In the program "You want to date", the couple Nguyen Vuong Tam (34 years old, technician of Metro Line 1 HCMC) and Pham Thi Lan (30 years old, office worker from Dong Nai) brought a dating story that is both witty and heartfelt.
Although both are introverted and have few expressions in front of the crowd, their journey to open their hearts became a warm highlight, receiving much encouragement from MC Quyen Linh and Ngoc Lan.
Tam introduced himself as a less talkative, less laughing person, working mainly with machines, so he has no more than 10 people to meet each day. He admitted that he is a "normally very gentle person but when hot, it flares up strongly" type, but did not hide his desire to change to suit his married life later.
Seeing the male guest shy and less laughing, MC Quyen Linh spent more time encouraging Tam to practice smiling, because "smiling is the feng shui of life", making it easier for him to connect in social relationships.
On the girl's side, Lan is a gentle girl who has been studying Chinese for more than a year and a half. She shared that her strengths are cheerfulness and progress, but her disadvantage is shyness in front of the camera. For strangers, she often finds it difficult to open her heart, but when they get to know each other, her personality is cheerful and sociable.
The moment the two sides talked about their old love affairs attracted attention. Tam had experienced a long-distance relationship that lasted nearly 10 years but " met only a few times", and finally broke up because of different future orientations. Meanwhile, Lan had three relationships, the longest of which lasted more than 3 years, but broke up because her boyfriend did not determine the proposal even though she had set a clear deadline. When talking about the view of marriage, Lan wanted to get to know each other for about a year, while Tam thought that 3 to 6 months could be a good idea, depending on the harmony.
When the barrier opened, Tam was still confused but prepared a crystal ball as a gift, while Lan gave him a herbal bag to help him relax. In the conversation, Lan expressed her desire to learn more about IT and develop herself. Tam quickly shared that she has a multi-disciplinary knowledge base, can support her if needed, and revealed her interest in collecting books with a "library of several hundred volumes" at home. Tam's thoughtfulness and inner depth made MC Ngoc Lan evaluate him as a type of person who knows how to care and listen, even though his appearance is not very expressive.
Both of them also have a common view on marriage: sharing housework, talking a lot to bond, and having family meals together. Lan affirmed that even though they are married, they still want to continue working, not just around the kitchen. Tam agreed and believed that family happiness could only last when the two connected regularly in their daily lives.
At the moment of pressing the button, both of them nodded in agreement while the studio cheered.
