Don’t kick yourself because you’re not quite where you want to be in this aspect of your life.

The odds are in your favor - women outnumber men and that gap will probably increase. Have you let your friends know? They can help - maybe they know somebody who knows somebody.

Don’t give up! And don’t do an arranged marriage if you don’t have to!
