Dating can be a rollercoaster of unexpected moments, especially in the world of apps where initial connections don’t always lead to compatibility. Differences in interests or values are common deal breakers, but for one woman, her dating app experience took a disturbingly odd twist.
Hannah Davies shared her unusual story on TikTok after a follower asked about her worst date. The incident, which happened in 2019 shortly after Hannah ended a long-term relationship, marked her hesitant foray into dating apps, a world that was new to her after years of being partnered.
After striking up a conversation with a man she found attractive, they texted daily for about two weeks before he suggested meeting at a nearby pub. Although his behavior became stranger—sending unsolicited full-body nude photos—Hannah brushed it off as typical modern dating quirks and agreed to meet.

Early into their date, he disclosed that he followed a vegan lifestyle but didn’t mind if she ate meat—as long as it wasn’t in front of him. Feeling comfortable, Hannah ordered cheesy garlic mushrooms. His reaction was swift and startling: he loudly berated her in the pub, accusing her of “torturing animals” by eating cheese, equating it to animal cruelty.
But the discomfort didn’t end there. He soon revealed a chilling aspiration on his bucket list—to eat human flesh. Stunned, Hannah realized this was an unmistakable red flag. She left the date early and declined to meet him again.
Surprisingly, he later seemed perplexed about why she wouldn’t grant him a second date, possibly forgetting the bizarre confessions he’d made.
The story sparked lively reactions online, with many bemused by the contradiction of condemning animal meat while fantasizing about cannibalism. One commenter empathized with Hannah’s patience during the ordeal, while another joked about the absurdity of preferring human flesh over animal products.
Interestingly, British law does not explicitly outlaw cannibalism. While killing someone to eat them constitutes murder, consuming the flesh of the deceased might not be illegal, though it could violate other laws related to offense or public decency. This legal gray area was famously highlighted in 1988 when artist Rick Gibson ate legally obtained human tonsils in public without prosecution.
Hannah’s tale stands as a cautionary example of some truly weird encounters in the dating world—and the importance of tuning in to red flags, no matter how unusual they may be.
