5 Reasons why an Arranged Marriage is better than a Louve Marriage:
1. You don't have to guage each crush for 'potential'
2. You can leave all sorting, filtering and scanning to The Parents
3. You get a lot of stuff if you use your 'injured feelings' to your advantage
4. You get to hear your parents praise you to strangers the way you never heard them, ever...
5. You get to hear of/meet a variety of characters and write a blog about them :P

5 Reasons why "Meeting the Match" is better than a date:
1. You don't have to worry about looking fat because you'll wear Indian clothes.
2. Colour co-ordination of jewelry, makeup or accessories is not expected.
3. You don't have to worry about striking intelligent conversation.
4. You can look at the floor and think "what a moron" and appear to be shy.
5. You can avoid all conversation by pretending to be shy and then say you didn't get to talk to the guy at all...

5 Reasons why you would want to give the guy a chance:
1. He smiles nervously instead of condenscendingly
2. He asks you about yourself instead of telling you about himself
3. His plans for the future are not set in stone
4. He expects you to have a career instead of 'allowing' it
5. The agenda of his trip is not bride hunting and you're not in queue

5 Signs you should run away from the guy ASAP:
1. He has 'multiple options' and wants to get 'committed' within a timeline
2. He's pushing 30 and getting desperate or worse still, pursuing a 'Green Card'
3. He gives you the creeps for no apparent reason
4. All conversation halts if you go quiet
5. He thinks he's being practical but makes you feel like a piece of furniture he's adding to the house...

5 Ways to make the guy run away from you:
1. Smile shyly and say (while playing with dupatta), I don't know how to talk to boys, I never did...
2. Tell him you hope to have a large family
3. Let the words, "my last boyfriend" innocently slip ;-)
4. Let him realize you're smarter than he is...
5. Tell him you want to pursue {insert eccentric career of choice}

5 Tips for effective 'Guy Hunting':
1. Stay away from guys pushing 30. They're probably so set in their ways they would expect you to make all changes
2. Stay away from guys who have no female influence in their life
3. Stay away from families who ask over the phone "Is your daughter good looking?"
4. Beware of those who look a little too good (not just looks, the whole deal put together)
5. Trust your instincts. If you think you should dump coffee on someones head and run away, you probably should...
