I don't know what to say but it worries me a lot. I've experienced it in the past and I find same thing happening with my friends too. I must say I am clueless. Let me put it simply, what does a girl expect from a guy? Yes, that is my question for everyone. Doesn't matter if you are a guy or a girl. Please come up with your answers. Please don't be shy. Have your views expressed here openly.

Just 2 days back, I was having a small discussion with one of my good friends. He is a 27 year old guy with a pleasant personality, very soft spoken and hardworking. Not to forget, in a job with better earnings. Now, we were discussing on issues related to marriage. He is still single and must say, one of the thing which I could notice from his talk that he was really worried about it. Now, it is something which I've never thought about it seriously. Really, marriage and related issues have never been a subject of my interest. Though my friends often say that I need to be more serious on it. Well, I've never said that its not important but then I don't have much time to think over it seriously. Hopefully..I should get serious now...


Now back to the discussion. So during a brief discussion with my friend, I came to know about yet another harsh reality of life. I could see frustration on his face that has appeared all of a sudden. He narrated to me a recent incident that left him worried and dejected. Let me narrate the same for you.

He told me that 2 days back, he received a phone call on his cell. The call was made by a gal with whom his marriage talks were in progress. Now being a very shy guy, he could not talk much on the cellphone. So they both decided to meet at some place to discuss more and know each other well. And they did the same. They met twice or thrice and it was almost sure that he has found a life partner for himself. The gal was not that beautiful but it was never ever a matter of concern. Only thing important here was that my friend was interested in her though the final conformation was awaited from other side.

My friend was damn confident that the gal would marry him without any problem as she seemed very positive for the same. It made him feel so happy and relaxed at that moment. He should be after all where do you get good girls today! Seemed that it was an end to all his worries. But then he could not expect this to happen. Just before when everything seemed to be working as per his expectations, he was blown away by something that he could never thought in his dream. The girl who had almost accepted him as her soul-mate, gave him an utter surprise. Yes, she called him on his cell and said that she was sorry to say that she couldn't be ready for the marriage. My friend was dumb shocked and he needed a reason for such strange behavior.

The girl explained that she had some expectations that he couldn't fulfill. He wanted to marry someone who had a degree in Engineering, an Engineer..she meant. Just to let you know, the guy whom he rejected is a post graduate (MCM), Master in Computer Management. Now, how could she reject such guy? And even if you wanted to do the same, why didn't you made it clear in the beginning? Why did you put him in under dark? Why did you lie to him? Why didn't you made everything clear to your parents first? What right have you got to play with someone's heart?

Well, so many questions to be asked and perhaps no perfect answers. I know its not about me but it can happen with anyone. The harsh truth is that good guys have to suffer often and again. Might is Right - seems perfectly apt with girls today. I am not saying that a girl has no right to choose his partner but then why do you do such sort of things?

As a girl what are your expectations from your life partner? Of course these, a caring husband in a good job which makes him financially stable and maybe, superior to others. So, when you get all these, what is there to worry much ? Maybe, you are against arranged marriage but then why don't you speak up? Let your voice be heard. No one will kill you for that. If you like someone and or if you have already have chosen your life partner then why are you so afraid to say it to everyone, especially to your parents. I believe you should, instead of doing what that gal did with my friend.

Absolutely Ridiculous !
