A dad's heartfelt bike ride left his daughter reflecting on love, raising the bar for her future partner.
Many people, due to fear of being left alone, rush into relationships and settle with partners who eventually turn out to be red flags. Yet, these couples choose to keep their romanticized expectations from their partners at such low standards, somehow managing troublesome relationships without thinking better standards are attainable. A woman recently reflected upon the same following a heartwarming surprise from her protective father, setting goals for her future partner. The dad’s wholesome gesture, captured by his daughter named Isa—who goes by @isaaaarose on TikTok—left her completely overwhelmed after she went for a walk alone, unaware of what was about to happen.
In a widely circulating video, Isa can be seen walking down a lane built along what appears to be a highway. The content creator is amused upon seeing her dad from afar, pedaling his bike and approaching her. As he comes closer, the woman is shocked to see her father holding another bike with his right hand all this while. Through the text overlay on the footage, Isa answered the question: “Why are your standards so high?” by showcasing the length her dad was willing to go for her. The dad wastes no time handing Isa the other bike he had been carrying.
“My dad noticed I went for a walk and biked nearly two miles to find me,” explained the text overlay, set to a background score of Piero Piccioni‘s hit number titled "Arizona Dreaming." Accompanied by soothing whistles and visuals of scenic natural beauty, the dad’s thoughtful gesture left Isa deeply emotional. “He was carrying my bike along, just so we could enjoy a bike ride together,” the post added. Even though it is expected of dads to help their children, the video creator was thrilled to see her dad this way. Isa’s refusal to settle for less when it comes to life partners left her viewers reflecting on the same. In fact, she admitted that every day her father keeps raising the bar for how her future partner should treat her—with the same care, love, and affection.
“Tommy continues to raise the standards daily,” the caption along with the 14-second clip added. Isa was heard saying: “No way! My dad biked all the way from my house. With my bike,” after her dad finally located her walking down the lane. The sweetest act prompted her to further question: “Dad! What are you doing? I can’t believe you did that.”
During all these developments, the dad chose not to say anything, except to smile and hand the bike to Isa. The incident has been drawing massive reactions online. @b00bafatt wrote, “I'm glad some people got parents who truly love them and are a part of their life.” “I wouldn’t settle for a man unless I knew he would be this kind of father. You are truly so incredibly blessed,” @1sharded remarked. @spacelemons88 expressed, “Feeling happiness for strangers while carrying heartbreak for those of us who never experienced this.” Others also lauded Isa’s dad for leaving no stone unturned when it came to supporting her with even the simplest tasks, like getting a ride for her.
