lol @ making friends, that's not for everyone. Some folks dont date very long until they get married, and I'm not sure how much that matters, nearly all my wife's friends from the past, hardly talk to her these days, you'll find out that relations between friends change very fast once you've got kids, and people do that after they get married. on top of that, even friends change, if you met your future wife at 19, she may have one set of friends, at 25 she may have another set of completely different people. Indian folk have extremely limited interactions with their future wives, and they make it work. They still do arrange marriages to this very day, and from what I can tell, they are happily married. No access to friends...
