His first video was of their initial encounter on July 28 included the words: “Accidentally pickup up a homeless woman.”

“I saw you from over there, you’re so pretty. I just wanted to say hi to you,” he says, while the woman smiles but tries to keep walking.

They had a brief exchange before he asks her out to dinner, to which she agrees.

However, she reveals she doesn’t have a phone number and only uses payphones and email.

The woman suggests they meet later; Prince appears to agree and gets her email address.

But someone eventually discovered Prince stood the woman up. On Aug. 18, he shared an update with his followers, providing a long and lengthy explanation that involved a dead phone battery and not knowing the exact location of where they were supposed to meet.

Prince, who is not from Toronto, did manage to get in touch with her via email, and asked her out again, but she passed.

But the TikToker also noted he shared her story with people and asked if she would be comfortable if he started a GoFundMe for her — which she wasn’t.

Prince was leaving the country but said that when he returned to Toronto, he intended to take the woman out for dinner — and they ended up reconnecting.

The pair ended up going to a Jack Astors in the city and appeared to have a good time.

While many called her homelessness and question about Jesus red flags, most people thought the woman was “sweet” and had a “beautiful soul.”

Prince joked back, “All of TikTok is invited.”

He did get respect for following through on their date.

“I just love her energy so much,” one commenter noted, to which Prince responded, “She’s such a cool person.”
