There are many wonderful things about getting into a relationship with someone for the first time, but it has its downsides as well. For one, it’s not just your new love that you have to impress — you’ve got to get on the good side of friends and family, too. Assuming you’re a decent person and they aren’t mean or crazy, this shouldn’t be too difficult to do. However, that doesn’t mean that you get let off the hook completely. One unfortunate guy found this out the hard way when he went to eat dinner the friendship group of his new girlfriend. They decided to psych him out by insisting on taking the Pledge of Allegiance before eating, with the results of the prank posted on TikTok. Viewers were certainly tickled by the devious joke, although some wondered why he had played along so nicely. At least he got told about it in the end.
