In the world of blind dates, everyone has their own expectations and requirements, but sometimes, reality relentlessly unveils the fig leaf of everything. I recently took over the blind date needs of a girl, Xiaofang, who is 25 years old and seems full of confidence, but she has experienced a realistic awakening in a blind date.
At first, Xiaofang worked as a customer service in an e-commerce company after graduation, with a monthly salary of only 3,000 yuan. Her appearance is ordinary, and her family is also average, but her parents expect her to find a man with good conditions, a car, a house, and savings. Xiaofang had previously been in a relationship that lasted for 3 years, but eventually broke up due to the huge bride price requirements of her boyfriend's family. She decided that an unresponsible man was not worth living with him, so she accepted her parents' request.
I couldn't help but sigh at Xiaofang's opinion, her requirements seemed too idealistic, but it also made me start looking for a man for her who met her requirements.
The man, Mr. Wang, 35, holds a management position in a company with a monthly income of up to 20,000 yuan, owns real estate and a car. Although he was once married, his wife tragically passed away, leaving behind a 3-year-old son. Mr. Wang hopes to find a caring young girl who is willing to accept his past and son.
When Xiaofang and Mr. Wang met for the first time, I thought they would be polite first, but Xiaofang directly asked Mr. Wang if he had real estate. This question made Mr. Wang slightly embarrassed, but he honestly answered that there was a two-bedroom, one-room house. However, Xiaofang immediately said that the house was too small for future life. She began planning for their future lives, including children, parents and relatives, all needing a larger three-bedroom house.
With the other party's monthly income of 20,000 yuan, Xiaofang became excited and confidently said that she would be in charge of the family economy. She plans to spend 10,000 yuan a month, of which 5,000 yuan will be used for living expenses and another 5,000 yuan will be used for her children's education.
Mr. Wang's face gradually became ugly, and he seemed to want to speak, but Xiaofang kept talking, as if everything was under her control. This embarrassed me for Mr. Wang and worried about Xiaofang's confidence.
Eventually, Mr. Wang couldn't stand it anymore and angrily accused Xiaofang of being too confident and thinking she was too idealistic about her family and financial plans. He told her that family matters should be decided by husband and wife, not by one party alone. Then, he dropped the sentence and left without looking back.
Looking at Mr. Wang's back, Xiaofang fell silent, tears in her eyes. She asked herself questions and began to reflect on her actions. This experience made her deeply realize the cruelty of reality, and I regretted it. But perhaps, this is an opportunity for her to grow.
I am convinced that everyone should be self-reliant and not overly dependent on others.
