Woman Just Wanted To Have Dinner With Blind Date, Gets Stuck With Him In Lockdown

The dating scene has pretty much taken a backseat during the pandemic. The idea of meeting new people who could be the reason who have to do home quarantine is scary. What does not help with the fear is a Chinese woman's cautionary tale about how she got stuck at a blind date's house after a sudden lockdown was imposed.

The incident took place in the Chinese city of Zhengzhou last week where more than 100 cases of COVID-19 were reported. In order to contain the infections, a lockdown was imposed in several parts of the city last Wednesday. The woman was peacefully having dinner at her blind date's house when she realised that she cannot leave as she pleases.

Chinese Woman Stuck With Blind Date In Lockdown:

The woman with the surname Wang was supposed to be in Zhengzhou for just a week-long trip to meet potential suitors. In a way to cope with the peculiar situation, she started making short video blogs on her day-to-day life at her blind date's house. The blogs went so viral that the local media started publishing them. The woman is seen doing regular chores at the stranger's house. Her blogs also feature the man cooking meals for her, working on his laptop and other activities.

The woman told one local media, "I'm getting old now, my family introduced me to ten matches... The fifth date wanted to show off his cooking skills and invited me over to his house for dinner." As far as the video clips are concerned, the duo are hardly enjoying each other's company. Wang said that she would like someone who is a little bit more talkative that her current date. She even called him "mute as a wooden mannequin"

Speaking to a local news company, The Paper, Wang said, "Besides the fact that he's as mute as a wooden mannequin, everything else (about him) is pretty good. Despite his food being mediocre, he's still willing to cook, which I think is great."

So far the Chinese woman has not revealed her age or her blind date's identity in her viral videos. The engagement on her post on Weibo had reached over six million with many hashtags floating on the Twitter-like social media site. The online attention increased so much that Wang had to remove the videos. In a recent video, she said, "Friends have been calling him and I think this has definitely affected his life, so I have taken them down for now." The same video was posted on Tuesday by many Chinese local media organisations.

She is heard saying in the video, "Thanks everyone for your attention... I hope the outbreak ends soon and that my single sisters also find a relationship soon."
