So I grew up in the US and all my Muslim friends dated boys and participated in acts we are not supposed to but I didn’t, I stayed away from all of that even when it led me to feel alienated and alone because I knew it was wrong and I wanted to please Allah swt. But now I’m in my late 20’s and all my friends/family are in relationships with men who care about them they’re all very happy which makes me happy for them but then theres me, and I don’t have that. I have a possible arranged marriage proposal with a guy who is religious and a good person but we don’t have any chemistry or physical attraction and I feel like if I say yes I’m settling but if I say no I’m going to be alone forever. And it kind of feels like I’m being punished and maybe my cousins/friends had the right idea? I don’t even know what I’m trying to gain by posting this here. Anyone else been in a similar position? Should I say yes to this guy based solely on the fact that he is set on his deen or should I look for that connection everyone else seems to have? I also feel bad for thinking like this and I think this guy deserves better, and to be with someone who feels the connection with him.
