“‘She Might Be the One’: Popular TikToker Big Sol Shares Surprising Date Experience That’s Got Nigerians Talking”

Popular TikTok creator Big Sol, known for his relatable storytelling and humorous takes on Nigerian life, has set social media buzzing after narrating a surprisingly emotional experience from a casual date. What started as a simple outing quickly turned into a moment that struck him so deeply that he began to question whether the woman he went out with might actually be “the one.”

Sharing the story on X, Big Sol said he had been talking to a lady he liked and they had already gone on a first date. Excited for the second one, he decided to keep things light and fun. They stopped by ShopRite for a stroll, and afterward branched into Cold Stone Creamery to get ice cream. Wanting to treat her, he confidently ordered two medium cups, imagining a cute moment of shared dessert.

But the date took a surprising turn when the cashier called out the price: ₦14,000 per cup.

Like many Nigerians dealing with skyrocketing prices, Big Sol was stunned. Ice cream has always been considered a small luxury, but ₦28,000 for two cups was beyond what he expected. Still, he didn’t want to complain. As someone in the public eye and a man trying to make a good impression, he said he didn’t want to look embarrassed or appear as someone who couldn’t afford a treat he had initiated.

But before he could decide how to react, the lady stepped in — and that moment, according to him, changed everything.

The woman didn’t pretend not to notice the price. She didn’t smile awkwardly or encourage him to go ahead and pay anyway. Instead, she immediately spoke up, saying, “That’s way too overpriced, let’s just get something cheaper.” No drama. No formality. No entitlement. Just practical concern.

For Big Sol, who has seen and heard many stories about extravagant expectations and performative dating culture, her reaction felt rare. She didn’t insist on Cold Stone because she wanted to impress her friends or post something online. She didn’t pressure him into overspending. She simply wanted something reasonable — and she wasn’t shy about saying so.

She then led him to a frozen yoghurt spot beside Cold Stone where cones went for ₦2,500 each, and she was totally fine with it. No complaints, no subtle disappointment, no shift in attitude. She genuinely enjoyed the alternative, and that simplicity, he said, struck him emotionally.

Big Sol admitted that he had been slowing things down with her because he didn’t want to rush into a relationship and later regret it. As a TikToker with a growing audience and a busy schedule, he’s exposed to many stories about dating pitfalls, financial pressure, and the importance of choosing carefully. But this single moment, he said, “actually made me look at her different… she might actually be the one.”

It was then he posed the question to his followers — a question that sparked a wave of reactions: “Or am I just overthinking?”

Within hours, the post began to trend as Nigerians on X, TikTok, and Instagram flooded the comments with opinions. Many users praised the woman for displaying what they called genuine humility and emotional intelligence. In a time when many people feel pressured to present an “expensive” lifestyle online, her willingness to choose a cheaper option was seen as refreshing.

Several women even joked that if more ladies behaved like her, men would propose faster and relationships would last longer. Men, on the other hand, flooded Big Sol’s comment section with stories of dates where the opposite happened — moments where they felt pressured into buying things they couldn’t comfortably afford just to avoid looking “broke.”

For many Nigerians struggling with the rising cost of living, the story was deeply relatable. The economy has forced people to reconsider what matters in relationships, and the idea that a partner should be financially considerate resonates strongly with a wide audience. The woman’s response wasn’t just about saving money; it was about showing awareness, empathy, and partnership.

Still, not everyone agreed that one moment should define a person’s character. A few comments reminded Big Sol to observe her consistency over time and not rush into conclusions. They argued that while the gesture was commendable, true compatibility is measured by patterns, not isolated acts.

Others humorously warned him not to fall in love over ice cream alone, while some insisted that this kind of thoughtfulness was precisely how a person reveals their values. A woman’s instinctive response in uncomfortable situations often reveals more about her personality than carefully curated romantic moments.

Despite the playful debates, one thing stood out: the majority of Nigerians saw the woman’s behavior as a green flag. Many felt that she demonstrated maturity, respect, and a refreshing lack of entitlement — traits that are increasingly appreciated in modern relationships.

Big Sol’s story also sparked discussions about masculinity and the pressure men face during dates. In a culture where men are often expected to cover all costs without complaint, even when prices are unreasonable, his admission felt honest. It opened the floor to conversations about financial realities, fairness in dating, and the importance of choosing partners who understand the times.

What makes the story even more interesting is that it wasn’t dramatic or glamorous. It was quiet, ordinary, and unplanned — which is exactly why it resonated. Real relationships are built in such moments: in the grocery aisles of ShopRite, at overpriced counters in Cold Stone, and in the simple decisions that reveal what kind of partner someone is willing to be.

For Big Sol, the encounter became an emotional checkpoint. It made him pause, reflect, and wonder whether he had been overcautious or even unknowingly blocking something good. Sometimes the heart recognizes sincerity before the mind catches up, and for him, this was one of those moments.

Whether this lady truly becomes “the one” for him remains to be seen, but what is clear is that Nigerians love the story, love the humility displayed, and love the reminder that genuine connection can be found in the simplest of interactions.

As followers wait for updates — something Big Sol’s audience is definitely hoping for — one thing is certain: a ₦28,000 ice cream scare has quietly become one of the sweetest love signals on Nigerian social media this week.
