Femme go easy on the poor guys...If it is hard to convince your parents then use the istekhara excuse..that's quite popular and it works.
MM, yeah I don't understand women too...no point of giving the evil eye on minor things. As for going out with guys on your own, refer to Irem's thread..u hypocrite u :-D

Re: Trolley/Drawing Room Operation
alrite each one of us has had there fair share of trolley-mares. That means this is a crucial part of soul-mate searching in arranged marriages. Now the point in question is hwo to make the most of these chaperoned dates. I mean is it because our parents are seated alongside, that we donot indulge in being our usual self. Imagine if a friend had introuduced you to the same person on a casual lunch etc, where both parties are aware that the underlined topic is 'significant other', would you approach b ne different.
Is it the pressure from the parents that make us act like retards during these TO's, i'm sure many of us break under pressure and commit boos boos. The person in question might be an amazing guy/girl but solely based on the indiviuals looks n reflex reaction we make an opinion. Is it fair..
So what arth to b done of this halal dating scenario, suggestions please. If u say the system should b compleletly banned, than come up with a better way of hooking people in a halal way. If u say that the parents should let there children find there own soul mates, what if ur nearly over the hill and still didnt get lucky, than how do u answer u parents worries. They r doing there job of getting there kids settled at the right age. N often u have to oblige since u dont have neone in ur life.
Do you thinks the gals should really dress-up for the ocassion or just be themselves, i have seen some going to the parlours for these ocassions.
Who do u think is symbolizes the pressure cooker the girl or the guy..
Another thing, many a times what happens is you meet the potential in-laws, there is a great rapport between the parents, however things dont work out between the two of you. And the moment one of the family rejects the other, all communication breaks , before that the aunties used to chit chat non-stop for hours. And suddenly its like, 'who the hell are you to reject my son/daughter/'. From where did all this animosity come along, hypocrites. If u vouch for a TO, u r prone to a rejection..
How abt we hear some succses stories from ppl who got hooked through TO's.
Lastly whats your take on all these matrimonial sites.

Re: Trolley/Drawing Room Operation
yeah the guyzs are always better placed, aur kuch nahi to they get to have a lavish tea…
Re: Trolley/Drawing Room Operation
I still think the whole process is entirely messed up Vertical, and our society needs to make revisions or do things more tactfully. Although I've only had 1 real such experience, and 1 in a more casual atmosphere (where they forced me and the dude into a room) while our parents sat downstairs, I'm not going through it again. I strongly believe in the guy taking the initiative and not his parents - shows he has balls. Ofcourse he should take decisions with his parents blessings, but at the end of the day its his life, and to me it matters more if he takes a fancy to me, and not his mum.
