What I have learnt from AM process
So just for the people who are getting into AM. I know a lot of your parents are just excited about your marriage. So what happens sometimes is you see the profile on the phone, your parents contact the partners parents, they have a talk, you guys are asked to meet or talk on phone and the process goes on. Sometimes what happens is parents are excited because the girl or boy seems perfect on paper. So the topic very immediately moves to when the marriage is expected to happens and where it will happen. All this before you people have even met. The girl hasnt seen you, you haven't seen the girl, you haven't gone to the other person's house and they haven't come to your home. Etc etc.
This would be great if the other family is also in the same page as you. But I happened to meet someone who is on a different page than me and they kind of tried to emotionally blackmail us and to get us robbed or sqeeze us financially in the name of marriage. We were smart and didnt give a shit about this. So missed a bomb.
Just be aware of these people and also inform your parents that not to get emotionally attached and speak the next step before things get moving naturally. AM is a slow process. dont hurry it.
