Hi everyone. Its very hard to search a partner if you are not in love already. very hard, very hard. My friends, both offline and online( including mylotters) are suggesting me to marry but all are unable to find out one for me.
last sunday, i went to meet a girl who was supposed to be my bride. The girl was searched by a friend and he selected a neutral vanue to meet each other. Hurrrraaaahhhh... i shaved three times and dressed well... perfumed all the body and drove my bike to meet her. oh she is beautiful but she said " i will not marry you because i am already in love but come here as my parents recommended". whats my luck. hurraahhhh.... clap clap clap.... her family was also informed by my friend already.
i think mylot should open an button here like "matrimonial" for some unlucky mylotters like me. What do you think? should applaud my idea.... hehehehe.
No search a bride again. Sometimes i think, i will marry a girl from abroad. anyone ready????????
No offense meant. just a discussion from my latest experience. Share your views.

Hi shiby!
Oh my my my brother.... Why did you clapping?? Never mind I can understand that~'Come here as my parents recommended'??? She should not have to come at all..I feel quite angry because she did not think about your feelings when she said that.
Open a 'matrimonial' button?? I think you should create a new interest with 'Finding partners' as the subject of matter. Anyway the button is a good suggestion too~ But it will make mylot like a matchmaking site. Hey, try again in searching you Mrs.right and register in some matchmaking site will be good too..

Hi hanum.... yes my my my sister.... hmmm... right. If she was hesitated telling the truth to her parents, then at least there was a chance to convey to my friend, right? but she did not do either.
Yes, it will make this site peculiar if "matrimonial" button is added. I just shared my silly thought. hahaha.
Have a nice day.

@ PointlessQuestions
You are not sure about which one friend?? Matchmaking site, 'finding partner' interest and button or the one situation like what shiby did? If its about the situation then I agree with you. It is normal to have first thought, expectation and feeling before we meet someone. It is not wrong to think of any possibility that might and might not happen.
@Shiby
Hmm?? She did not even tell anyone that she has a boyfriend??? Then it was totally her fault. Your friend will not plan a date if he knew about it. Don't worry about that silly thought as I am sure all things we have and invented now were come from many silly thoughts as well!!!
Have a nice day to you too~

I don't know how people find partners like that... I really don't. That had to be disappointing if he really expected to have the girl like him and want to be with him. I don't think she should have come.. that was like giving him a mixed message. That was wrong I think.

I've never ever believes in bride searching all my life because I am a believer and I am trusting the lord, my Heavenly ABBA, for a life partner. I started attending New Creation Church, a mega church in my country, Singapore, and I've seen lots of people being blessed by the lord for a life partner of their choice and whats best is that most of them got married after 2 years of being in a relationship. So that's the reason why I believe so that the lord will somehow bless me with a life partner that exceeds my expectation if I keep on trusting and asking HIM for one.

I'm confused, Do you want to find love and then marry or do you want to marry and then love will come? If you want love then go out and enjoy an activity you like to do and look around, are there ant women enjoying it too/ If so start a friendship. If you are looking to marry, then search out a professional match maker.She/he will take down your traits and match you with a wife. Either way I wish you luck. It is so hard to find someone to love Or marry.

I must confess I don't believe in marriage for myself. I chose love. What you should do is sit down and decide what you want most. I have seen both types of marriages work. I think the key is to agree with your wife Why you are marrying each other. If you arrange it , then you will Know For sure the women chosen Are ready to marry. If you just find a woman to love , she maybe like me, against marriage. But then again she may want marriage just as much as you , You won't know in advance! I can not decide for you. Like I said I have a My Lot member here tell me he and his wife have a arranged marriage and they made it work. And then my honorary Bhai, he and my Bahu eloped. Yes he is Indian and so is she. They went against tradition and met fell in love and married and they are very happy. So it can work but it is up to you, which is Most important, the marriage first or the love?Either way I wish you happiness.

Thanks for your wishes. The story of these two mylotters seems like miracle and it happens seldom. I have also seen a couple married who met each other through facebook. days ago, a married woman from Romania, divorced her hubby and came to my province to meet her online lover. The woman had two kids too... but when she arrived his place, then everything was exceptional and awkward according to her thought and that stupid's confession. So, anyone may be trapped, hence i am thinking what to do or not?
Have a nice day.

Hi sarahruthbeth...
Hmmm... i had no love earlier. So its my time to marry a girl... so what do you think? what should i do? First marry, then love or first love, then marry. From my current situation it will be first love then marry, as far i can think. The second option is right here, a professional match maker and as this person, my friend was also working the same.
Thanks for your wishes. Have a nice day.

Well shibham, your encounter was quite filmy,wasn`t it? Good that you have taken it in the right spirit and with a good sense of humour.I feel that the best thing to do is wait for the right girl to arrive because everything happens at the right time and at the right place.If it is in your destiny then you will certainly meet the one who will marry you but in the meantime get on with your life and let things take their own course.Of course don`t give up and meeting any number of girls for who knows maybe one of them will turn out to be your dream girl.Good luck.

My advice for you is that you do not settle down. That's honestly the worst way to have it. I know so many people who just marry someone that's not that as good as they can get. And I don't mean in terms of looks and vanity, but how well their chemistry is. If you guys aren't comfortable with each other and can't do embarrassing things in front of each other without feeling awkward, then you probably aren't meant to be. And I don't want to say that those are the only two things that should be fulfilled. There should be many more. You should feel good about each other, and you should be able to enjoy each other's company. Don't just settle down and get into a relationship with someone you don't really like that much just so you can stop getting the usual concerns from family members saying that your biological time clock is running out. Guess what? We're serving the author of time. We shouldn't worry about how old we are, but that we find the right person for us. Please, it's about your happiness and your future with someone that you're going to spend the rest of your life with. Just because you're desperate doesn't mean that you have to marry or get into a relationship with someone you barely like. Find someone that's worth the wait. Find someone that you love.

Hi friend...
I have understood your speech. I always consider marriage as a life time commitment. Not only physical chemistry but also mental and spiritual chemistry is also important. Its important that my bride should be in favor of me and vise versa. Its true that my biological time is running but not out, as i think. My parents are ready because they cant bear my hard labor. Apart from it there is no one to take care of my parents as they are old enough and i am the only one to take care. Unfortunately i have to stay whole day away from them due to my job. I go for my job early in the morning and reach home at night. Anything can be happened at my absence. I am worrying about it with full sense.
Thanks for the suggestion. Have a nice day.

Marriage is not a race. I believe that it is done when both are inlove and ready. Love is the most powerful key with trust and loyalty to each other. Love does not happen in just blink of an eye. Don't be too much pressured by your friends, your true love will come at the right time, be patient. Try to look at the girls around you from time to time, maybe she's just waiting for you to notice her.:)

I know dear friend that marriage is not a race. But you know i am 33 here and think that i have no time to fall in love for the first time and frankly i am busy with my profession too.
You have made me romantic dear and i am still waiting for her only for her and hope that she will come here one day to meet me. have a nice day and good night.

How can someone you've never met before break your heart by saying she won't marry you? Why are you so obsessed with "finding a bride" to begin with? Why not just go on a date? Get to know a few girls. Don't expect an instant-wife to just be delivered to your doorstep. Love isn't some miracle that people are just randomly blessed with. It takes getting to know someone. It takes time and effort to meet people and get to know them. See if there is any spark or possibility. Not meeting a girl in the park one day and asking her to marry you.

Then as far as I'm concerned, you either make time or deal with being single. Women are not a commodity to be traded and negotiated. If you don't have the time to get to know a woman as a human being, then you don't deserve a wife.

Hi friend
No, actually not but before meeting her there were some hopes at least which turned pale. thats the point.
Good suggestion but my daily routine never permits me to date a girl right now and my profession does not suit to proceed first. Its very hard to search a girl myself without a mediator. I am unable to express the current situation but do hope that you can guess as well. have a nice day.

hi shibham!
if you are finding it hard to find a partner, why not stay single for a while longer? you have waited this long, what's another year or so? hehe jk!
honestly, i don't think you have moved mountains in search for a bride. but i do think some of your friends had walked the extra mile to search the one for you. however, i do believe that you won't find one unless it is you who are actually in a hard search. she would be your life partner, so you're the only one who'll know who will suit you best... not your friends or whoever else.
boy, you sound so stressed about it... give yourself a break. hehe
i like the girl's honesty. she told you upfront what her feelings is about the matter, but still showed up as a courtesy to your friend and her parents.
i don't think you are unlucky. just imagine that there are people who are stuck in a marriage not to their liking and who wants out.
matrimonial button in mylot... hehe this site might look like a dating site for prospecting. lol i think there are other specific websites for that to fit that kind of need. however, what you can do is start an interest group... and you can be on the leaderboard. something like "marrying shibham" or something hehe
marrying a girl from foreign soil is not a bad idea at all. i thought you are hitting it well with a few mylotters here already.
well goodluck to your search. may you find what your heart longs for. :) :) :)

Hi friend....
I can stay but its the ultimate need from my parent's side. There is no one to take care of my old parents as i stay far long away from home whole the day.
I know but sometimes a friend really works and i have enough evidences of it. Without a middle man an arrange marriage is almost impossible. so, holding someone's hand, we should find the door step and then decision is your.
No dear, i am not stressed as i have not taken any subject seriously earlier.
yes, its true that she is an honest girl and she proved that by confessing.
just a silly idea about that button. I know its impossible. hehehhe.
hahaha... i have already hit. are you sure? can you recognize them?
Thanks and have a nice day.

Hiya shibs,
In your Photo you have a nice stance there. Of course it´s hard to find someone. I was going out with Boys that wanted to marry me the first week I knew them and I kept saying no because I did not love them not one bit.
Yes I am glad the Girl was honest at least she told you but it must have been like a bucket of Cold Water for you as well really.
It´s all very well for me to tell you not to be put off by that incident I am not in your shoes.
However you will find someone when you stop watching for the cooking Pot to start boiling. Take it easy I think I have said that to you before.
Weather is a bit choppy for you at the moment my Friend but the calm waters will come in again and you will be happy I am almost sure of it.
Again a watched Pot never boils take my word for it.
I nearly married someone who could have made my life a complete disaster and my inner self said no don´t do it so I did´nt and everyone else around me was getting married getting big Houses plenty of money the lot.
She is just about to come into your life but don´t watch the Pot waiting for it to boil.xxx Good night shibs and have a great Day and night.xxx

Hi angel...
Thanks for your nice comment on my avatar.
Yes yes yes.... bucket of cold water but you know angel, i was already ready to handle any situation that i was supposed to encounter... but there might had a soft corner who needs something better than it.
I have already decided dear angel not to search a bride anymore. When the proper time will come, i proceed.
I know that you are a very determined lady dear angel and i appreciate your this perception.
Good day and night to you angel.

Hiya shibs,
I can be very determined yes but not always like most of us (grin). Oh well I am glad that you have taken that decision.
Things will iron themselves out for you just let things be as they are for the moment if you can.
I hope you have no more buckets of cold water encounters like that one again. No one deserves that you know.
Just when you least expect it things will start to happen and you will be posting on here that you have met someone just wait and see give it the time that you would not normally give it and it will come to fruition.
Good night then again as it is that time of night again. I am getting to be like Cinderella got to be home before the clock strikes twelve

Hi Shiby,
I almost miss your discussion
Oh well are you in a hurry to marry someone? A friend from Kerala told us last time that some are publishing to the newspapers about Shaadi (marriage) if you really want to have one maybe you can do this or register at shaadi.com, If your friends put an effort so you can meet the love of your life I think you should put an extra effort on it. Besides your friends is not the one who will love the girl it's you there will be no excuses if you really want to pursue something specially if it will make you happy.
Don't considered your self as unlucky one I am single but I don't think I am unlucky one maybe he is just around the globe and it's not the right time for us to meet.
Don't search for a BRIDE search for a LOVE let go of the past make it as a memory whether good or not then learn to move on and appreciate life itself.
happy mylotting

Its okay bhaby...
not so hurry but there is no one to take care of my parents as you know that i stay all the day outside from my home due to my job. Not shaadi.com because its so expensive to have a membership there. here, in case of arrange marriage, a mediator is utmost important... and here my friend was working the same but he did not know the fact that she is already in love.
I am not unlucky because vi have a circle here to share my feelings unless i would consider.
Neither a bride nor a love anymore. Wish to be single. hehehehe
Have a nice day.

this is a tough part of life if you are not in love and haven't thought of marraige since some time and if suddenly you have to decide to marry a person whom you don't know very well its a tough decision mate. this is for sure that if you decide for a arrange marriage you can slowly fall in love with you partner and i you already love somebody then it will make your life much easier to start.

Hi Shibham,
I don't understand, I don't think. You mean you find out you are going to marry a girl you haven't yet met? Isn't that kind of like putting the cart before the horse? You have to meet first and find out if you have a connection and build a relationship and then later ask her to marry you. You both are strangers, so how can anyone plan to marry a complete stranger? I know that cultures are different in different parts of the world, but that would be like me meeting someone on line and planning the wedding before we even met or talked or whatever.
I'm so sorry you have been disappointed. I hope you do find someone you can share your life with and I hope it lasts a lifetime.
@shibham (16977)
• India
25 Jun 11
I know friend... but the system of arrange marriage refers the same as you have said ...the cart before the horse. How can i proceed friend... definitely she will be a stranger first as i have no relationship earlier. So at the first time, she will be a stranger obviously. And its very hard to start a relationship with a stranger without a mediator.
I am not disappointed but learnt a lot... have a nice day.
