There is no harm in meeting girl at her home 9or your home) if you have to. Just meet as families and then perhaps at sidelines you guys can talk to each other about nature, likings, disliking, plans etc etc and if thinks seems to click, ask your parents to ask for the Rishta. Now make sure things are clinking on her side too. Dont send rishta if she has some concerned or if she is not sure.
I dont think there is anything wrong with approaching someone yourself Leo.
Women get freaked out when men use pick up lines, give sleazy looks and are not open about their intentions.
There is nothing wrong with asking someone you might be interested in about herself and taking it from there. Unless you want to go about this in a completely arranged manner, thats what you have to work with.
It would be flattering for me if a guy took the proper route and asked for my hand.
Hey Reha. To be honest I'm really just wondering about any random girl that I don't know, so I wouldn't be able to approach her and just begin (even gradually) speaking about marriage. Pick-up lines though, haha.. yeah that was never me :P Maybe after the ball and chain. But I like the rest of the ideas you provided. Tyvm. j'A.
Chupacabra, it is heartening to see how religiously inclined you are. A key benefit of having that information about people is, you can filter the ones you would avoid interacting with on the forums. Cheers to that.
