As he was about to pay the bill at the restaurant, so they could go see a movie, he saw a man just randomly sitting across from them. The sight of him made the woman's face turn pale from shock, so the TikToker took the liberty to ask if there was something he needed. "Hey, man. Can I help you?" He said.

But he was not prepared for his response. "Yeah, that's my WIFE," the man said. After a few follow-up questions, he discovered that they had been married for seven years. Just as he was processing the situation, a little girl came from behind and sat on his date's lap, calling her "mommy."

So, in a few minutes, the TikToker found out his date was married and had a child, but as disastrous as it sounds, the day did not end there. He found himself sitting between the couple when the woman ran out of the restaurant.
The TikToker was now left with the sad husband, who couldn't stop crying. After paying for the bill, he decided the best way to cheer the man up was by going to see a movie as he had initially intended.

The two men brought the little girl along, and the husband paid for the movie tickets and the candy, and they all had a great time. At the end of the night, the TikToker asked if he made it home safely, and they stayed in touch. A few months later, he heard that the husband and his former date had gone their separate ways and finalized their divorce.

The TikToker described his friend as a pretty and interesting girl from Boston so it was no surprise, that the ex-husband and her started talking and hit it off.

A year after that incident, the two are still together. The ex-wife knows of the new girlfriend, and she's met their daughter. The parents also have a great co-parenting relationship. The TikToker moved from Boston to Tennessee but still stays in touch with his friend and the ex-husband.
As the TikToker reflects on the unexpected twists of fate that led him to play Cupid, he is shocked that a bad date ended with his friend finding someone she connected with so much that they were working towards building a blended family.
