In Japan, a man named Yoshio went on 2,000 dates over eight years, trying to find love. Even though he worked hard at it, he couldn’t find the right person. Yoshio has a master’s degree in science and earns a good salary of Rs 20 lakh a year. However, his situation of living with his parents made some people lose interest in him. He also said that many times, after just one date, people would stop talking to him or block him, which made him feel sad.

Turning his struggles into success

Even though Yoshio’s journey to find love was tough, he didn’t give up. Eventually, he found a partner and now has a child with them. His own struggles with love inspired him to start a business called ‘Yoshio Marriage Laboratory.’ Through this business, he gives free advice and help to others who are looking for love.

Yoshio’s story has become very popular on social media. Some people admire his hard work, while others think focusing on his career might have helped him find love earlier. But Yoshio’s story shows that following your heart can lead to surprising and happy results.

These days, many people believe in dating apps instead of meeting in person. The excitement of "love at first sight" seems to be fading. Now, people often meet on social media or dating apps, chat, and then decide if they’re compatible. Love has become more about practicality than the old-school way of falling in love. Dating isn’t always easy, though. Many people get "ghosted," where someone stops talking to them suddenly, or there are fake accounts. So, it’s important to stay safe and careful before making any decisions or swiping right.
