when all your Asian relatives start asking about why you don't have a boyfriend yet and your parents start making jokes that maybe you'll have to live with them in old age....
I went on a date for the first time in my life at the age of 21, as an attempt to enter the world of love and relationships. It was an online blind date through zoom, organised by Asian societies at the University of Cambridge, where I am currently a student. In this video, I:
00:14 introduce the independent and love-free life I have had as a person who has never even romantically held hands with anybody
03:39 awkwardly try to fill in a google form about what I look for in a potential significant other, only to find out that I don't have a type (unless it's BTS Kim Namjoon) and so just end up struggling
10:53 get my match, and fail to stalk my blind date on social media (I found the wrong people on Facebook and Instagram)
12:17 am indecisive about whether or not I should contact them, decide not to but it turns out that he emails me 1 week later and so we arrange to talk on zoom
12:57 went ON the zoom blind date, except I ended up watching a lecture for about half an hour instead because his class overran
15:04 describe my first date experience
17:00 then finally decided that the probability of me getting a boyfriend has always been so low because I have terrible work-life balance and worry about possibly becoming a crazy cat lady when I get older
20:06 and it was also my 21st birthday at the time of filming.
I've never really had any romantic experience (been forever single, never dated, never had a boyfriend and all that) so I thought this would be interesting to do. I kind of attributed this lack of experience to the fact that I've generally just focused on studying throughout my high school and university years and essentially didn't have much of a life outside of work. Very sad I know (but also very true). To be honest, I don't really mind that I'm single at the moment, it's just that I'm going to have to start thinking about love etc. at some point and so I guess here it is in this video.
Also, I've been studying remotely from my house in Thailand for an entire year because of the coronavirus, so I don't have many social interactions and so it was a nice way to meet people anyway :) If anyone would like to offer any love/relationship/dating/life advice, please feel free to leave a comment below!!!
ok just going to leave this here running away now BYE
I should be really working or just generally sorting my life out, but I already spent time making this video instead so HERE IT IS going to write essays now see you later :/// (which I guess just summarises the whole point of this video)
find me on instagram @naproud
PS This description is extremely long because I heard that the youtube algorithm is able to make better recommendations if there are more words? So here is basically an entire essay on what the video is about.
