*Not a rant related to development*

I don't know about you but i cringe at the thought of having parents finding life partner for their son/daughter.

My cousin brother is at this stage of life where his parents and other family relatives search a girl for him.

I'm glad he atleast has a say whether he likes someone they found. But whether he will feel pressured to accept is something that i don't know about.

This is not a particular case of my brother. This is the reality of millions of other guys and girls in my country.

What do you think about this system? How is it in your country?

My thoughts:
I'd rather be single than being okay with this arrangement.

I'm someone who is a geek (but not sheldon level geek) and low key rebel against social / traditional norms with interests and life goals that barely aligned with anyone i ever met in my life. I don't think i can trust anyone else with this major​ life decision. But chances of finding someone on my own is not good either.

    Are you from India?

    You know, it's not usually like that in the rest of the world AFAIK.

    I really don't know what's worse. For some us it's nearly impossible to find a compatible mate for life. Seeing as my love life was nearly nonexistent, I started working on solving it for the past 10 years, and it's brought much disappointment, sorrow and financial loss to my life.

    So sometimes I wish I had been helped in finding someone, and sometimes I wish the engagement would be mandatory and unbreakable.

    As opposed to other people, I never intended to stay single for life, but I just assumed it would arrive at its due time. Problem is, it never did due to my lifestyle and poor social life. So yeah, in my case I wish I had that.

    @ecv80 yep. I understand. Best wishes.

    @busuu agree with your thoughts. I have a lot to work on myself before i can share with another person.
