Going out to groove with friends is usually about enjoying the vibes and creating lasting memories. However, the mood took a sharp turn when a seemingly irritated man cast a cold look at a woman at the same venue.

Far from a groovy night

A TikTok user, @efunkza, uploaded a video on the social media platform showing a young man sitting and looking up at a woman, possibly his girlfriend, with an icy stare.

@efunkza provided context on the couple's exchange when he wrote:

Words from a relationship expert

Briefly News contacted relationship educator Kelley Nele, who shared how people can interpret and respond to intense non-verbal expression in a relationship:

"Ask the person giving the expressions to express their feelings with words. Things shouldn't be left up to interpretation, and a proper conversation needs to be had for the conflict to be resolved."

Kelley also added that people should take the time to process their feelings alone, especially if they are heated.

"In addition to that, they should take the time to find the right words to express themselves (what their partner did and how it made them feel) and what they need from their partner (how their partner can make things better)."

Death stare humours Mzansi

Several local members of the online community could not help but laugh at the intensity of the man's stare at the woman.

Humorously making an excuse for the woman, @barbs1753 commented with a laugh:

"She's sleepwalking."

@kit_kat045 jokingly told app users:

"Spiritual wife and spiritual husband communicating via Wi-Fi."

@dankienjabz laughed and wrote:

"The silence was very loud. Girl couldn't stand it."

@miss_kutako added in the comment section:

"If I see you at groove and you’re also sleeping, let’s not bother each other while we’re sleeping."

A few social media users also showed concern after seeing the man's reaction.

@timiallu shared in the comments:

"Please, I hope this didn't end like Sibusiso Lawrence's case. Nowadays, amagents are just angry and quick to snap."

@morenda.classen stated their opinion:

"You lost her, my brother. At this point, move on and forget. This is how GBV starts. Some ladies at that age don't know what they want."
