In a recent TikTok video, Jenny shared her dating horror story which ended in a confusing disaster.
In her video, Jenny explains that she was on her way to meet a guy she had spoken to on a dating app and eventually on WhatsApp. They had agreed to meet at the confirmed dinner spot, but while she was traveling to the dinner date, the man had changed his mind in such a severe way that when she got to the restaurant, she discovered that he had blocked her on WhatsApp.

A lot of women have responded to Jenny's initial video, showing their support and sharing their dating horror stories. Unfortunately, there has been some push back from a few members of the opposite sex, which is something that she has very clearly noticed as well:

Buzzfeed reached out to Jenny after watching her video and here's what she had to say about the current dating climate:
I'm not sure if I'm struggling because it's a cultural thing, as I'm a Canadian plopped into English dating, or if modern dating in general has just gone downhill recently. I think people need to be more transparent and just have better communication with each other. If he had told me that he was worried about me ghosting him, I would've assured him that wasn't the case and we could've had a nice date. Beyond this particular experience, I think people also need to heal from past relationships and figure out their attachment styles so that their new partners can prepare for it.
Not everyone will agree on who was in the wrong, but clearly if you currently find yourself in a healthy and successful relationship, you've done something right!
