Chinese young people who "don't date"

Will I die if I don't date?

To date, no research has proven a link between dopamine levels and lifespan. Therefore, not being in a relationship won't make you die young. However, there will be worries. For example, in a recent TV commercial for X-Match, the whole family stares at the protagonist with eerie eyes, and the "Are you married?" greeting sounds like a horror movie soundtrack. Girl, don't be afraid. There will always be half the world that doesn't understand the other half's happiness. If you're single, they'll ask why you're not married; if you're married, they'll ask why you don't have children; and if you have one, they'll ask when you're having a second. So, ignore these discussions from the beginning.

If you don't fall in love today, what will happen tomorrow?

Parents' worries are always so realistic. When you're 25, they start to worry: what will you do when you get old and no one takes care of you? You should know that even the most far-sighted financial experts will wait until you're 35 before suggesting you consider early retirement.

First of all, not being in a relationship today doesn't mean it will be the same tomorrow. With changes in age, environment, and mindset, or perhaps simply being touched by a simple scene, love may quietly arrive. It's perfectly reasonable to fall in love at 25, 30, 35, or 40.

Secondly, everyone is ultimately responsible for their own life. What's sweet to one may be bitter to another. There are different rules for singles and couples. The important thing is whether you truly enjoy and deeply appreciate this kind of life. The world is still beautiful even without romance.

Why don't you want to be in a relationship?

The answer isn't a needle in a haystack. If love has been celebrated throughout history, yet some people consciously distance themselves from it, there must be a reason, and a very obvious one at that.

Homebody

It's true that you can be happy alone.

Procrastination affects life far beyond work; not being in a hurry to date is also a form of procrastination. Girls who can find countless pleasures at home are undoubtedly the most prone to this. Reading, listening to music, doing crafts, browsing various popular social media groups, a comic strip about an unnatural museum, or a bizarre series can keep one entertained all night. Dating… well, that should be interesting too, but I'll wait until I can't find anything more interesting before doing that.

And single-family

Don't waste your time if you haven't met your true love.

Furthermore, single people tend to have a remarkably peaceful and rational mindset. In fact, a significant number of women who appear young, beautiful, and deserving of a relationship in the eyes of others remain single precisely because of this. Survival is difficult; there's simply no extra energy to waste. It's either a matter of striking it rich or giving up and resting. As for needing to have several relationships to understand love? What a joke! What niche genre hasn't been explored in romance dramas?

Single people

The longer it goes on, the less willing I am to compromise with others.

The length of time a person is single is inversely proportional to their motivation to escape singlehood; the longer one remains single, the more likely they are to become addicted to it. This is especially true for outstanding women in today's big cities, where finding a good man is increasingly difficult due to the competitive job market. Meanwhile, their extensive knowledge and wide range of interests make it easy for them to lead a vibrant and fulfilling life. With one side pushing and the other pulling, the one-sided situation becomes difficult to change over time.
