However, the 21-year-old's excitement quickly turned to heartbreak when he realised that he had been stood up.
Sharing his journey to TikTok, Craig wrote: "Maybe it's not time to get out there just yet."
In the video, Craig can be seen boarding a train, with the caption 'Can't wait, I'm so excited' written across the video.
He then hops off and jumps back on another train to finish his mammoth trip.

Arriving 20 minutes early, Craig then waits for his date to arrive - although 35 minutes later there's still no sign of them.
But he doesn't let it go to waste, ordering a meal, a dessert and some shots to tide him over.
The video ends with Craig getting the train back home, writing: "I guess I'll just head home. I was really looking forward to tonight."
Since the video was shared, it has been viewed over 3.9 million times.
