Homesick - your attitude is rather old fashioned and judgemental. These days parents / families themselves also approach or speak with strangers on matrimonial websites for their sons / daughters. And then they’re doing the exact same thing that OP is doing i.e. exchanging info and pics, speaking on the phone and eventually meeting in person with strangers. The whole rishta auntie process is similar to this also.

Also, when you say “Pakistani point of view” what does that mean exactly? Do you mean the POV of the lower / poor class, the middle class or the privileged classes? Or even the POV for very religiously conservative Pakistanis? Because all those POVs are not going to be neccesarily the same.

Call me olCall me old fashioned. Maybe I missed the revoulation that made it normal for a self respcting pakistani girl to exchange pics and phone with random guy online. I missed the transformation that made that our norm. Maybe I am old fashioned (, still in my 20s) or maybe this fourm’s norm is too modern or " progressive" if that’s the word u prefer. I doubt such is the cultural norm in pakistan regardless of social status. A
