 Well, I may end up getting an arranged marriage 👀 intriguing.

Jane Austen would be disappointed in me if I did. I cannot give in. Can’t let Jane (or myself) down. 

Romance in modern dating isn’t dead, it’s just dormant 😭 
 Huh? 
 Sorry ignore that, I lost myself for a minute there 😭🫂♥️

I just remembered our forecast said something about arguing on the 29th and I wanted to avoid it because that topic always causes an argument 🙈so I just told them I’d be open to it but they seemed so happy I didn’t wanna let them down 🥹🙏🏽🫂

I’ll DM you on simpleX ☺️ 
 🙌 
 As a hopeless romantic myself, I’m cheering you on 💜 I hope fervently that you find your Mr Darcy 🙏🏽 who knows he may even be here already on Nostr. 
 Thank you Catty_McCatface (amazing name) 🥹🫂💜 lost myself for a minute but I’m back 🫂 I hope so too 🫂🫂🫂🫂 haha I think I might have found something even better on here 🥹 life long frens 💜🫂 
 Yes, Nostr is like that, it’s one of the best parts about here 😍😍 🫂🫂🫂 
 It is 🥹♥️ truly wonderful 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂 
 I’m convinced you’ll someone on your terms. You’re a good human being 
 Thank you HumbleSatsMan 🥹💜🫂 that’s so kind 😭🫂 you are also a wonderful human being 🫂🙏🏽 
 Where are you from?? It might not be so uncommon 
 I’m from Sri Lanka 🥹 it’s normal there. Not a necessity but definitely normal. Maybe if I grew up there I wouldn’t be so rebellious 🥹🙏🏽 then again, maybe not 
 Ok. Handsome tall doctor is on the order then. Do you have the dowry system?? 
 🤣😂 I miiight be too weird for someone as rational as a doctor 🥹 though it would be cool ☺️.

We do! Mum always says that the fancy towels are my dowry 🥰 lucky guys gonna get about 700 used fancy towels in exchange for my hand 🤣🔥 good deal tbf 
 Okay. You're still so young. One day, when you're not thinking about it, love will hit you 😉 
 💯💯 agree 🫂. What I’ve been telling my family for years 🥹🫂💜 I don’t think they believe me, which makes me doubt it 🥲 

Thank you 🙏🏽🫂💜 
 This reminded me of an article I saw 😅

 Thank you Dr. Monali ☺️😍 shall be reading this today 🙏🏽🫂 
 I preach to the children that Tinder is the devil’s doing. A 🔥 from hell…

I must be patient for someone worth most of my time. 
 You will find someone so wonderful that deserves you dan, I have no doubt ☺️♥️🫂 

Totally agree about tinder. Will never touch it 👀👎🙅🏽‍♀️ 
 Been intro'ed to some solid wifies like this. Its not arranged its jus ur FAM doing the tinder swiping offline

Know many couples like this. Many married.

Dating by modern urban digital modes has bad incentives so hard to work. If I was single, I'd take dem family sanctioned dates.

Granny and aunties know the cuties pies more then you'd think. 
 Cutie pies 🤣🙏🏽🫂 you might be right 🥹 I’ll consider it, pooosssibly, next year ☺️ but I’m kinda cool with never marrying if I don’t find the right person now 🥹🙏🏽
