"What did this have to do with the story?"
Maybe "Chelsea" Gordita?

A woman who went viral with the hilarious story of her “worst first date” is now claiming that a “drove” of other women have come forward with stories of a strikingly similar — and awful — first dates, perhaps with the very same romantically-challenged bachelor.
Elyse Myers, a web developer and content creator from Nebraska, first shared the tale of her disastrous 2011 date on TikTok last week. As she explained in the video, Myers met her suitor on a dating app before driving to his house, where she assumed they would be meeting up and leaving for a restaurant. Instead, the man hopped into her car, directed her to a Taco Bell drive-thru, and proceeded to order 100 crunchy tacos.
Worse yet, Myers says he forgot his wallet, forcing her to shell out an estimated $149.07 on Taco Bell tacos.
“This is happening. I’m committed to this now. This is happening,” Myers deadpanned.
Taco Bell bringing back the Doritos Cheesy Gordita Crunch As Myers went on to explain, she and her date went back to his house — where his dad was hanging out — and started eating tacos at the kitchen table.
“We are eating hard-shell tacos in complete silence. You can hear both of us chewing. It’s absolute chaos,” she joked.
Finally, Myers says she decided to leave when her date’s dad grabbed a taco and asked if she’d like to see his “studio.”
Before fleeing, she also gathered up the remaining 94 tacos “because I paid for them.”
Not surprisingly, Myers’ horrific story has been viewed almost 16 million times. More surprising, however, are the women who contacted Myers to say they had experienced nearly identical dates, possibly with the same man.
One woman, named Jen, contacted Myers to ask where and when the date occurred “because she had a similar experience,” Myers told Nexstar. As it so happened, Jen’s date took place in California… where Myers was living in 2011 when she met her Taco Bell boy.
“Then a drove of other women started telling me they went on a similar date,” Myers told Nexstar. “I don’t know how this isn’t the same guy going around and running this play on other women.”
In a series of follow-up videos, Myers admitted that she ignored a slew of red flags during the date. But as she told Nexstar, she was a “naïve” 18-year-old who “just wanted to go on a date because I could.”
“I honestly just felt like I needed to do whatever it took to get the date over with so I could leave safely. That’s why I bought all ONE-HUNDRED of the tacos.”
“I totally understand why people think it’s crazy I would have let even one red flag pass (let alone all of them) but I was doing what I thought was best,” she added. “And clearly I made the wrong choices. Lesson learned.”
Why one company wants your used Taco Bell sauce packets As for the 94 leftover tacos? Myers said she “ate all 94 of those soggy boys” because she spent two weeks’ worth of grocery money at Taco Bell on that fateful evening in 2011.
“I’m still waiting on my $149.07,” she added.
$149.07 for peasant food at Taco Bell, are you friggin kiddin me???
that’s two steak dinners and drinks here...
Ha!!
......”Myers met her suitor on a dating app before driving to his house”.......
EEE-gads! Those were her first stupid mistakes, the rest was the price she paid for being an idiot.
Friend in California talked with a guy in New England for awhile...then she flew him out to California to meet.....ended up he was just looking for a way to get to California to meet his real girlfriend!
Perhaps a cautionary tale.
Yep, this is hard to believe. If I were on such a date, that first date would be the last one, and I would not have paid for over a hundred dollars worth of tacos. For somebody who claimed he forgot his wallet? The thing to do, is to go back and get his wallet, then return to the taco place.
That is, if you even wanted to continue the date at that point.
You did not miss a thing by not reading further. If this actually happened, this woman is stupid beyond redemption. As for myself, I very seriously doubt that it happened. Because, non one is as stupid as she comes across as. Not even a Biden voter.
I don’t believe a word of this story.
These are some incredibly stupid women.
AKA OnlyFans.
Key word is content, "creator" This, "happened" in 2011 and she's profiteering in the glorious interwebs now. You go girl!
It’s important, Fungi, because old singles like me can sit here in the tranquility of my beautiful home, with kitty snoozing, a good book (as soon as I stop freeping), a cup of tea, and think, “this is a good life...don’t need to change a thing!”
It’s validation.
Maybe "Chelsea" Gordita?
Never use “taco” and “woman” in the same sentence.
I love women, but damn most of them aren’t worth the effort nowadays.
miserare: "It may have sexual connotations. 😇"
Tijeras_Slim: "Perhaps a cautionary tale."

(Payback)
Agree. It’s bogus. First off, what woman would drive to an unknown man’s home for a first date? Seriously? The 100 tacos? And she paid??? Nah.
