Re: How to help myself meet the right guy.
You are absolutely right! If you have the wherewithal and the opportunity to find someone of your own accord that would be great! However, if there is a dearth of potential candidates within your social sphere, it would be futile to drive yourself into a tizzy about trying to find someone – the phrase needle in a haystack comes to mind.
Can I ask how your previous two rishtas came about? Was it via your parents social network, family liaison etc. You mentioned that you are only interested in men who have “grown up” in western countries because of your concerns about job placement. I definitely understand the latter concern, but may I ask why you have restricted your choice to only men who have specifically been raised in a western nation? I mean, what about Pakistani individuals who are working or studying abroad. Are you wary of marrying a well educated Pakistani national?
