An Ahmedabad man’s light hearted dating experience has captured the internet’s attention after he shared a humorous account of how a simple Bumble match unexpectedly turned into what felt like a job interview, a marriage proposal, and a brand collaboration all at once.
Taking to LinkedIn, the man, identified as Umang Rana, narrated the incident, which began with a perfectly ordinary chat.
“So I matched with someone on Bumble. Normal match, normal chat, normal ‘where are you from’ energy. We talked for a day. Next morning, her Mom calls me. Yes. Her mother,” Rana wrote. He added that the woman’s mother immediately got to the point, telling him, “Beta, I heard you do writing and marketing humare office ka page sambhal loge?” He initially thought he had misheard her, but the conversation only became more amusing as she continued, “Beta you seem sincere and unmarried we can negotiate both things.”
Rana wrote that at this moment he genuinely could not tell whether he was being interviewed for a role, assessed for marriage, or considered for a family marketing partnership.
A mother, a daughter, and one confused Bumble match
Sharing more of the encounter, Rana wrote, “The girl texted me later: ‘Sorry my mom is extra. Ignore her.’ Her mom texted me again: ‘Beta, do you take advance payment?’ My own mom saw the Truecaller name and said, ‘Talk nicely. Could be a good client.’ Now I don’t know who I’m dating. The daughter? The mother? Or the brand?”
