I refuse to be an item!

My parents (actually the whole world) think that I am now old enough to be married. So they have been looking for a guy to fix me up with. That's the way it has been done in our society always. Maybe it's not such a bad idea. But am I reday for it yet?

I have been shown a few pictures and resumes.....lol!

I am expected to judge a bunch of guys (decide if they r suitable husband material for me) by looking at their pictures and biodatas. My mom says this is how she got married, and my sister, and my cousins, and everyone else we know. Does that mean that this is what I have to do as well?

They have shortlisted 3-4 guys, who will all be invited to our house for a meeting. Seperately, silly! Guys and their families too. This is an out and out family affair, you see!

So what is expected of me?

The guy arrives with his family. Everyone oes out to meet and greet them, except me. After the guests have been seated and pleasantries have been exchanged, I will be called out to meet them. I will be asked to st down, with my eyes averted...studiously staring at the floor. As they check me out from head to toe, I am not supposed to make too much of eye contact with anyone. If they OK me, I have to get up and touch everyone's feet in respect.

What would I like?

The same scene, but at the guy's house. The guy should be staring at the floor while I check him out.

What would I REALLY like?

I think I'd like to just meet the guy alone, in some coffee shop perhaps. I want to be able to spend some time with him, talk to him. I want to know what I am getting into, before I take a decision. Just looking at someone's face or reading his biodata is not enough.

So mom and dad, I refuse to be an item that guys will come to check out. It will be done my way, or no way!!!
