Do you know what a blind date is?（你知道什么叫做“相亲”么？）

In China, when the single young people remain single, their parents get worried and will arrange partners for them to mutually close, because they fear their children are not sufficiently mature enough, so as to find the right partner themselves . I think the parents do this, because they still don't know what love is at their age.  They are eager to break the expectation to the love of their children have of finding a love match. In this respect, these parents are sad.  Their marriages were not made based on love and that is a tragedy. Because they don't know any different, they will impose a similar tragedy on their children. In your country, do you also have a similar situation? Please tell me.

Arranged marriages are not common in England.  However, love matches are not necessarily any more likely to successful.  We have a divorce rate of over 50%.  That said I would hate to think what sort of man my parents would have chosen for me!
