Re: Baahir ki larkiyan
Aray yar, I am not the one doing the “looking”. It’s 100% arranged. I get involved if parents are satisfied. And we are not looking for someone born/raised exclusively in Pakistan. But my personal preference is, if the guy is more pakistani than westernized (regardless of where he lives). I love Urdu adab, Ghazals, Shayari, Pakistani fashion, Pak traditions. And I would like a guy who can relate to all of this. And I don’t really want to move to US or Pakistan or anywhere else. So it’s either find someone in Canada or sponsor someone from Pakistan.
There is plenty of fish in the sea but sometimes luck plays a big part too. The families have to get along, the couple needs to be (somewhat) compatible, goals in life should align, etc. There are a lot of factors to be considered. So it’s not that surprising if people say they cannot find good matches where they’re living.
Anyhow, yes I am glad I found out sooner rather than later. But we were talking to them for a few months so it hurts to see the time wasted and getting your hopes up for nothing in the end.
