a slew of drunk texts, which she shared screenshots of in a separate clip.
“I’m so glad you dropped him. I was invested! Keep standards high, men will always bring you down to their level,” someone wrote.
