Are people still going on blind dates these days?

The other day, I had a topic about how women need a career to have confidence, and after reading everyone's replies, most of them thought that women need a job to have confidence. Actually, I know why. My older sister, who is 35 years old, has a successful career and has saved up quite a bit of money. However, she's still not married, or rather, she's not single but involved with a married man, which everyone calls being a "third party" in a relationship. Our parents are unaware of this, so recently, our family suggested that my older sister go on a blind date with a man from our hometown. He had worked in Beijing for several years, achieved success in his career, and wanted to invite my sister out for a meal. My older sister has always been laid-back and straightforward, so she immediately refused our parents' suggestion to go on a blind date. I felt worried for her because she's passing up the opportunity to settle down with a great partner, choosing instead to be a "third party."

Later, my older sister told me that she had considered blind dates before but didn't like the experience. She found it awkward and uncomfortable. She mentioned that in this day and age, going on blind dates to find a spouse felt embarrassing. I know that my older sister has missed out on many past relationships, with each one ending in breakups, and over time, she focused on building her career. Now that she has some achievements in her career, she enjoys her freedom and doesn't want to invest too much emotion or responsibility into a relationship, even if it means being a "third party."

So, here's my question: Is going on a blind date embarrassing? Personally, I think it can be a positive way to meet someone, especially when two people who have never met before come together due to fate. Of course, just because you go on a blind date doesn't mean you have to get married. You can go with the flow, see if you like the person, and if not, you can always become regular friends and expand your social circle. Nowadays, many young people are so busy with their careers that they neglect finding a partner. That's why I think blind dates can be a good option and shouldn't be seen as embarrassing. Overall, I believe the benefits of blind dates outweigh the drawbacks! What do you all think?

If you want to give it a try, go ahead. Meeting more people and getting to know them can help you see how you feel, and who knows, you might find someone you really like.
