Thanks for your replies guys. 

@ Gyanguru, Glad that you got married to the woman you loved. Pokhara and Sauraha huh? Awesome. 

@ Stupida dai, Thanks for your lenghty post. I could've probably asked the same questions to my own cousins, dijjus etc but then I thought they wouldn't tell me all their stories. Sometimes, you feel more comfortable to express your feelings and sharing your experiences when you're talking to a stranger. I didn't mean to imply that I rejected a number of women because they werne't the perfect matches. In a traditional western way, one could afford to experiment, get to know each other well enough inside out - not only emotionally but physically,too. I mean, imagine a guy and a girl getting married and the girl turning out to be a horndog while the guy had no sexual desire but would rather spend time meditating or doing bhajan kirtan. But again, as a Nepali guy, I don't think experimenting prior to marriage will really work for us albeit a number of folks currently in live-in relationships have done it (some did it wisely, some didn't - you know who you are). 

As for me, I don't mean to come out as someone who's looking for the perfect girl (32 teeth, cutest face, 36-24-36, dark hair, great attitude, great smiley face etc) but rather - I meant to say that I didn't think we'd click and hence I backed out immediately. There's this girl who added me on Facebook (she got my pic via somebody else) and despite her being pretty, nice and so on (based on how others write on her wall, her own comments, her statuses etc - some might disagree but one's FB wall does reflect his/her personality imo) but man, I just can't get myself into talking to her about things about "us". Same could be said about a number of girls I met. There was this girl from a nice family, well educated, working professional and not only my mom but some close relatives actually went to meet her. In a typical Nepali setting, I suppose it equated to her having been 'picked' but for some reason, I just didn't think we were compatible (wasn't probably wise because she and I never really spoke on the phone and we only exchanged some emails) but once I stopped replying to her email, I felt so bad. Matter of fact, she had her friend living elsewhere add me and she must've wondered what was wrong. 

But You are probably right. Instead of looking at imperfections, faults and bad qualities, working upon the good ones would be a wise thing. I'll keep that in mind. I'm at the primitive stage of my own career and I'm not sure what I really want to do (thankfully I don't need to worry about status issues or even earning a ton of money right now) but it is probably one of the reasons why I'm not wishing to get married anytime soon (as in 3- 12 months) but who knows... 

@ Peacesoul dai, thanks for your post. I'm really glad that things are working out properly for you and is actually encouraging for the ones who might seek the route of getting tied via an arranged marriage setting. But dai, I don't think its wise to foulmouth your ex. I feel for women who get dumped at the age of 22 plus because very few women have the strength to stand up and move on. There are a few who do it perfectly but some just can't seem to be able to do it but anyway, maybe you have a valid reason to feel that way about her. 

Thanks for your replies (again). Still surprised to see women hesitating to come out and share their take about their marriages.
