This girl tried to get a date with her Uber driver and it’s (almost) like a modern day fairytale
Like something from a romantic comedy, this girl’s story of how she tried to get a date with her Uber driver is an epic tale of love, loss, and betrayal.
We totally love hearing about hilarious Uber tales, whether that be singer Lorde’s tale about a driver who was gushing about meeting a celebrity or the fact that Uber has issued requests to riders to stop having sex in the back of their cars. Uber has become so integral to our lives that it’s understandable that hilarious and dramatic things would occur.
However, Twitter user @KelliAmirah’s tale of trying to score a date with her Uber driver is (almost) like a modern day fairy tale.

Things started off fairly simple. Kelli and her friends were on their way to a party. Getting a call from their Uber driver, Kelli just knew that he was gonna be a hunky so and so.
It all started on Saturday night, when me and my friends got an uber to this party.

The driver called to let me know he was outside and I'm like bet, we're coming. Hung up. Made the observation that his voice was fine af

Getting into the car, Kelli’s foresight proved correct; their Uber driver was FINE. Kelli knew that she had to make her shoot to ask him out.
So there's minor small talk in the car, nothing major, And our destination is quickly approaching. But I'm not ready to shoot yet

Texting her friend, who was in back passenger seat, Kelli tried to figure out something she could leave in the car so that she’d have an excuse to get in contact with him again.
Meanwhile me and my friend in the car texting about the whole thing while she's in the front seat and I'm in the back pic.twitter.com/DsUyd3nhul

Unfortunately, Kelli and her friends had arrived at their destination. In a spur-of-the-moment move, Kelli left her phone charger behind in the cab.
I'm like oops. Looks like I'll just have to contact the driver about my lost item pic.twitter.com/qDU9LI6a8q
— Ffrenchie thee Stallion✨ (@TheKelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
So I wait about a half hour or so before I go to the uber app to contact my driver about my "lost item" pic.twitter.com/vLPUsYoJZu
— Ffrenchie thee Stallion✨ (@TheKelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
So I'm calling, and the phone is ringing… and ringing… Y'all I'm at this party in a corner like pic.twitter.com/Ub5zEXkkvh
— Ffrenchie thee Stallion✨ (@TheKelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
… and then it goes to voicemail. But I wasn't too hurt cuz it's also like 1 am. I leave a message and decide to try again tomorrow
— Ffrenchie thee Stallion✨ (@TheKelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
The next morning, Kelli attempted to contact her Prince Charming again to no avail. In fact, she was worried that she might not EVER get her phone charger back!
So I leave another message but at this point I'm thinking how stupid this was. What if this man just keeps my charger? Why you do this Kelli
— Ffrenchie thee Stallion✨ (@TheKelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
It finally reaches like midnight on Sunday and I still have heard nothing back. At this point, I'm ready to take the L pic.twitter.com/aJD3WTQOdT

I go in the uber app & fill out the info on my lost item in hopes that maybe Uber can get this nigga to respond, because calling not working

After leaving a request with Uber, Kelli got to work on Monday because she had her Economics final and, well, school before fools, right? Then something magical happened…
In the midst of my studying, I check my phone and see a new message from an unknown number pic.twitter.com/RBUhFQ6zxG
— Ffrenchie thee Stallion✨ (@TheKelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
Obviously excited to have made contact, Kelli made her plan of attack.
So I let him know I'm free today in between my finals from 11-2. He's like send the address and I'll try to make it. I'm like bet pic.twitter.com/K9Zw3SDoR2
— Ffrenchie thee Stallion✨ (@TheKelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
After going to take her final at 8am, Kelli returned to her dorm to take an understandably needed nap. However, waking up at 11am she found she’d been contacted by her enigmatic love interest.
So after snoozing like three different alarms I wake back up at 11 something and check my phone. He texted. pic.twitter.com/Pzfz3xFRI7
— Ffrenchie thee Stallion✨ (@TheKelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
I text him & ask if he can give me 20 min cuz I was in the middle of something. Really I needed time to get my life together & beat my face
— Ffrenchie thee Stallion✨ (@TheKelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
Within 20 minutes, Kelli had gotten ready and was about to face the task at home: shooting her shot at her mysterious Uber driver.
So 20 min later I've achieved a light beat, look a little more put together. I'm ready. pic.twitter.com/yBODFZwv07
— Ffrenchie thee Stallion✨ (@TheKelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
With the support of her friends, Kelli went to meet the driver when he arrived to go and pick up her charger and hopefully a date, too.
So I get to the car and knock on the passenger side window and he rolls it down. My anxiety… through the roof.
Me on the inside: pic.twitter.com/onpFSI2LrS— Ffrenchie thee Stallion✨ (@TheKelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
So I say hey and he's like "oh hey wassup" and looks for my charger for .2 sec before handing it to me.
— Ffrenchie thee Stallion✨ (@TheKelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
Now I have a good ass look at his face & I'm like he too fine, I can't back down.So I'm thanking him for bringing it & he's like no problem
— Ffrenchie thee Stallion✨ (@TheKelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
Kelli then made her move…
So I say, "Excuse me if this is really forward, but would you like to go out sometime?" pic.twitter.com/XyomQzyHAn
— Ffrenchie thee Stallion✨ (@TheKelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
And then he like chuckles and smiles, and says "Text me" pic.twitter.com/nHbiEn2Div
— Ffrenchie thee Stallion✨ (@TheKelliAmirah) December 6, 2016
Kelli thought that was the end of this magical fairy tale; she had won the boy. However, an update three days later showed that fucbois are everywhere, even in smoking hot Uber drivers.
Update: I hate my life. pic.twitter.com/bapaxnVFLI
— Ffrenchie thee Stallion✨ (@TheKelliAmirah) December 10, 2016
Kelli’s Uber driver was…married.
This man is married. Has a whole ass wife. What.
— Ffrenchie thee Stallion✨ (@TheKelliAmirah) December 10, 2016
I'm really just sitting here so befuddled…
— Ffrenchie thee Stallion✨ (@TheKelliAmirah) December 10, 2016
Why not just tell me upfront thooo. "Wanna go out sometime?" "I'm married" "okay cool. Bye"
— Ffrenchie thee Stallion✨ (@TheKelliAmirah) December 10, 2016
Speaking to Buzzfeed News, Kelli said that she wishes that her driver had just been upfront with her.
"I definitely believe in the sanctity of marriage and am in no way a home wrecker, so I just let it go," she said.
However, she did say that she was proud of herself for going out of her comfort zone to ask a random person out on a date, adnd tbh we’re so impressed with her, too! Kelli’s dedication to the cause and her determination are admirable and we salute her!
Essentially, be more like Kelli.
