Dad Texts Daughter For Advice On His Outfit For A Date And Their Adorable Exchange Goes Viral

ADVERTISEMENT

This single dad was faced with a relatable challenge: what to wear on a first date? First dates are intimidating on their own, let alone facing the dilemma of finding the right outfit to impress your date may also seem like a daunting task. Therefore, usually, in such cases, people turn to their loved ones for a piece of advice and that’s exactly what this Texan did. Jeff Saville – a single dad of four daughters – texted Carli, his 19-year-old daughter, for fashion advice. Little did they expect that the exchange quickly went viral and made Jeff internet-famous.

More info: Twitter

This young woman shared her exchange with her dad who was getting ready for a date

“Life with a single dad, asking for advice on dad outfits,” she wrote. “My heart.” The 19-year-old Texan probably did not expect her tweet to blow up as it did. But it amassed nearly 6k retweets and 168 thousand likes.

Jeff wanted to look his best for the first date so he asked one of his four daughters for advice

The photos posted by Carli show her dad trying on two different shirts, with him texting “Hello” each time his daughter, presumably, took too long to reply.

She posted their messages on Twitter and it soon went viral

People found the exchange between dad and his daughter absolutely adorable. Someone tweeted, “He is Twitter’s single dad now, protect him at all costs,” and “This is the face of a man who deserves some happiness. Going to such effort and not scared to ask for advice. When I grow up, I wanna be just like him.”

However, it turned out that Jeff unfortunately got stood up

When someone wrote, “Dinner on us if he brings a date,” Carli replied, “Considering he got stood up, I’m sure he’ll be glad to hear it!!” The fact that Jeff got stood up wasn’t sitting right on many people. “Whoever stood him up is going to hell,” someone even tweeted.

People were mad about it

And some even started offering Jeff to take their single moms on a date

We sincerely hope that Jeff is happy about his newly-found Twitter fame and that he’ll find his ‘queen’ in no time.

As a single mom of 2 boys, this hits hard. So sweet. And who's the evil one who stood this man up? Just so cruel.

They should have at least called or texted to cancel. If you ask me he dodged a bullet.

It is quite interresting how some BP headlines for articles change during the day... I wonder why that happens. Not enough clicks?

I'd try to hook him up with my mom too. She's been single since I was born, 24 years ago.

When she (the one that stood him up) see's this post, how handsome he is and how clean that bathroom is...regret is the word of the hour! Sweet is the man that see's his daughters as his partners. <3

That man is so good looking. She stood him up and didn't even get to know what he is like. Shame on her.

A man with four daughters has touched the hearts of other daughters who want a nice guy for their moms. That was unexpected and crazy sweet.

This is so sweet. As for the woman who stood him up -> there is wisdom and power in the universe. His ideal date will come along soon.

Looks like dad is going to be very busy over the next few weeks! No one should be stood up, its just mean. Hope she had a good story (there could have been an honest reason), but even more, I hope he meets the two moms that the daughter's shared pictures of - stunning women! Go get 'em Tiger, and Merry Christmas :)

Nice that the dad asked his daughter for advice, sad he got stood up, things happen for a reason, perhaps she would not have been a good match, hope he finds a nice lady !!!

Standing someone up, is just childish, to say the least. Even if you realise quickly that you're not interested in taking it further romantically, there's no need to be an a**e. Only time I personally support the idea of ending a date abruptly, is if they're rude / inappropriate / offensive - in which case, you can still leave respectfully. I hope he finds a good partner. :)

I hope the person who stood him up is just an a*****e, and was not involved in an accident that prevented them from calling. But it's most likely an a*****e.

If a woman "needs" a man - there's a problem. She needs self-confidence and self-worth instead.

I gave up on the dating game long ago, all the women around here are either drug infested, drunks or thieves. Some of them all 3.
