Let’s give this a shot before the arranged marriage brigade catches me. 🤭

I’ve had two past relationships that didn’t work out, and ever since then, I’ve always believed that if I ever get married, it should be with someone I genuinely fall in love with - not just because “it’s time.”

A little about me:

- 29M

- 5’9” (5’11” in my head, but reality is cruel 😌)

- Software Engineer, earning 25+ LPA

- Based in Mumbai

- Kind, emotionally available, compassionate, fun to be around, average looking overall but apparently blessed with a good smile

- Into cricket, volleyball, and swimming, though I enjoy almost every sport. Recently started following F1 as well.

- Passionate about technology and traveling - work has helped me visit 6 different countries so far 😋

- Big movie buff with a strong interest in music too

- No generational wealth to inherit, so trying to build something meaningful on my own 🙃

- Caste: Agrawal

- Religion: Hindu

- Currently trying new hobbies as well, so hopefully this section gets more interesting soon

What I’m looking for:

- Someone between 26-30 years old (31-32 is perfectly fine too if you think dating a younger guy could work for you, although I know most women prefer older men 😄)

- A working professional in any field. I genuinely admire independence and individuality in a partner. Even after marriage, your individuality should remain yours — and I’ll always stand by that.

- Preferably someone from Mumbai, or at least willing to settle here eventually, since I plan to stay in Mumbai long term

- Fun, emotionally mature, goofy, someone who can laugh during serious moments, teach me how to dance, and isn’t afraid of making mistakes

- Should enjoy movies because I already have a never-ending watchlist ready for us 😌

- Caste: No issues

- Religion: No issues

- Someone comfortable living with in-laws eventually. My parents are important to me, and I can’t leave them alone. That said, I’ll always make sure boundaries, respect, and personal space are maintained for everyone involved.

So yeah, if anyone wants to try getting to know each other organically and escape the arranged marriage setup together, feel free to DM. 🙂

I recently switched jobs, and during my last week at my previous company, one of my colleagues kind of confessed her feelings for me.

She told me that she had liked me from the very first day we met, but I was always the one who kept my distance and restricted any kind of personal communication. The thing is, I had a very bad past relationship. I admit that I made mistakes in it too, and I don’t blame the girl entirely. But things became so messy that she involved my parents in that, and eventually I had to change my job location because of everything that happened.

When I moved to the new location, only a small part of my team was working from new location. I mostly kept to myself and never really opened up to anyone. People showed interest in my life and tried to know me better, but at that point I was carrying so much shame and guilt that I always avoided such conversations.

Now, during my final week there, this girl told me that she had liked me since the beginning and had tried many times to make me show interest in her, but I never gave her a chance. I told her honestly about my past. She said that while what I did was wrong to an extent, she felt the other girl was more wrong. But I replied that it was never about who was more right or wrong. The truth is, after everything that happened, I stopped liking myself, and I never wanted to involve another person in my life again.

She is genuinely sweet, fun, and energetic. I told her that I do like her as a person and as a friend, but I don’t think I’m ready for a relationship yet. She said that was okay and that we could at least start fresh.

Since then, she has been sending me couple and relationship reels on Instagram. Last Sunday, she invited me out for a movie. Throughout the day she kept holding my hand, leaning on me, and towards the end, she even tried to kiss me towards the end of the day. I stopped her and told her honestly that I’m not ready for this.

The problem is, I don’t want to break her heart because she really is innocent and kind. But deep down, I think I don’t actually like her in a romantic way. I feel that my one statement — “I like you as a person and friend” — gave her too much hope.

I don’t want to repeat the mistakes from my past by staying silent about my feelings until it’s too late and making someone feel betrayed. The guilt of not telling her the truth is honestly crushing me day by day.

Just yesterday, she asked me why I sounded low on the phone. I wanted to tell her everything right then, but she sounded so happy talking to me that I couldn’t bring myself to hurt her.

I really need help figuring out how to tell her my feelings in a way that is honest, respectful, and clear, so she understands that I’m not trying to cheat or betray her emotionally. I know it will hurt her, but delaying it feels even more unfair.

I often come across posts from both men and women sharing how difficult it has become to find the right partner in the arranged marriage setup - and honestly, I relate to that feeling quite a bit.

I’m at a stage in life where I’m seriously thinking about finding a life partner and moving into the next chapter of life. But somewhere deep down, I’ve never been too interested in the arranged marriage process. Maybe it’s because I don’t want someone else deciding such an important part of my life, or maybe I don’t want to feel like someone’s “last option.”

I guess I’m a bit old-school when it comes to love. I always believed I would naturally find my person somewhere along my journey… although it seems to be taking a little longer than expected. 🤭

So, here’s a little about me:

I’m a 29-year-old man currently living in Mumbai, originally from Rajasthan. I work as a software engineer at an MNC and have a stable career with what I’d call a decent package. 😊

I wouldn’t describe myself as exceptionally charming, but I’d say I’m average looking - though I’ve occasionally received compliments that I look good (and no, not just from my mother 😄).

I have a keen interest in sports, technology, and business. I’m a huge movie buff, love discovering new music, and enjoy activities like swimming, cricket, and pretty much any sport that gets me moving. I’m not much of a dancer, but somewhere inside, my heart still wants to dance like nobody’s watching.

What I bring to the table:

• A stable career and an ambitious mindset

• Family-oriented values with a modern outlook

• Genuine effort and commitment in relationships

• Open to long-distance if the connection feels meaningful

• Someone who values communication, loyalty, emotional growth, and partnership

What I’m looking for:

• A woman who is career-oriented and intellectually compatible

• Someone educated, kind-hearted, emotionally mature, and fun to be around

• A person who can talk endlessly - because I genuinely enjoy listening more than speaking

• Feminine yet independent - someone with her own identity, ambitions, and individuality

• Someone who believes in growing together, not just romance or attraction

• A person who values mutual effort, respect, and emotional support equally

If you’re someone who values kindness, ambition, emotional maturity, and meaningful companionship, I’d genuinely love to connect. 🙂

I’ve been reading posts on this subreddit for quite some time, and they genuinely made me reflect on my own situation. If the mods feel this post isn’t relevant here, please feel free to remove it. 🙂
