Re: An interesting cultural difference
unfortunately, if you're using the method of "introduce me to someone you know" it is unrealistic. In our culture, a girl's reputation is much more delicate than a guys, so parents want to make sure she doesn't get attached to someone and then dumped. She may take a lot of time to get over it emotionally, and people might gossip about it, and in the end it'll be harder for her to find someone else.
If it's someone at work/school that you know, and then things develop after that, it is realistic to know someone without getting parents involved. Even then, she's not going to tell her parents/relatives/family friends that she's starting a relationship.
