Marriage pressure

I'm 27M and now my parents have increased pressuring me to get married saying that it's getting late. My usual excuse of there's atleast 2 more years left for me isn't working anymore. They've started sending me photos of girls with biodata and expect me to create one for myself so that they can forward it here and there.

Their usual argument is that if the girl is good then what's the problem.....and honestly I don't have a logical counter for that but deep within I do feel that I am not ready for marriage yet and something about me getting onboard with this whole idea feels slightly off even though I can't pinpoint it.

Am I overthinking? Or am I correct? Is this even something that others go through as well?

You'll never feel ready. But I suggest take the leap. But then again, people suggested me and I didn't listen. Only to regret it after getting married at 31.

I married at 32. I advice you to get married early. I am not sure if its the grass on other side is greener. But you will get time to settle. Go ahead buddy.

Most of the guys go through the same fear. If you find a right girl at this time, please proceed with marriage. 29 will be late and it is difficult to find girls at that time. You will be under more pressure by that time since people around you will be already married.

Get married around 27... have 1st kid till 29 (depends on both of you)...if planning another plan near 33-34...so that you will be retiring till the time they will complete their education...and will have enough time to enjoy with the grandchildren....this is how I think nd it might be different for others....

I understand the thought process, but I don't wish to have children.

Go for marriage only when your ready, and do not consider what your parents think and belief at all.But you can meet girls no harm in it.

Bhai ...if you are not ready... DON'T get married. Life is not always about finding the one true love. Explore yourself...as in..what makes you happy...what makes you YOU... Marriage is a huge commitment....so think before taking "a leap of faith"
