Man Goes On First Date With Woman Who Brought 23 Family Members Along
Dating is hard enough in a pandemic world but for one Chinese man, it was also expensive. A 29-year-old man went to a restaurant on a blind date that his mother helped arrange and not only met his date but 23 of her family members she brought along.
As they ate, the table filled up with expensive meals and alcohol, and then when the bill showed up, the man was given the bill by the staff. The bill totaled just under $3,000. He knew he couldn't afford it, so he ended up sneaking out of the restaurant and leaving the bill with his date and her family.
When asked why she brought her family members with her to the first date, the woman said: “I was testing whether the man who might potentially be my boyfriend would be generous enough to pay for all 25 people, including himself and myself.” She also feels as if she is a victim in this situation.
No word on if there is a second date on the horizon.

But it turns out, virtual dating has its advantages and being able to feel that instant connection is one of them. Dating expertSerena Kerrigansays chemistry all comes down to someone’s energy and the flow of conversation.
While some singles may miss old school, in-person dates, 60% of those surveyed say they like the “new dating normal.” And even after the pandemic ends, one in four plan to keep doing virtual dating. Being able to hop on a video call with your potential suitor and know in 30 seconds whether there’s a fan worth flaming, all from the comfort of your couch, could definitely help you avoid those awkward first dates with someone you don’t feel it with.
