Hi everyone...
All of my cousins are either married or in a relationship. Me and one elder cousin brother is still unmarried. My parents are searching a bride for me. Basically they are searching through horoscopic match and its becoming the cause of "no bride". Now they are become quiet normal on such match where as i dont believe horoscope too. Yesterday, my uncle told that our younger cousins where as were able to find their love then why we both were unable? Mom told that they had no problem if i was already in love and set the marriage. But unfortunately i was far long away from girls on my life.
So, now my parents really need a Daughter in law but they have not found yet and ask me to find out one. Is it easy to fall in love or find a bride myself? I think "no". So, should i have a poster on my chest as "I am a single. Marry me".
what do you want to share here? Or if you were me?

That is a really tricky situation you got yourself into. Now a days its really difficult to get a bride as the ratio of number of girls to boys is very less in India thanks to girl child killings. However if you need to find a girl that by yourself then I guess you need to approach your friends who are girls and ask them if they know anyone who is single. Also you can approach your colleagues to find out if they know anyone who are looking for a matches for their daughters. You need not flirt and make someone fall in love with you to find a girl you can approach your colleagues to find out if they anyone who are looking for a guy.

Hi gopi...
you have raised a serious but real truth. The girl child killing, it may be a reason that on matrimonial sites there are more guys than girls. Well, i have informed all of them as you have mentioned months ago, but now feeling that its really hard to marry or love.
Have a nice time.

Then I guess you need to wait as you have tried almost all the possible things. Thanks to our parents generation we are not left with girls to marry. I heard that in North India the ratio is even worse. Anyway I wish you all the best in your search for your better half and hope that you find her soon.

hi shibham if I were you I would not let your parents pick out a bride for you,. thats not good,you search and meet girls and one day soon you will meet the girl the one who looks at you and you look at her and think oh my G od I am going to marry this girl. she will be the mom of my children, I have to talk to her and she will be thinking almost the same thing, love at first sight it happened to me and it will happen to you too.wait and see, it will shock you and stun you but it will also make you so happy. I was married to Mr Hatley for 33 years happy years too.

Hi hatley...
Thats the worst point of mine that i hesitate to talk with girls and maintain a distance. Although, i am not the same in virtual world but in real world i am completely different. I know that you are highly happy with your married life and i do wish the same forever. I think i should visit your place to fix a love.
Have a nice time.

Ummm, excuse me for asking the obvious but do you WANT to marry someone?
If you're not really that interested, it's no one's business but your own. There's nothing wrong with being single and there's no reason you should go out looking for someone to marry just to please the people around you.
All my brothers are married. I'm not. So what?
Deliberately hunting for someone to marry is a recipe for disaster. Don't do it. Just be happy as you are. It'll happen naturally.

No offense but that's even worse. Knowing the reason and still pressuring you into something you evidently don't want to do is just adding fuel to the disaster-fire.

Blame it all to the cruel Indian society.
You know every Indian guy is trapped into thinking that if he is reaching 30's and is still unmarried then there is something wrong with him. Its because of the old ideology which our parents implant in us. People in our society are so irritating and don't have any other work apart from poking or buzzing others or peeping into whats happening in other's house. Reaching the age of 30 and being unmarried still is like a crime in our culture.
The same thing goes on with the young graduates like me who are applying for a job. Your neighbors will come running to get the latest updates of your life and when you tell them that you are still searching for a job they'd simply say " Oh.. its sad.. but you know Mrs..... kid was selected in campus recruitment and has a package of 3.5 you know...."
And when asked what's campus selection they dont know a thing about it.. but they won't hesitate from using big and trendy words like campus placement and incentive....
The category of your problem is different but the root cause is the same I believe...
Your parents are worried too... (not because there's any things wrong with your or you have some criminal record.. haha...pardon me.. :)) but just cause all of your cousins are married.
I believe you should marry when you feel ready to settle down and start your own family. You should not only be independent but also capable to support and fulfill your family's needs.
Don't worry.. there would be some one out there for you... you just have to go out there and find her... It may take some time but if you be patient, you'll definitely find your perfect match...

Hi there..
many many thanks for your writings.
I am a professor having a good salary and thats why parents are seeking a bride for me. I had only one sibling as a sister who got married last year so here we are only three, I have to stay on my job place for more than four days in a week and moreover my mom is a patient of neurology.
Hope you have understood my condition. have a nice time ahead.

hmmm.. So thats what the problem is...
Ok.. I get it.. I guess you should start searching for a bride right now...
Go check the local matrimony sites and make a few contacts with those match making pandits...
Dont worry you'll find a perfect bride for yourself pretty soon..

Hi Shibham ! Since it is your life and fortunately or unfortunately you have just one life you should take a good move in getting married . If you are really interested you may register with some matrimonial sites . Take time to choose , meet in person and then take the final decision to tie the knot . I have seen people succesfully getting married like this . Otherwise who can also approach offline matrimonial agencies and seek their help .
If all goes well don't forget to invite me ;-D

If you are not able to find someone you could love then you are not ready for a relationship (and marriage is much more as a relationship).
You can try a t-shirt with: Please marry me! on your chest or back but I wonder if you would marry the first one you meet. I think you will meet many girls/women and there is less chance you like them. In 21 years I met plenty of men who wanted to marry me but as I thought of a life with them ... :-(
Anyway it's worth the try and if it makes your parents feel better write down the horoscope you are looking for. Who knows you will make some great friends with lots of humour.

Why kitty? if i am unable to find someone then why i am not ready? any reason? its not my fault that i have not found my choice.
Well, although i have made a little fun here but i am serious on this issue. I am not so hurry to marry but parents are so much hurry as i have to live on my rent house alone most often and take food on outside. they are actually seeking a support to me from all sides.
have a nice time.

there are ways in finding a woman of your life. but first you must be disposed in meeting her. that means you are going to meet her for the good reasons of knowing her and treating her right. it is not directly for marriage. and please do not look desperate. look happy so that women will be attracted to you. wish you good luck.

Come on,in order to get into relationship first you must have to change yourself in order from "introvert" person to "extrovert" person and try to sell yourself more in term of socialize more with your friend,approached your colleague or whatever friend to know each better and eventually you will find your couple naturally.
By the way,try to avoid using parents request as your excuses to approached your couple because most of the girl will just think that marriage are just to full fill your parents request rather than your own willingness.Trust me,most of the girl will try keep a distance away from this kind of circumstance.
Instead of posting here for solution,why don't you spend more time on socialize more with your friend and i do believe you will managed to get your couple eventually.
Just my single cents.Hope you don't mind if i am too straight forward.
Thanks :)
p.s We all are born with a couple by our god its just depend on ourselves whether choose to approached our another half or not.

well I don't know how old are u, but my elder brother is in the same boat as u..he is 42 and no bride for him...even though there r lots of so called horoscope matched girls....but generally girls above 35 yrs are not willing wholeheartedly to get married and form a family etc...they like the single status and r enjoying all the freedom...even my parents are searching for their DIL but alas they fail each time they stumble upon a matched horoscope, ok leave out the horoscope...even then girls ask lot of questions and finally say "no"...don't know for what reasons....my brother is little bald but that's not the reason for telling "no" as many girls say this for escaping many other questions....lets wait and see whether 2012 is lucky for u and my brother...all the best !!!

Hi durgabala...
I am Shibham Prashar, age 33.
you know, i had a counter with a girl choose by my friend. Before asking to her, she begin ton enquire about my earnings, hobbies and all those stuffs. I am born in a village and like village life although i have built a house on town but she told me that she wishes to live in city. that time i rejected her... did not notice whether she was beautiful or not but her behavior were too odd to me.
I hope a nice bride for your brother. Have a nice time.

It is exepcted that sometimes the parents will feel that especially if you are older and not married. I have my mother in law who is always stressed because two of his sons are in their 30s and not married. Tell them not to waste their time looking for a girl for you, I believe the right woman is some where waiting for you and soon you will find her.

Just be patient and wait. the right girl will come in your way at the right time and place. Don't stress yourself too much on family pressure just because everyone else got married or something.Coz i believe the fruit that put too much pressure to ripe is not sweet.hehehe..just like me, im already 26 now, i live with friends and all them got gf and bf except me, but im not pressure to get one, hehhe, i just enjoy my life as a single, i dont care much, heheh, but sometimes there are moments i wish i have someone but i just pray that one day he will cross my way..so to close this, i will say patience is a virtue and good things come to those who wait.

Hi Shibham,
That would be a good idea...and for sure, there will be a lot of single ladies out there who will come into you and apply...(just kidding).
There is always a right time for love. So, it is best for you to just wait for it. But you also need to mingle yourself with groups because with that, you will be able to meet new people...and maybe you will meet that person that is really for you.
As many people would say, love can wait. And don't compare yourself to others since maybe that someone that is really for you hasn't come yet.
If I were you, maybe I will just wait. And I will be hoping that my wait is all worth it.
Happy Mylotting. ^^

Hi there...
If it would be true... i mean your kidding. lol
Thats the main problem. I stay most often alone and like loneliness. I have less friends with whom i share my everything. But i never say that i am a reserved person.
I just hope that rose will come one day with love.
Have a nice time and happy mylotting too.
