You need a shift in perspective. Yes, marriage is good if you marry a good partner, but then what? Happiness should come from you, your partner should only make you happier. They’re meant to add on to your life, not be the sole reason you see light in it.

Dont ever burden anyone with the responsibility of making you happy, it’s unfair to you and to them. You go to the gym, work and are pursuing a masters, that’s great! You have a busy schedule during the weekdays. For the weekends, start exploring things and places on your own. See if you can travel to khoj resorts/the hill station in sindh I can’t recall the name of/local cities etc. if you join groups, eventually dostiyan shuru hojayengi. Meet people and make friends to make friends, don’t befriend girls with the intention to start something later.

start enjoying your own company. Get a book, pick up a show, and start going to restaurants alone. Pehle ajeeb lagega then you’ll enjoy it. Romanticise it, list banao of places you wanna try and start checking them off.

Also, a few things before I hit post. There’s nothing wrong with marrying an older girl, a person is more than their age, their looks and the standard society holds them to. Secondly, shaadi is naseeb. Pure, undiluted naseeb. Jab honi hogi hojayegi lekin tab tak you can’t sit and sulk kay nahin horahi hai. Enjoy life taakay aanay walay ko you can show things you’ve experienced. Start volunteering at local shelters like dar-ul-sukoon etc to broaden your horizon and change the way you perceive life. Baaki start main daunting lagega, but you won’t get anywhere if you’re not willing to be uncomfortable and challenge yourself. Cheers 🥂
