I’m beautiful, educated, loyal and exactly what men say they want, yet I’m 30 years old, have never been loved, and now I’m expected to marry a stranger. I am a beautiful, loyal, educated, good-hearted girl, basically the kind of girl boys say they want. But I have never been lucky in love. Now it’s my age to marry, and my parents have started seeing grooms, but my problem is I can’t marry if I don’t love someone. Arranged marriage would feel like rape for me. I don’t know the person, and loving him is far from it.
I crave love, but it feels like it will never happen for me. These thoughts kill me from the inside. My parents are okay with a love marriage, but luck hasn’t been on my side. They are not wrong in searching for a groom. I respect my parents and would have easily opted for their choice if my craving for romance didn’t stop me from going for it. Any advice for me
