Bad date stories are everywhere you look, but one TikToker may just have the most embarrassing story yet.
TikTok user @jessiheni22 took to the app to share the excruciatingly awkward story, racking up millions of views - and plenty of supportive comments.
In the clip, shared on January 23, Jessi wrote: "Getting my [Red blood drop emoji] in the front seat of a guy's car on our first date and leaving a skid mark."
Although that sounds like it would be a total mood killer, Jessi's date thankfully made sure she wasn't left feeling humiliated as, after all, periods are absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.

Jessi's caption continued: "When he saw it he apologised and said he went hunting that weekend and it must have been the deers and his friends made it a running joke for years."
Although her date's friends evidently knew the truth behind the blood, it appears that Jessi's date was courteous enough to act otherwise.
It's not known whether or not Jessi had a second date with the kind hearted man, but presumably the two stayed in touch enough for the incident to become known among their friends.

Many TikTok viewers took the comments to share their sympathy with Jessi, whilst praising her date.
One wrote: "Trust me when I tell you that guy knew he just wanted you to feel comfortable. We notice the tiniest discrepancies when it comes to our cars."
One man shared a story of his own: "Had new sheets ruined, she didn't know and I didn't say a word about it. Just bought new ones."
Another commenter wrote: "I really hope guys don't judge too harshly about this because this happened to me too", whilst a fellow viewer said: "He definitely knew and was just trying to make you feel better. Solid guy."

One man expressed his support for women by commenting: "As a guy, I would not make them feel embarrassed. It happens, I gave my hoodie to my ex once because she was on her period and you can see it through her sweats."
Thankfully, a majority of the comments seem to be supportive of Jessi and reiterating that periods are nothing to be embarrassed of.
This attitude is increasingly been seen throughout society as efforts are made to accommodate women during their menstrual cycles.

Scotland announced last year that they would be the first country to provide free period products. From 15 August onwards, councils and education facilities are obligated to provide menstrual pads and tampons under the Period Products Act.
