At "You Want to Date", Van Den (48 years old, from Gia Lai) attracted attention with a love story that has been unforgettable for many years. Currently, he lives alone in the house left by his parents. His siblings in the family have all married and have their own lives.
Sharing with MC Quyen Linh and Ngoc Lan, Van Den said that he once had a relationship lasting about 3 years. This is also the only relationship in his life to date.
At that time, Van Den's love story encountered many upheavals. His lover was working at a company, but then her work encountered difficulties and she had to move to Ho Chi Minh City. At the same time, Van Den's parents passed away, making the family's economy difficult.
Geographical distance plus difficulties in life made both decide to break up. It is worth mentioning that after that relationship, Van Den almost did not enter any more relationships.
To date, the breakup has lasted nearly 20 years. When MC Quyen Linh asked about the time after the breakup, Van Den honestly admitted that he once cried and suffered for 3-4 years before overcoming his sadness.
He even cried continuously because of heartbreak. When the story was recalled on stage, Van Den still moved the audience with his sincerity and simplicity.
However, Van Den said that currently, he has forgotten his ex. The lover from years ago is married and has children. The two still maintain good relationships and see each other as close friends. He still sends gifts to his ex's family on appropriate occasions.
He said that he already has his own house and car and is willing to hand over assets and money to the bride's family to keep if appropriate.
On the girl's side, Kim Nhung (41 years old, from Gia Lai) currently lives and works in Ho Chi Minh City with an accounting job. She once had a relationship lasting about a year but broke up due to geographical distance. Kim Nhung does not want to leave Ho Chi Minh City to start work elsewhere.
Kim Nhung admits that her shortcoming is being a bit hot-tempered but knowing how to take care of and share. Meanwhile, Van Den said that his advantage is knowing how to listen, empathize with everyone, can go to the market and cook. He has also prepared relatively stably for married life when he has his own house and work.
At the program, Van Den had a lot of sympathy for Kim Nhung from the first meeting. He admitted that she has beauty and charm that moves him. When he learned that Kim Nhung wanted to continue developing her work in Ho Chi Minh City, Van Den said that he could arrange work to go to the city if they both went further.
However, after a period of chatting, Kim Nhung still has many concerns about the age gap. She wants to find someone of similar age to easily share and be more in tune.
At the decisive moment, both Van Den and Kim Nhung did not press the dating button. Kim Nhung said that she wanted more time to get to know each other, while Van Den also chose to stop and see Kim Nhung as a friend.
MC Quyen Linh regretted that both missed the opportunity. He believes that in love, geographical distance or age are sometimes not barriers if two people are willing to open their hearts and give each other a chance to get to know each other.
After nearly 20 years since his only relationship, Van Den has not yet found a companion. Kim Nhung continues her journey to find someone who is suitable for her current life and work views.
