I’m not interested in blind dates, but the pressure from my family forced me to compromise. So, on that day, I agreed to meet that person at a family restaurant. She was around my age, just a year younger. Before I could greet her, the first thing she said was, "I can’t have children, so if you want kids, please find someone else." Then she turned to leave. I smiled wryly, realizing she was also forced into this blind date. She was about to leave, which should have been a relief for me, but I couldn’t help myself and replied, "It’s fine, I hate kids."

She probably didn’t expect me to stop her, so she paused and turned to look at me with a hint of surprise and suspicion. "I’m not joking," she said seriously.

I also responded seriously, "I wasn’t lying. Kids are loud and annoying—I don’t want them! Besides, my brother and sister are already married with kids, so my parents already have grandchildren; I’m not needed for that."

She narrowed her eyes sharply and glared up at me, as if trying to see through my true intentions. I met her gaze steadily. Her eyes were crescent-shaped, with a hint of dark green in the black. I noticed that her serious expression carried a trace of curiosity, which drew me in. After a moment, she sighed softly and blinked her cat-like eyes, then asked, "Do you like cats?"

I was taken aback for a second, then pulled out my phone. My lock screen was a picture of my cat. Just then, a front-house waiter came over to ask if there were two of us. She nodded, then looked at me, and I nodded as well. We entered the restaurant and began our first date.

"My name is Nora." We reintroduced ourselves. Although the initial conversation was somewhat tentative, the more we talked, the more we liked each other. At the end of the meal, we exchanged contact information and agreed to keep seeing each other, under the condition that we wouldn't pursue other dates. This decision even surprised me, as I had never been interested in settling down, and yet here I was, planning a follow-up to this blind date. My parents were even happier than I was!
