For one woman in China, a blind date went from a casual outing to a days-long commitment.
Prior to her arrival, the city had been experiencing a rise in COVID-19 cases, with over 100 reported cases since last week, according toCBS News. To try and contain the spread of the virus, the city went into a sudden lockdown — leaving Wang trapped at her date’s home under COVID-19 protocols.
“Just after I arrived in Zhengzhou, there was an outbreak and his community was put under lockdown and I could not leave,” Wang told Chinese outlet The Paper, per CBS News.
She explained to the Shanghai-based publication that she had been visiting Zhengzhou on a planned week-long trip where she was set to meet other dates as well.
“I’m getting old now, my family introduced me to ten matches,” Wang told the outlet. “The fifth date wanted to show off his cooking skills and invited me over to his house for dinner.”
While being unexpectedly stuck with her date for multiple days, Wang chronicled the experience online in a series ofvideosposted to social media. In the clips, Wang shared footage of her unnamed date cleaning, cooking meals like tomato and scrambled eggs, and doing work on his laptop, according to CNN.

Her updates soon became popular online, and she began to trend on Chinese social media platform Weibo, per CNN.
Although he may not be right for her, Wang pointed out that her date does have a number of positive qualities.
“Besides the fact that he’s as mute as a wooden mannequin, everything else (about him) is pretty good,” she told The Paper, per CBS News. “Despite his food being mediocre, he’s still willing to cook, which I think is great.”
