常用应急场景

范例一：Three minutes date

What upsets you?

My parents called. As usual, they reminded me again that I should have a plan to marry by my late 20s.

Easier set them done.

Who should I marry? I have no time to go on a date.

It is not your mother finding one for you?

I will find one myself, of course. I’m a modern girl.

Perhaps you can try the three minutes date, the latest type.

You mean dozens of the opposite sex meet each other for three minutes in a dimly bar serving alcohol, I hate that idea.

No, there is an updated virgin, three minutes video date. I know an online dating website providing such service with a microphone and webcam, you can sigh for it. You can be face-to-face with a guy talking for maximum three minutes.

I don’t think it makes sense. Three minutes is such a short time.

I think you can find out if there is a possibility of romance within the first second of meeting someone, so-called love at first sight.

Anyway, I don’t want to post my face up for sale on the internet like that.

Don’t worry. There are many other options using the internet as dating methods. Some sites operate at international standard even have got certifications.

Of course, for these sites, you have to pay a membership fee. But all in all, it is more serious and professional. The chance of meeting a good and serious person who does not play games is higher.

I don’t want to post my personal information on the internet. I’m not knowing who is reading it.
