Hahaha yeh I guess that's partly true..
My parents have been trying to get me married off since I was 15 lol
one after the other I turned down the proposals coz first I wanted to study and then I wanted to study some more. :p in Pakistan, traditionally the kids r expected to have an arranged marriage. Recently though, there have been numerous love matches. Even in my clan.
When I was young, my dad totally frowned upon the idea of a love marriage, of course I totally adored it! Lol
Somehow the men I did fall for, u know the story, were cowards n they never reached the destination.
I wasn't the only one who turned down the arranged proposals, my dad did too since he didn't like any who came calling.
Now though, after having been through a wringer emotionally.. Trying to follow my heart and all.. I'm kind of tired and wary of finding love.. I want to.. I really do.. But I don't have the strength to put myself out there emotionally and so I've sort of decided that I will settle for an arranged match that my parents would approve of. Of course I'll get to meet n approve the guy too.
The funny thing is, that my dad is desperate enuf to get me married n will now accept me bringing home a love match if its a respectable family.lol ironic. Now I can't seem to find any one..
I do have hopes of finding a matt or Clayton or even a Michael
but I have more hopes of HiM finding me now...
But no way will I get married to just any one for the sake of getting married. He still has to pass at least the basic criteria list of mine and my parents :p hahahahaha
The pressure though.. It's ughhhh stifling.., coz at every one of my cousins weddings, the old biddies of the 'ton' would cluck and say... May God bless u with a match too and soon.. your time will come too...And I'm like arghhhhhh they really make me feel ancient! :p
