u/Becoming_997

28, 5’5”, Sikh, Delhi NCR. I work in corporate and genuinely enjoy what I do. Outside work, I’m into good food, fitness, skincare, travelling, family time, long conversations, and finding humour in ordinary things. I’m curious about almost everything and can happily go down a random rabbit hole at 2am. I also find a lot of comfort in spirituality.
I’m independent — physically, financially and emotionally. I have my own ambitions and a life I really like, but I’d love to share it with someone. I’m looking for a partner, not a project — someone I can respect, learn from, laugh with, travel with, and eventually build a warm home and family with.
Looking for someone good-looking, kind, steady, ambitious and funny. Someone emotionally mature, confident without being arrogant, communicative, family-oriented and genuinely ready for a relationship. I like a man who knows what he wants, follows through on what he says, and can have an uncomfortable conversation instead of disappearing into the Bermuda Triangle.
I value consistency and honest communication. If things get difficult, I’d much rather talk, repair and figure it out together than quietly drift apart. And if you’re keeping someone around just in case a better option doesn’t come along, let’s save each other the time.
The practical bits: 28–34, 5’8”+, good-looking, financially stable, physically active, non-smoker, social drinker, Hindu Punjabi, Delhi/Gurgaon/Mumbai
Everything else — chemistry, humour, travel compatibility and whether we can tolerate each other’s music — we can discover together.

So I was introduced to this guy who was not from my city. Earlier, I was a little apprehensive but my mother kind of convinced me to speak to him once. He was a decent looking guy. We spoke on call once- ngl, he was nice to talk to. Then, the next day the matchmaker asked my mother about how we live- area of the house and everything. Tbh, this is where I got very suspicious. I told my mother why are they bothered about what kind of a house we live in. My mother told me it’s routine for everybody to get their verification done. Anyway, the guy told the matchmaker that he has to attend a wedding in my city and that is when he will see me. I was like fine. Then I mentioned it to my mum that he isnt even communicating with me about coming to my city. My mum told me okay just try to have an open mind. I was like fine. Anyway, he couldn’t attend the wedding because he caught a cold. But he texted me again asking to speak over a video call- we did. He told me about his relationship and asked me about mine. 2-3 days later, his parents were in town for the wedding so they called my dad up saying that let us meet. My dad found it v weird because the guy and I haven’t even met. My parents usually prefer that I meet the guy 4-5 times before they go on to meet the family but my mother somehow convinced him. So they met. And there the guys father told my dad- “Areey haan apki beti ka to affair tha ek and fir un dono ki shadi nahi hui”. My dad was super annoyed and told him so what? He told him ki sabka koi na koi relationship to hota hi hai. And aap kyu bta rhe ho mujhe, mujhe pta hai. I mean we ended up laughing about it as a family but this is so fkn weird. Guys tell me all kinds of things about their ex gfs etc etc. I never go and tell my parents anything because that is none of their concern.
Dodged a bullet but what a man child man! 😭
Like there is so much more to me than my ex boyfriend who did not marry me.
