Going back to the topic at hand. So, sweetiepie dearie, are you telling us that you're all of an ABCD, nearing 30's, professional, indepedent woman, have dealt with many rishta proposals over the past few years (and have rejected 'em all), and you've this tiny bity problem of not being able to figure out how to break it off nicely to a guy?
Gimme a friggin' break. You're way too convoluted for your own good.

...and you know what? He'll find a sweet little thing that is compatible with him insh'allah. I have no doubts about that.

I find it quite condescending... :-( But then I don't wannna doubt anyone's sincerity.
Why, FOBS don't have feelings, likes, dislikes .... ?
Moonpie, yahan to yeh haal hai, " kisi ko hum na milay or hamain koi na mila" ;-) I am amazed girl, the way you go on about rejecting guys.
awww..so sorry to hear that this one isn’t gonna last.
Was it your longest relationship?
Was he too FOB for you? No jockies no boxers? 
Don’t worry about it…You are still young, graceful and out there. Don’t forget to post a ‘I found someone post’ again…I’ll be waiting for it. Good luck :k:
ciao

There's absolutely nothing wrong with a mother finding a girl for her son. The problem arises when the mother starts dictating certain requirements. Example: Girl must be fair, skinny, tall, highly educated, be able to cook, etc. etc. Even greater problems arise for the son especially if he doesn't care whether the girl is fair or dark, slim or chubby or a whether she has a PhD or not.
Same thing can be applied to parents of the girl who dictate ridiculous demands/desires they wish for in a potential son-in-law. It goes both ways.
Moona the sooner you break it off the better. Just do it.
Femme, you're so cruel. :( Uss baichaaray ko kuch dinn rangeen khawab to daikh lainay daiteiN...
Roman yaar mein yahi tau chahti hoon ke usko rangeen khwaab dekhnay ka mauqa milay. Moona ke saath tau goray goray khwaab hee aingay na. Maybe you can catch him on the rebound and give him the chance:p
Though I'm not a cruel person by nature, I think Moona the only person you'll ever be happy with is Matsui.
Allah aap dunon ki jori ko salamat rakhay. Ameen!

So, Ms Mehnaz, are you saying that mothers should look for brides for their sons who are not fair, short, dark, ugly, uneducated, and don't know how to cook? Why?

bas mats some things aren't meant to be. call it the FOB factor or whatever.

... this FOB seems to be quite lucky to get away from ABCD's expressionless eyes!

Stop twisting what I'm saying!
Roman, these parents need to get their priorities straight. They should be looking for a guy/girl who will be caring, kind, has a good heart and someone who is actually compatible with their child rather than choosing someone who lacks class and manners and choose them solely cause they are physically attractive, have PhD hanging on his/her bedroom wall and has relatives who are all doctors!
Looking at what is inside and how a person's character is should take precedence on whether they are fair and obedient.
What's wrong with obedience? It's a great quality. It shows modesty and flexible attitude to make a relationship work. Also, if one is not physically attractive to someone, how he's gonna spend rest of his life with her? It effects the relationship, and make things worst for both of them.
I think what you're trying to say is that there should be a good balance in things that matter worldly and emotionally in choosing a partner.
But then the question is, what's that level of good balance?
