A woman wanted to test her date’s generosity but her plan went awry. In an unconventional move, she made a decision to bring along 23 family members to their blind date, hoping to assess her date’s willingness to share. However, what ensued was far from what she had anticipated.
The Failed Blind Date Test
Her date, known as Mr. Lui had wanted to make an impression on Miss Zhang by offering to treat her and her relatives at one of his favorite restaurants. However, he was taken aback when confronted with not just her presence but that of her entire extended family, which amounted to 23 members. Understandably, Mr. Lui balked at the prospect of footing the bill for such a large gathering, leading to an uncomfortable situation.
Setting the Stage
According to the local paper Taizhou Evening News, the setting for this awkward encounter was a restaurant in the eastern Chinese province of Zhejiang. The woman’s intentions, albeit questionable, stemmed from a desire to gauge Mr. Lui’s willingness to share and provide for her family. However, her execution of this plan left much to be desired, especially since it was a blind date.

It became evident that Mr. Lui was not on board with the woman’s test of generosity. Instead of graciously accepting the burden of the bill, he made an abrupt exit, leaving the woman to face the consequences alone. The bill, totaling a substantial 20,000 yuan (or, $3,100), was now solely her responsibility, a bitter outcome for her attempt at a test.
A Further Fight
However, Zhang did not just leave it there. The partner, jilted by how the blind date went, even went on to file a lawsuit against Mr. Liu. The court ruled that Mr. Liu should only pay 1400 yuan of the bill.
A Lesson Learned
The woman’s attempt to assess her date’s generosity was not only unsuccessful but also costly. She may have had noble intentions, but her method of testing Mr. Lui’s character backfired spectacularly. This cautionary tale serves as a reminder that honesty and communication are key in any relationship, rather than elaborate tests of character.
