Hi everyone,

I’m planning to start a mobile car detailing business and would really appreciate some honest advice.

I’m a university graduate currently working a job for the past 3 months. My goal is to use this income to slowly build a small detailing business, starting mobile first and expanding later.

The main issue is that I don’t own a car or bike yet—I’m a hostel student and only have a mountain cycle, so transport and logistics are a real challenge for me.

I also feel like I’m overthinking too much. I keep delaying the start while trying to figure out the “perfect” setup (pressure washer, equipment, transport, etc.), instead of just starting small.

I’d really like advice on:

How to realistically start in my situation

What the minimum setup should be

How to handle starting without proper transport

And how to stop overthinking and actually begin

Any guidance or personal experience would mean a lot. I really want to start, just feeling stuck at the planning stage.

I’m a 22-year-old guy from Gujrat, Pakistan, and the eldest son in my family. I’ve been living in a hostel in Lahore for the last 4.5 years because of university. I completed my degree around 3 months ago, and before even graduating properly, I got a job as a Business Analyst in an MNC with around 130k salary.

I also contribute a little financially to my family, although Alhamdulillah they are stable even without my support. Recently, I told my parents to start looking for a rishta for me, but they think life is long and I should wait a few more years.

The thing is, I personally don’t want to delay marriage too much and keep postponing it. At the same time, I’m continuously trying to upgrade my career and move towards better opportunities.

Lately, thoughts about career growth, marriage, responsibilities, future stability, and balancing everything together keep running through my mind for hours. Sometimes I feel confused whether I’m thinking maturely for my age or just rushing things.

I’d genuinely appreciate advice from people with more life experience. Is 22 too early to think seriously about marriage while still building a career? Or is it possible to grow both together?

I recently matched with someone on Muzz (Indonesian girl), and the conversation started off pretty normal. We talked about basic things like personality, expectations, and general qualities in a partner. No deep marriage discussion yet, just initial compatibility stuff.

At one point, she mentioned she’d be willing to move countries, which I appreciated but didn’t think too much of at the time.

But then literally the next day, she asked me to book a ticket for her for May so she could come.

That completely threw me off.

We barely knew each other, hadn’t involved families, and didn’t even have a proper understanding built yet. It just felt way too fast and unrealistic, so I unmatched right away.

Now I’m wondering:

Was that an obvious red flag?

Or am I overthinking and this is normal for some people?
