A woman in China had a blind date backfire recently when she invited dozens of her relatives along to the candle-lit dinner to test her love interest's generosity.

According to local reports, the woman allegedly showed up to the romantic dinner for two with 23 family members, turning the occasion into something of a rowdy banquet.

But while the occasion was intended to be a test of how generous her date was, the risky gamble didn't quite pay off, as she was left footing the £2,300 bill after her would-be companion fled the restaurant upon receiving the bill - understandable, to be honest.

The unnamed woman had gone on the date in eastern Chinese province Zhejiang with a 29-year-old known as Mr Lui, local newspaper Taizhou Evening News reports.

All of the expensive dishes and alcohol the relatives had gorged on added up to 19,800 (£2,291) extra onto the evening, but eventually the woman had to take care of it herself.

Reports say the duo were able to reach an agreement that meant Mr Liu would pay for a small part of the meal, but that the bulk of the cost had to be shared among the woman and her family.
