Blind date is a traditional way of marriage and love, which is highly respected by many families. However, for some singles, going on a blind date can become an off-putting experience.
Blind dates are often arranged by the family, which makes people feel that they have lost the right to choose independently. We hope to find true happiness in love rather than being forced to accept family arrangements. Blind dates make us feel like products are being put on shelves, waiting for buyers to choose.
Awkward and closed-off situations often occur during blind dates. Two strangers sat together, with no common topics and could only communicate reluctantly. It is difficult for such a blind date to produce real emotional resonance, let alone cultivate a deep emotional foundation.
Furthermore, blind dates often give people a sense of stress and anxiety. We worry about whether we meet the other person's requirements and whether we can leave a good impression on the other person. When getting along in this tense state, it is difficult to show your true self and truly understand the other person.
Some embarrassing problems in blind dates are also difficult to accept. Family background, financial status, educational background, etc. have all become the criteria for judging, while the feelings and tacit understanding between each other have been ignored. This utilitarian way of dating makes it difficult to cultivate true love.
Although we are disgusted by being arranged by our families for blind dates, we must also understand the parents’ good intentions. They want us to find a good partner and live a happy life. Blind date is a traditional way for them, and they believe that this can better ensure the stability and happiness of marriage.
However, as parties, we should also have our own right to choose. We hope to find true happiness in love rather than being forced to accept family arrangements. We need time to understand ourselves and find a partner that suits us.
If we don’t like this method of blind date, we can communicate with the parents and put forward our own ideas and opinions. We can tell them that we hope to find love through our own efforts, rather than passively waiting for a blind date.
Of course, we cannot completely deny the value of blind dates. Sometimes, blind dates can also bring us some unexpected surprises. In a blind date, we may meet someone who has similar interests and personality as us. Such opportunities are rare, and we should seize the opportunity to get to know each other and see if we can develop true feelings.
The antipathy in singles’ dating stories is understandable. We hope to find true happiness in love rather than being forced to accept family arrangements. But at the same time, we must keep an open mind and not reject the method of blind date, because it may bring us unexpected surprises.
