Plz ignore anyone who says time is not running out. Be real and pragmatic about it. Seen too many girls go into depression at 27 when they realize they rejected tens of great rishtas for no reason from the age of 21 onwards and what seemed like an endless supply of rishtas has turned into a drought.
Time is definitely running out. 24 is ideal age, 26 is stretching it but maybe doable.
So key is to take proposals seriously. Don’t expect 100%. Don’t compromise on the 2-3 things very important to you but do think about weighing up the rest against pros of any potential match.
