Twitter Rallies Around Single Dad Who Asked Daughter for Fashion Advice

Jeff Saville, a 56-year-old single dad in Texas had been looking forward to his big date all week. In an effort to look his best, he asked his 19-year-old daughter Carli for advice on what to wear. Jeff texted her some selfies showcasing a few outfit options, he was just looking for a little feedback – unaware he would find viral fame too.
Because unbeknownst to him, Carli had posted their text exchange on Twitter.

As it turns out Carliâs fashion advice was all for nothing. Jeff arrived at the restaurant but his dining companion never did. Sadly, he realized he had been stood up. Once his daughter learned about the date that wasnât, she showed her dejected dad the groundswell of support that was building for him on Twitter.
Soon, he had thousands of well-wishers and dozens of date requests, as Twitter users everywhere tried to slide into his DMs to hook up their moms.
