It’s not just inside the bedroom where people’s Valentine’s Days are going wrong, as many have shared online.
While some were left frustrated after ending up empty handed on the day, others describe discovering that they had been cheated and even one offer in ‘splitting’ and M&S dine it for two meal.
Daniel Godfrey, from Ireland, took his girlfriend out to a swanky restaurant to celebrate their relationship on Valentine’s Day.
However, as he recounted the meal on TikTok, he described it as ‘one of the most awkward moments I’ve ever experienced’.
He recalled arriving at the restaurant with his girlfriend; the pair dressed to the nines for Valentine’s Day, before sitting down to be served by a waitress who he claims was acting strangely.
Daniel claimed the server threw food on the table and told his girlfriend: ‘You deserve so much better.’
He claimed the waitress then looked him ‘dead in the eyes’ before telling him: ‘You are disgusting.’
At first Daniel was baffled by the encounter – however he soon realised what had happened, claiming the unusual behaviour was a case of mistaken identity.
He explained Matthew, his identical twin, also visits the same eatery with his girlfriend – which led the waitress to assume one man was two-timing different women.
‘I look at my girlfriend and I’ll never forget the look she gave me, it is ingrained in my brain,’ Daniel said. ‘I have never been more terrified in my entire life.’
Katerina Robinson, who often speaks about her dating life on TikTok, opened up about an experience on Valentine’s Day which left her feeling embarrassed at an M&S checkout counter.

She and her now ex-boyfriend opted to go for the supermarket’s dine-in for two range which consists of a starter, main, dessert and a bottle of bubbly, which as of 2025, costs £25.
Katerina, from Manchester, said: ‘We get to the checkout and he says to me “Do you want to split it?” At a checkout? Are you serious!
‘I totally get splitting the bill if you’re out having a meal somewhere but at a checkout, really?’
She claimed the sales assistant gave her a knowing look, suggesting she thought the suggestion was outrageous too.
Katerina dubbed the cringeworthy conversation ‘the worst Valentine’s Day story’ and said the entire experience gave her ‘the ick’.
She added: ‘I actually stayed with him after that, I must’ve been in a really bad place.’
However she did find a silver lining and added: ‘At least it was M&S, imagine if you were at Lidl.’
TikToker Elisha has also had her fair share of unfortunate Valentine’s Days over the years, even dubbing it the ‘worst day of the year’.

Last year, Tesco employee Roisin got dumped on the day before Valentine’s and made a joke about ‘blocking’ him
Roisin’s TikTok clip gained a lot of views, prompting people to speak about their disastrous experiences
She explained her hatred of the loved-up holiday began when she was dumped on February 14 by a boy she had been dating for two weeks.
‘I spent the entire evening singing Bruno Mars Grenade whilst crying into my microphone,’ she said.
The next Valentine’s Day she had was with a partner that she had been in a relationship for a couple of months.
Elisha said: ‘He decided that instead of spending the evening with me on Valentine’s Day like most couples do, or buying me a bunch of flowers, he instead was going to go on a night out with his housemates.’
While she was far from happy with his decision to spend the evening with his pals, Elisha reluctantly ‘let him go’.
However, a couple of days after her boyfriend’s night out, she claims to have found a ‘love bite’ on his neck, which he tried passing off as a ‘spider bite’.
‘It came to my attention that he spent Valentine’s Day in bed with someone else,’ she claimed.
