Nowadays, young people always talk about waiting for true love and would rather be alone than make a bad choice. However, they do not truly understand the meaning of the saying "men should marry when they grow up, and women should get married when they are old enough." In the past, marriages were arranged by parents and matchmakers. Whether couples were in love or not before marriage, they still lived happily and harmoniously after marriage. Why is that? Weren't our grandparents' generation all married through arranged marriages or child betrothals? Why were they so happy? You can first get to know each other, then get married, and fall in love later. Feelings can be slowly nurtured over time. What is true love? A happy married life is true love and real happiness!
In life, we always miss familiar strangers one after another. After getting hurt, we continue to love. As for dating, there are only two outcomes: being together or parting ways. After separation, we continue to search for so-called true love. People have many sides; we act differently in front of elders, friends, boyfriends/girlfriends, and parents. The child in front of their parents is the most real version of themselves. They say that people in love are fools. But how many people in love can truly see through their partners? Therefore, there are great risks involved in the pursuit of happiness. This is where the valuable experience of the older generation comes into play. Our parents and grandparents have lived more than half of their lives. In their words, "I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice" and "If you don't listen to the elders, you'll suffer sooner or later." Many young people sneer at the word "blind date," even fearing it.
What's wrong with arranged marriages by parents? The ancients invented the term "marriage," while modern people invented the term "divorce." Why do many post-80s flash marry and quickly divorce? Why has the divorce rate increased significantly today? Isn't it free love? Haven't they all moved on to happiness? Why does such a divorce situation still occur? The reason is simple: people in love tend to show off too much in front of their partners, packaging themselves as perfect lovers. However, real married life reveals their true colors. With firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea, once the era of romance is over and ordinary, mundane life begins, often people leave because they cannot tolerate certain habits or behaviors of their partner. On the other hand, people introduced by parents are usually well-known and understood by the older generation. After thorough communication with their children, formal meetings will take place. So this is another major advantage of "blind dates," which effectively eliminates unfavorable factors in marriage.
Moreover, blind dates do not mean that you must get married or start dating the person you meet. The ultimate decision-making power is still in your own hands. Blind dates can be seen as a good way to make friends. In your single life, you can meet people of similar age and conditions. Nowadays, blind date trends are popular on various websites and TV stations, and many people actively participate, right? Isn't there also a saying that having more friends means having more opportunities? Even if you don't find the person suitable, and feel no chemistry, just consider it as making a new friend. Using blind dates as a way to make friends is also a good choice.
Therefore, summarizing all the above points, the author believes that blind dates are safer and more reliable than waiting for the next happiness. What prince charming, what lucky princess? Find a good person, live a stable life, work hard for the family, that's the proper thing to do. There are no fairy tales in this world. Single friends, take action now!
