Would YOU Pay? Woman Brings 23 Family Members on First Date

I walked into the restaurant expecting a simple first date—just me and her, maybe a glass of wine to break the ice. But as soon as I stepped inside, my stomach dropped. The table stretched on forever, packed with cousins, aunts, uncles—even a grandmother in a silk scarf smiling like she already knew me. Orders were flying: steaks, lobsters, cocktails, desserts. Then she leaned in, her voice low and sweet, and said…

I thought I was walking into an ordinary blind date. Dinner for two, maybe a glass of wine, the usual awkward laughs. Instead, I walked into a scene I’ll never forget—because seated around the restaurant were not one, not two, but twenty-three members of her family**.

I froze in the doorway, gripping the reservation slip in my hand like it was a lifeline. She stood and waved at me, smiling sweetly, while behind her the table stretched on and on—cousins, aunts, uncles, even what looked like a grandmother in a silk scarf. My heart sank.

“Surprise!” she said, kissing me on the cheek like we were celebrating an anniversary. “I hope you don’t mind, I thought it would be fun for you to meet everyone right away.”
