I was 26 years old this year. After I graduated from university, people around me were like matchmakers and were enthusiastic about introducing good men to me. Every time they introduced a man, they said it was a perfect man. But when I actually met the other party of the blind date, I was always disappointed because those "matchmakers" weren't telling the truth at all.
Through those blind dates, I met some weird people, such as a stingy man, a pretentious man, a bragger, a selfish man, a timid and silent man, and so on.
Therefore, after having a few blind dates, I became a little reluctant to it.
When I just sat down, Janet started introducing us to each other.
"Lydia, this is my good friend, Cecil Bainbridge. I told you about him before. He is now working at his family's company and is two years older than you. He's young, promising, and very outstanding."
I looked at the man next to Janet. Cecil had a good appearance and was well-dressed. What was a little surprising to me was that he looked like he had a good temper.
I thought incredulously, Such a good man is still single? Does he have no admirers at all? How's that possible? Is he really my blind date? Me?
But I kept the doubts in my heart and didn't say anything. I just smiled and nodded at Cecil.
Janet turned to introduce me to Cecil enthusiastically.
"Cecil, my cousin, Lydia Flint, is also very capable. She has been a good student since she was a child. She's very cute, and her parents love her very much."
Hearing this, Cecil looked at me seriously and politely nodded at me.
Honestly, I had a good first impression of Cecil.
Janet said that she had known Cecil for a long time, and they had a good relationship. They often hang out together.
I didn't often see Janet, but I knew that she liked showing off. However, I had never heard of Cecil from her before.
Throughout the dinner, Janet was constantly speaking. She was used to being the center of attention wherever she went. After all, almost everyone liked to listen to her.
Every smile and gesture of a beauty was charming, especially when the beauty knew how to speak beautifully. Janet tried her best to match me with Cecil at the dinner, sometimes saying that we were a perfect match, and sometimes saying that we were her closest friends and family. It looked like she really hoped that Cecil and I could be together.
