The I Thought We Were Having a Nice Date AI prompt and model
I Thought We Were Having a Nice Date AI is made with Seedance 2.0 / 2.5 (you pick the tier) by ByteDance. The prompt behind it has 5 parts, and the timing is what makes or breaks it.
- Model
- Seedance 2.0 / 2.5 (you pick the tier)
- Mode
- Photo + motion reference to video
- Length
- 15 seconds, 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9
- Input
- 1–2 photos
- Identity lock Each photo is the only source for that person's face, hair, build and clothes, in every shot.
- Motion reference The original 15-second restaurant scene supplies the shots, cuts, camera angles and timing.
- Scene The same dim wood-panelled restaurant with warm lamps and leaded glass, kept from the film.
- Timeline Five beats, from the smile in the booth through the laugh to the tears.
- Rules Two adults at the table who never touch, no actor's face kept, no subtitles and no text.
Replace the young woman with long dark hair and a beige off-shoulder knit sweater in Video 1, the one who smiles in the booth…
Why it goes wrong when you do it yourself
- Asking a model for the Obsession scene by name gets a generic restaurant, not these cuts and this timing.
- Writing the actors' names in a prompt pulls in their faces or gets the job blocked.
- If you do not name the long dark hair and the off-shoulder sweater, they stay on the new person.
- The official clip has burned-in subtitles; a reference with them left in makes the model draw text on every shot.

What is the I Thought We Were Having a Nice Date AI trend?
Updated · videosi is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or with the owners of any trend, song, game or brand named on its pages.
"I thought we were having a nice date" is a line from the restaurant scene in Obsession, the horror film by Curry Barker that opened in US cinemas on 15 May 2026. In the scene a young woman sits in a dim booth, smiles and says "No, no, no", stands up laughing with "don't do that!", and then, as her date asks her to sit down, her face crumples into tears over the same line.
Universal Pictures posted the scene on TikTok on 21 May 2026, and that clip passed 75 million views. Through late May and June people lip-synced the line, played both roles themselves and pasted the scene into their own backgrounds. A second wave came around Halloween 2026, with Nikki costumes and fresh remakes posted from late October.
The AI version is newer. Our trend radar first picked up AI clips of the scene on 28 October 2026, where creators swap the woman, or both people, for someone else. That wave has only just started, so we make no claims about its reach.
The videosi version follows the original scene shot by shot. Your photo takes the woman's part, whatever your gender, and a second photo takes the date's seat; without one, an ordinary adult stranger sits across from you. The two of you never touch. The finished 15 seconds come with the film's original dialogue.

Tips for a better result
Face the camera
Most of the scene is a close-up on your face, so a sharp, front-facing photo matters most.
Waist up is enough
Only one wide shot shows you standing; a waist-up photo gives the model your face and top.
No sunglasses or filters
Glasses, masks and beauty filters hide what the model needs for the laugh and the tears.
One person per photo
For two people, separate photos work best. In a joint photo, stand left of your date.
Good to know before you make a I Thought We Were Having a Nice Date AI video
- The video shows two adults at a restaurant table who never touch. Without a second photo, the date is an ordinary adult stranger.
- The audio is the film's original dialogue, so the voice is the actress's, not yours, and the mouth does not follow the words exactly.
- Your own hair and clothes are kept; no costume, wig or off-shoulder sweater is added. Likeness is not guaranteed, and a failed, timed-out or blocked render returns its credits automatically.
- videosi is not affiliated with Obsession, Curry Barker, Focus Features or Universal Pictures, and a platform may mute or limit the clip's audio.
