Why don’t I feel anything for him?
We’ve been engaged for six months now, set up through family friends. He’s got everything—good job at a US firm, MBA from a top college, respectful, not pushy, even lets me drink wine sometimes without making a face 🙄. My parents are so happy, and honestly, everyone keeps saying what a ‘catch’ he is. But when he holds my hand or tries to kiss me, I just… feel nothing. Not even nervous. Like, zero spark. I keep waiting for it to come, but it’s not. I am scared to say anything because what if they think I’m ungrateful? Or worse, what if they end up judging me and say I’m expecting Bollywood romance only. He is nice, really, but I don’t feel pulled toward him, not physically or emotionally. Is that normal? Should I even be worried only? We’re supposed to get married in four months and I’m just… stuck. I can’t tell my mom, she already told everyone at the sangeet venue to confirm the date only. I am tired of pretending isn’t it.
