I couldn't at all. And, even if I could, what a miserable guy would my groom be to have to bear me without really knowing what kind of woman I am? No one should risk so. My parents too, they'd never take the risk to choose a groom for me, just because they do know me: how could they bear my lamenting if they chose a wrong one?

I agree with Mytch. I'll add that although I respect my parents, I also think that choosing who I want to be with for the rest of my life is a choice I need to make--not only because love is important, but also because it's part of growing up. You make your decisions and you do your best. Choosing a spouse is a huge decision. If I were to choose a guy who didn't end up being right for me, then so be it. It will be the decision I have made and I will have nobody else to blame for it. It will be a learning experience and one that will hopefully make me stronger and a little wiser. Making such decisions and dealing with the consequences is an important part of living.

i think my perants will respect my opinion , it's to me . but they choose.sure they know why choose this person.

It's not acceptable for me. It's too risky.

hummm......it seems difficult to marry a man who i don't like but my parents like... but i think they won't arrange that...they believe i will choose my own happiness by myself.
