I would say you should talk to your parents and if they insist then you shoudl atleast meet the other person. If you dont like then you should tell your parents precisely why you dont. But let this not be a ego issue. Good luck.

I don't like that type of matching . It is too old fashioned. If my parents match me to someone, at least they should let me see or meet her first. Then after knowing her, i will decide what to do next.

Hi, This was a tradition in past time. Now the situation is changed. Every one like to meet and chat with comming life partner.

I would think it from the dark ages and before. I still don't understand why that is still taking place here in this world of ours. Do the marriages even last? When I conducted some research, the only reason they stayed to gether was becuase of fear of being sanctioned by their culture and responsiblity. Otherwise they would leave.

I know some cultures do that sort of thing and I guess it is accepted there for the most part. Speaking for myself though I don't think I could do that. My instinct would be to run.

Hum, I'm guessing if they forced me I'd try to look so ugly so ugly that the groom would runaway. Well it's one way of doing it, as if I was really forced and had no alternative I'd have to try something to not go into something unprepared and not in love.... Paint some teeth black eat something that has a aroma people don't like maybe strong fish smell like a lot of canned tuna, eat some strawberries to give a red blood, effect, do a lot of exercise so I'm sweaty, hell anything to scare him off!
