A TikTok video posted by user mparlanti at the Pear Tree Cafe in Battersea Park has struck a chord online, racking up 1.2 million views under the tagline “Always choose the nice guy.”

It all started during a birthday outing for 'mparlanti’s brother. As Cameron manned the DJ booth, an older lady on her own approached, scanned the crowd…and then locked eyes with him. With a simple point from Cameron, he stepped off the decks and invited her to dance. The pair swayed together a couple of times, transforming an ordinary evening into a heartwarming moment that 'mparlanti’ couldn’t resist capturing on camera.

My boyfriend and I were out for my brothers birthday and a lady on her own walked towards the DJ, she proceeded to look around and then looked at Cameron who pointed at her and he then went over and asked if she wanted to dance. They danced a couple of times that evening and I thought I’d capture the heartwarming moment, not expecting it to go viral at all!
