Girls waiting for rishtas can learn a lot from the Sleeping Beauty.
hear hear!
to the original poster: seriously woman, you need to stop stressing. the moer you will stress, the more white hair you will get, and no one wants to marry a girl who looks buddhi. jokes aside, what is meant to happen, will happen at its own time. there is no way you can speed thigns up. this whole logic about being a burden and this and that, were you planning on being a burden on your husband too? like someone said, a woman needs to be independant, she needs to have the financial independant. what will happen if god forbids something happens to you future marital status? you'd be back here, saying stuff like you're a burden on your parents and family because of that reason.
go out, live a little. stop worrying about things. the right rishta will come along when you least expect it, be it your own choice or someone from your parents. get a job, hang out with your friends, experience everything this world has to offer. parents worry abotu theri daughters from the moment they are born, so you can't do anything about it.
