Like something straight out of a rom-com, a TikToker has shared how a 'pilot' signed a napkin and dropped it off on her table before disappearing among a crowd of people at a busy airport.

The 11-second video uploaded to the social media platform has been streamed more than 11 million times, and it has left the internet divided - over whether the jaw-dropping note the passenger received was out of admiration or 'game-playing'.

In the video, American TikToker Steph Bohrer posted: "I'm sitting at the airport and a pilot just placed this on my table & walked away."

The note read: "I have seen the whole world and you are the most beautiful human in it."

While captioning her upload: "I didn’t even see his face."

There was no cell phone number on the note, nor was there a name, just the 'pilot's' signature.

One user posted: "Girl are you actually the main character HOW DO THESE THINGS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO YOU."

A second typed: "And no phone number? he was just being nice to be nice omgggg."

Someone else asked: "Leaves his signature but no number? Why ???"

Another wrote: "An anonymous compliment with no agenda is the best. He didn’t stick around, no phone number. Outwardly it’s sweet."

"Damn the comments lol. Let a girl receive a no strings attached compliment in peace," wrote another.

So what were these comments? Well, if you're a pilot look away because it doesn't make for good reading!

"He's probably married with 5 kids," typed one person.

A second commented: "I have a feeling atleast 20 other women around the world also received this napkin."

"This is probably his go to pick line in every city," a third penned.

A fourth suggested they may know the man: "Was it my pilot ex husband who cheated on me with a flight attendant and left me 3 wks after buying a house together? Probably lol."

"Coming from a flight attendant and ex-pilot wife... he's married and he uses that line everyday. You're beautiful though," added another.

I mean, it's better than the note one passenger received from a flight attendant while using the loo.

On that instance, it hilariously read: "Sir we tried our best to open the door, however, we could not.

"Do not panic. We are landing in a few minutes, so please close the commode lid and sit on it and secure yourself. As soon as the main door is open, an engineer will come. Do not panic."
