Lack of dating skills common obstacle hindering many local singles to find love: matching association
Online Edition
THE Shanghai Matchmaking Association will host several matchmaking events this month separately targeting different groups of singles including the elderly and the disabled, it said yesterday.
A free matchmaking event for the middle-aged and senior singles will be held in Xuhui District on December 24 to offer a platform for those who still long for finding a suitable partner, according to the association.
The situation for the older singles is more complicated as they face problems like opposition from children and wounds from failed marriages, but many still long for love, experts with the association said.
The association will also host a free matchmaking event for the disabled on Thursday.
Shanghai Love and Marriage Fair, the city's biggest matchmaking event nicknamed "the 10,000-person matchmaking event," will be held in October next year, according to the association.
The annual event was held in late November this year, attracting more than 14,000 participants, and many single people were found to lack dating skills, which is an obstacle hindering their matchmaking experience, said Zhou Juemin, director of the association.
A man in his late 30s who sought psychological consultation at the scene said he had to start dating after he was 35 due to pressure from his family, but several of his ex girl friends all asked to end the relation and complained he was too boring.
He has few hobbies and has little knowledge on how to maintain a long time relationship, psychological experts with the East China Normal University learned.
Another man who sought help said he easily gave up on a relationship once the girl he pursued did not reply his short messages immediately, and he insisted that his a partner should love him back more than he loves her.
In addition, parents' pressure and intervention also affects many singles' choices, the association said.
