It's hard to come clean about love, especially when you are still not sure about how the other person feels.
Students at Chengdu University of Technology now have a way to express their feelings. They can hire a love messenger to send flowers, love letters or any other presents for them. The fees range from two to 10 yuan, or about a maximum of US$125. If they are successfully paired up, the messenger will charge them 20 yuan, or about US$2.50, as an extra fee.
The matchmaking agency was set up by three senior students at the university. Meng Yang, the organizer, says sometimes they found their classmates were troubled by love, but too shy to come clean about their feelings. They came up with the idea of providing such services to them.
However, their schoolmates have mixed views toward the business. Some think it's very helpful to have such a service so that they can know their loved one's heart. Others think it's improper to provide such services on the campus even though love is not forbidden at universities.
