A woman who tried her hand at a solo outing in the hope of meeting new people without resorting to dating apps was left in tears after no one spoke to her.

TikTok user Angelica Peck, from Philadelphia, shared how she bravely decided to go out by herself on a weekend night.

She documented her outfit picks for the evening and hopped from one venue to the other, hoping to meet people. 

But Angelica, who revealed she's decided not to use dating apps for a year, ended the evening in flood of tears when she got home because she did not meet anyone on her venture.  

However, people applauded her courage and supported her aim to have more solo outings, and she's vowed not to be put off. 

In the video, Angelica explained that even though she has planned not to use apps for the whole year, she still wants to meet people. 

'So tonight, it's Friday, I'm gonna go out by myself,' she said.

The 20-something went on to show off her outfit pick for the evening - jeans and a skull-print shirt - revealing she was anxious to look casual and approachable. 

Wrapped in her winter coat, Angelica admitted she felt a bit nervous as she passed a beer garden 'full of people with their friends.' 

However, she pressed on and headed to a jazz bar. But the place was too crowded, and she decided to try another place. 

She shared a snippet of her evening, sat at the bar. However, in a new update shared later on in the evening, she looked visibly upset. 

Resuming the video at home, Angelica struggled to fight tears as she looked back on the evening that had not 'gone as planned.'
