an arranged marriage?

no,
but why would you want to?

No way
If that was the only way I would stay single. No one tells me. Who I will marry.

No way, Never ever.. its my choice.

there is a new show on UK TV about it, there are actually services dedicated to scientifically picking your perfect match. lol

that doesn't surprise me RE:UK shows!

it's all absolute rubbish here!

your not wrong love. At least if things get to late in the day ican sign up

No, I don't believe in it.

just watch repeats of classic 80's comedy, probably the only entertainment on British TV these days :)

Maybe.

Who was it arranged by? My family? People I trust and love? Some sort of state organization? Or random strangers from an internet dating forum?

Why was it arranged? For my benefit, or for someone else?

Do I have any kind of veto power?

Do I get any kind of interaction with the person beforehand?


To me there is a huge difference between "you exist for the family, your only purpose is to do what we say, marry whom we say, have grandkids and heirs, it's for your own good because we say so," and, "we know it's hard, you are busy, we have the free time, we have connections and we're talking to our friends about your love life anyway, and they also have family going through the same thing as you, so we're just trying to help you out, no different than getting you some job interviews, you can say no, but if you say yes they are expecting to just get married and get on with it."

How much would the annual salary be, for tolerating the situation?

What about the show "Married at First Sight" (or whatever it's called.) Entertaining to watch, not to live.

That was the name I was thinking about earlier..that is what it is called here in the states..

Would I do it Nope not now not ever...

If arranged with Jennifer Anniston? Oh hell yeah!

One of the reasons I was willing to grow up and old, was specifically, and I do mean SPECIFICALLY, so that I wouldn't have to do stuff like that, where someone else saddles me with obligations.

I have enough problems dealing with what that jerk I used to be last week, saddled me with.

Empty the garbage???!!!?:? AGAIN??!?!!?!?!??! You'd think it would stay emptied, after all this time and repetition. Aich.

Maybe if it was arranged by friends I've known for years, as they know what kind of men I go for, but otherwise no. I'd hate to think I'd been forced into being with anyone I felt nothing for. It would be pointless. All for nothing. I have a feeling I WAS set up, before, because once I told two people that I'm better off staying away from said person, they both looked at each other in a really disgruntled way. It was hilarious. We want who we want.

sure...as long as i wasn't forced into it in any way...

Haaahaaa...hell no

I wouldn't have a problem with 'that' as long as the true meaning of the term 'MARRIAGE' stood clear as crystal to 'both' of us!

no, never.
