A man on TikTok went viral after an Indian woman he met on Bumble showed up to their first date...with her parents.
TikToker @zockr (Zakir), who is also Indian, revealed he was "traumatized" after the horrifying experience, and recounted the short-lived courtship on the social media platform.
Zakir shared that everything started just wonderfully. He met "Priyanka" ("you know, just for anonymity") on Bumble and was immediately drawn to her sense of humor.
The creator shared that her bio read:
âItâs either this or an arranged marriage."
Eventually, they began texting...and then FaceTiming.
Zakir was relieved when they finally video-chatted and he found "Priyanka" to be one and the same as her Bumble profile, as he had been duped before.
After a couple of daysâand after discovering they both love Indian foodâthey decided to take their courtship to the next level and meet at an Indian restaurant.
Zakir shared how he arrived early to "scope out the place," and then returned to his car to wait. His date texted shortly after that she had arrived, and the two planned to meet at the entrance of the restaurant.
After their first in-person meet and greet, Zakir opened the door for his date who informed him they already had a table. She led him to a table where two people were already sitting.
â[She] uses her hand and gestures, 'oh, this is our table,' and I see two people that are sitting at our table. Iâm like, 'uhh, whoâs sitting at our table,' and thereâs a table of four here?"
"And sheâs like, 'oh, this is my mom and my dad.' And Iâm like, 'hello, how are you doing?'â
Awkward.
He continued:
âI was not prepared for this moment in life. There was no way that she had brought her mom and dad with her on a first date, Iâm like thatâs it. This is my arranged marriage."
"I cannot hide from this moment in time. My love life expired. Thereâs officially an end date to my dating career, what is happening?â
Unfortunately for the TikToker, the evening didn't get any better.
âSo Priyankaâs dad is sitting across from me at the table, Priyankaâs mom is sitting to my right, Priyankaâs sitting diagonally from me, and I could already tell that Priyankaâs dad for some reason or another does not like that Iâm here, or even heâs here, and he looks at me and he says, âSo I see that youâre interested in my daughter.'â
After sharing the interest was "a bit mutual," Zakir recalled his date's father prying about his occupation a bit before suggesting his parents meet them at the restaurant as well.
After explaining his parents were not local, the date seemed to end rather abruptly.
âPriyanka gets up, her mom gets up, the dad gets up and they all walk...are walking out of the restaurant I was like, what just happened? I thought I was...huh? What?"
"So I havenât heard from Priyanka, I donât know what is happening, so I thought Iâd tell TikTok, and honestly, maybe itâs a sign that things werenât going to work out, so, onto the next first date.â

@zockr another dating nightmare #fyp #dating #arrangedmarriage #storytime
Viewers of the TikTok all agreed that Zakir experienced the absolute worst of first dates.






But many encouraged him to "hang in there" nevertheless.



The TikTok has already been viewed more than 16 million times...and we can see why!
So sorry, friend.
