#7: All in the Family
Imagine the horror of going out on a date with a stranger only to discover that you share a familial connection. It’s a nightmare scenario. The silver lining, if one could call it that, is that this startling revelation occurred early in the date, preventing the situation from escalating into awkward territory.
It does raise the question of how third cousins, who are roughly the same age and live in the same city, could have remained unaware of each other’s existence. It begs further inquiry into whether they may have crossed paths at a family event or gathering. Regardless, they dodged a potential disaster by swiftly unearthing their familial ties before the date progressed.
