The program "You Want to Date" this time is a dating story between Mr. Pham Van Vinh (38 years old, from Thanh Hoa) and Ms. Hoang Thi Hanh (38 years old, living and working in Hanoi) that has attracted the attention of the audience with her frankness, maturity and serious spirit when talking about marriage and family.
Right from the introduction, groom Pham Van Vinh shared that he used to have a family and two children. The eldest child currently lives with his mother, the youngest child lives with his paternal grandparents in Quang Ninh. After more than two years of divorce, he said that he had spent a lot of time looking back at his old marriage, frankly admitting that his biggest mistake was focusing too much on work, lacking care for his family. "Recognizing that, I thought I could change if I had the opportunity to enter a new relationship," he said.
Meanwhile, bride Hoang Thi Hanh surprised everyone when she said that although she is 38 years old, she has never had an official dating relationship. She considers herself to be quite demanding in love, setting high criteria when looking for a partner because she wants a long-term, sustainable relationship. According to Ms. Hanh, being too focused on communication work, often going on business trips, working weekends also makes her chances of dating less.
In the sharing about strengths and weaknesses, both showed the maturity of people who have gone through many stumbles. Mr. Vinh said that he lives emotionally, wishing for a peaceful life, no longer competing. Ms. Hanh highly appreciates honesty and responsibility, but also frankly admits that she is an emotional person, sometimes easily revealing thoughts that make others misunderstand.
One of the points that the audience is interested in is Ms. Hanh's point of view when facing the fact that the groom's family already has two rieng children. Before MC Quyen Linh's question, she said that she is not too strict about having a large family, even saying that "the larger the family, the happier". However, she also clearly stated personal principles such as not accepting alcoholic and tobacco-addicted partners and wishing for mutual respect in married life.
For his part, Mr. Vinh expressed his desire to build a true new family, willing to share housework, cook, take care of the family, and if there is a predestined relationship, he also hopes to have more children together. Before Ms. Hanh's concern about where she will live in the future, Hanoi or Thanh Hoa, Mr. Vinh said that he is willing to be flexible, even not afraid to be a son-in-law, as long as the two people have consensus and respect for each other.
After a period of chatting, exchanging views on life and future orientation, the two made the decision to press the button to agree to date. The moment of holding hands on stage received many wishes from the MC and studio audiences.
