We chose an upscale restaurant downtown for our first date. I was excited, but my enthusiasm took a hit when Denise walked in with her mother, Claire.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHi, Ronny! This is my mom, Claire!\u201d Denise introduced with a smile, as though this was completely normal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHi, nice to meet you,\u201d I replied, trying to mask my surprise. Claire\u2019s firm handshake and penetrating gaze made me feel like I was under a spotlight.<\/p>\n<p>Claire took control of the conversation immediately, grilling me with questions. \u201cWhere do your parents work?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy mom\u2019s a retired teacher, and my dad\u2019s a retired engineer,\u201d I said, feeling like I was in a job interview.<\/p>\n<p>Claire continued, \u201cDo you own your place or rent?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI rent a small house,\u201d I answered, increasingly uncomfortable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s your profession? How much do you earn?\u201d Claire\u2019s questions were relentless.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-9358\" src=\"http:\/\/ezzuye.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/6db373ae00a5f25c571b544335683bca8e1317842f1acd98573fa28b71b26b53-300x200.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ezzuye.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/6db373ae00a5f25c571b544335683bca8e1317842f1acd98573fa28b71b26b53-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/ezzuye.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/6db373ae00a5f25c571b544335683bca8e1317842f1acd98573fa28b71b26b53-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/ezzuye.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/6db373ae00a5f25c571b544335683bca8e1317842f1acd98573fa28b71b26b53.webp 992w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Lh\">\n<h6 class=\"Kh\" data-testid=\"image-source\">A man using his cell phone | Source: Pexels<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>I glanced at Denise, hoping for some support, but she just smiled and nodded. It became clear they were more interested in my financial status than in getting to know me.<\/p>\n<p>An idea sparked. If they wanted to play games, I\u2019d have some fun.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, absolutely. Let\u2019s get those lobsters,\u201d I said. \u201cI understand you\u2019re here to assess my suitability for Denise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Claire\u2019s eyes lit up. \u201cExactly. We\u2019re accustomed to a certain lifestyle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I decided to escalate. \u201cI earn millions every month from investments my dad made for me. Money is no object.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Claire and Denise\u2019s eyes widened. I continued, \u201cI\u2019ll also buy you a home nearby. You\u2019ll need to help Denise with the kids, so it\u2019ll be important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Claire\u2019s enthusiasm soared. She began discussing her dream beach house and pool, while Denise talked about her ideal kitchen and walk-in closet.<\/p>\n<p>Then, I dropped the bombshell. \u201cYou\u2019ll need to meet my other wives first. They need to approve of you before we move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Claire\u2019s face froze, and Denise\u2019s jaw dropped. \u201cOther\u2026 wives?\u201d Claire stammered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, I have two other wives. I expect you\u2019ll have at least five children,\u201d I said, struggling to keep a straight face.<\/p>\n<p>Denise looked like she might faint. Claire\u2019s shock turned to anger. \u201cFive children? Are you joking?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, not at all,\u201d I said, trying to hide my amusement. \u201cIt\u2019s a full lifestyle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Denise\u2019s voice shook. \u201cWhy didn\u2019t you mention this before?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt didn\u2019t seem relevant,\u201d I said. \u201cBut with all this talk of the future, I thought it was important to be honest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Claire\u2019s indignation was clear. \u201cThis is outrageous!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wasn\u2019t leading anyone on,\u201d I said, standing up. \u201cJust sharing my life. If you\u2019re interested, these are the details.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When the bill arrived, Claire glared at me. \u201cYou\u2019re paying, right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I smiled. \u201cIn my culture, we value independence. I want to give you the chance to show yours.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Their faces were a mix of anger and confusion. Denise grabbed her purse, and Claire\u2019s face turned red.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve got to be kidding!\u201d Denise exclaimed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNope,\u201d I said, placing some cash on the table. \u201cIt was nice meeting you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As I walked away, I heard them scrambling to gather their things. The night air felt refreshing, and I reflected on the bizarre but empowering experience.<\/p>\n<p>The date had been an unexpected challenge, but turning the tables on Claire and Denise was satisfying. Sometimes, giving entitled people a taste of their own medicine is the best way to handle them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Navigating online dating can be tricky, but my date with Denise took an unexpected turn that I\u2019ll never forget.
