The video has the caption: 'Dating in NYC is not for the weak.'
In the footage, Sarah grapples with love and disappointment, pouring out her frustrations.
As she tearfully shared her experiences.
In the footage, Sharah questions herself, wondering if she is to blame for the constant failures. "Every single situation and thing, that I've been in, has gone so left. And I'm like, is it me? What did I do?" she laments, her eyes glistening with tears.
Additionally, Sharah admits to giving her all in every relationship, despite the pain it causes her.
Sharah tols in her tears: 'When I love, I love so hard.'
"I give so much. Like, I hate it that I'm such a lover girl, even though I don't really look like it".

Despite her reluctance to show vulnerability, Sarah's decision to cry on camera struck a chord with many viewers.
She acknowledges the cringe factor but hopes that her honesty will resonate with others experiencing similar struggles. "Cause, first of all, I hate crying, especially in front of people, cause I don't want to show my weakness and vulnerability," she explains.

Sarah's frustration reached a breaking point. She vowed to quit dating apps and declared herself done with the whole process. "I surrender," she sighed. The cycle of hope, connection, and eventual disappointment had worn her down.
The video quickly went viral and sparked debate on social media
One person said: First off, stop saying “like” every two seconds. Also, don’t go into each date thinking you’ll have a long lasting relationship leading to marriage. You will scare men off in a heartbeat which I think may be your problem.
A second wrote: Men in their 20s and 30s want to have fun, date and explore different women. If it turns into something more, then it has to be organic and not something you’re pushing onto them so you can settle down.
While a third commented: "Dating” or rather hook-up apps are the problem. If you want a real relationship put the phone down and look elsewhere, in the real world.
Someone else said: Not everything NEEDS to be put online honey. Whatever happened to calling your friend up & having a good cry & chat about how awful about whatever it is going on in your life.
Another added: I feel u. dating in ny is unforch + i think ppl have too many options and view ppl as replaceable so it’s a nonstop rapid cycle of ups and downs.
