I think , it's not about just male or female or against any particular gender ... I am sure , when it comes to find a match for a serious relationship , you guys also feel the same trust issues like we girls do , about Online Dating...
It's about the Trust upon the Online Dating Sites working process and policy...
Due to cable network reforms , I've stopped watching TV this days.. I don't like their present network policy... Before that , I mostly liked to watch crime , comedy , informative (discovery/nat geo etc.) And news ...
May be because , since childhood , we are programmed to "Respect Elderly" people ... Why ? Because as per general perception , with increasing age , our experience , knowledge and capability to make the right choices , are supposed to increase... We have this almost unquestionable idea that , older people always make right decisions because older people always know better than younger ones...
So Since childhood it became a prestige issue to us to maintain that "Ideal" status of our AGE !!! May be that's why and how it is...
In my experience , elderly people are usually counted as saint , and young ones going against their elderly , considered as sin...
Exactly !!! Why elderly parents or relatives find it their job to act like cupid !!!
Actually even if there would have been a little chance of a relationship to began , but by interfering as a matchmaker , they destroy that chance in the beginning ...
Let it be as it is... Why become anxious about other people's relationship status !!!
Not very new trend though... I'm noticing it for past few years !
Personally I think , It's easier to say NO to the candidate directly ... Than to someone as a representative , with whom you have to maintain a professional or formal relationship or have to engage into family gathering...
Specially saying NO on the face of an elderly person (like the parent or close relatives of the candidate) can feel really uncomfortable at times...
Ummm... I'm not sure if the same thing is happening with Muslim Girls/Boys too.. As I never interacted with any Muslims about this issue..
But I think it's most likely not about Religion though.. It's more about the social behaviour patterns ... Yes .. You can say it's a cultural issue.. But not exactly the Typical culture ... As the Grooms family approaching the Girl first directly instead of Her Family or Guardians , is a new trend I'm observing !!!
Actually here it happens a bit differently... I mean , the family or someone as the representative of the potential groom approaches the Girl directly ... They first insist the Girl to know if she is ready to give it a chance , then next they will meet the Girl's family with the proposal .. I mean , here the proposal people bring on behalf of someone else.... It's the current trend of matchmaking process here..
Yes it could work.. But the Goal should be something very tough to achieve .. Like , Becoming an astronaut or a Billionaire or at least the CEO of a MNC !!!
Otherwise relatively easy Goals may not prevent the attack for long time !! They will find some excuse to bypass your Goals...
Well... If you are single , then creating an imaginary boyfriend may help you temporarily , but on the long run it will become an unnecessary headache as you would have to constantly create more and more lies and will need to keep track of all those lies... So it may not be a good idea in real life ...
And even if you really have a boyfriend , still , just having a boyfriend won't help much unless you are Officially Engaged for Marriage...
Let's say , it may work for your workplace or neighbours at the moment , they may step back instantly , but , they will keep an eye on you... And when they will find you still Unmarried after 6 month or 1 year , they will come back again and this time more persistent by saying , "Ok , so what if you have a boyfriend ! You are not married or officially engaged yet ! No harm to explore other option in that case !"....
And If you have a boyfriend and you have told that to your family and friends , then that might be the biggest mistake you have done... As your family and relatives will become more anxious after knowing about your boyfriend and would make your life a Nagging Hell to get Married with your BF as soon as possible ....
How To Refuse Unwanted/Nonsuitable Marriage Proposal Without Hurting Their Feelings ???
In my area , it used to be considered very odd , if a person (specially Girls) remains Unmarried after being adult (for whatever reason)... And generally people find it as their Sacred Duty to help such person (specially Girls) to get Married as soon as possible...
But the problem is , Though their overall intention may be really noble , but the Proposal they bring , May Not be very Suitable often...
And there it becomes really Awkward to Refuse them directly on their face , specially when you may have to deal with them personally , on regular basis !!! For example , When the proposal comes from your Boss at Workplace , or your Coworkers , or your very Close Relatives and Friends , or even your Next Door Neighbour !!!
So I am looking for all your suggestions and opinions regarding this matter... Have a nice time y'all...
I just had a very uncomfortable dream.. I saw a Flood.. I saw water all around me , everywhere , I was on a higher platform , seems like a Lighthouse or something like that.. It was day time , sun light everywhere ... There were other people too... We all were talking about how the water level was increasing more and more... I was pointing towards the tall coconut trees and was saying to others , "Look !!! Those tall coconut trees has been completely drowned under flood water !!!" ...
I was feeling really discomfort in my sleep while seeing this Dream , though in my dream I was in a safe place myself !!!
Can someone explain what could be the real meaning of this dream underneath !!??
