Risky, but not always bad
Many think that there is no need to turn down such an opportunity to meet a possible "good date." If both parties have been reluctantly dragged into such an awkward situation to placate well-meaning friends, it may turn out fine.
He Xiu, a woman who got lucky on a blind date set up by her boss, revealed that only after a short period of dating did her employer start to express wishes to attend the wedding ceremony.
"Luckily it went well, otherwise I would've had to be honest with him and things could have gotten weird," said the woman, who eventually married the man introduced by her boss.
Many agreed with He, saying that if the dates fail to end well, the matchmaking boss should be informed with honesty.
Relationship consultant Gong Haiyan, who works with one of the most famous dating sites in China, Jiayuan.com, explained that it's better to keep a safety zone between personal life and work.
"You should never complain about how difficult it is to find someone, otherwise the boss will try to introduce you to someone. If you have already put yourself into the picture, you must be prepared for the awkwardness," she suggested.
