Me: Oh no .. here we go ... :(

Me: Hello
*Wow, she's cute*
Lady: I'm not religious at all really, can you live with that?
Me: CAN I?! Of course!
Lady: Great, oh and I'm pretty westernized but wear the cultural dress on special family occasions. I love a glass of wine dancing by the moonlight.
Me: No way, me too!

Never ever, and luckily my parent would never do that to me, but mom already ask if I want her to introduce me to someone, she's worried I'm 24 now, and every time she asks when will I get married I would always pretending I don't hear the question or quickly changing subject, or I would tell her "just expect grandchild from my lil sister" (who's 4 years younger than me)

Honestly I haven't decided whether marriage is necessary or not, when I was a muslim I used to wanting to get married as soon as possible so I could be a good muslim, we would do shalat together, hajj and blablabla. Now, my paradigm has shifted, I no longer think that it's something that you would need as soon as possible, but, the thought of living by yourself for the rest of your life is also scaring. So I guess, I won't really think bout it for now, You don't know what's coming to you.

Introductions are fine - who knows, you might just fall in love at first sight or at least want to get to know them better. Final decision would have to be mutual though, no forcing or being arranged by parents etc. unless both parties wanted it.

Do you want me to walk-by again?
