#16: Are You Going to Finish That?
Sometimes, first dates can take unexpected turns that leave you questioning the choices people make. In this case, a 25-year-old guy brought along his parents on a date. Even more peculiar is that his mother intervened by asking his date if she had finished her food, intending to take home the leftovers. While there’s nothing inherently wrong with taking leftovers from a restaurant, especially when there’s a substantial amount of food left, having your mother facilitate this process during a date adds a unique layer of awkwardness.
Such an encounter can certainly affect the overall atmosphere of a date, even if the guy is otherwise a great person. It’s uncommon for adults to involve their parents in their dating lives, and this situation is usually reserved for early teenage years. Nonetheless, it’s a memorable story highlighting the importance of establishing boundaries and understanding the expectations of a first date.
