Give me unfiltered advice

I'm 27F and recently went through a break-up (June end) because the guy wasn't ready to settle down and get married. I see all of my friends on instagram getting engaged and it's giving me anxiety. I don't think I've even moved on yet but I feel I've very little time to find a new partner and get married. My parents want me to get married but are not forcing me just yet as they understand that my break-up was rough. I tried going on the dating apps but I'm unable to hold conversations because I don't think I've moved on from my ex. What should I do?

There there!
Uninstall social media for starters.
Focus on health and well being.

Join clubs for runs / food walks. Let the dating scene happen organically. Tinder and the likes are full of fcukbois.

My 2 cents.

Good luck!

If you are in Bangalore, there are plenty of clubs. Ajit Bhaskar hosts food / thindi walks (Thindi Capital)

Cubbon park has a lot of book / running clubs.

Don't tie your mental wellbeing with having a partner and "settling down".

Woman anyhow dont get much time compared to male peers after marriage at work due to new responsibilities and baby care.

Focus in your career and try to get into leadership role before settling.

Why didn’t you shared your intentions early with your dating partner that you wanted a commitment and not a time pass?

Take your time before searching for a new partner, especially if you’re still healing from a previous relationship even if you feel pressure from your parents. It’s really important to reach a place where your feelings for your ex have faded, or at least where the past no longer has an emotional hold on you. Only then would it be fair to both yourself and anyone new you might meet.

Rushing into something new without closure can unintentionally hurt the other person and add more confusion to your own life. Give yourself permission to process the pain and emotions. The healing journey is never easy you wil likely have to face some of it alone but it’s a necessary step for genuine growth.

Meanwhile, if your parents are encouraging you to meet people (for example, via matrimonials), consider using these conversations as practice rather than as commitments. Be honest and transparent. Let people know you’re not in a hurry and that, for now, you’re talking mainly to respect your parents’ wishes. If you connect with someone and things progress naturally, that’s great. But if they don’t, there’s no need to force anything or feel pressured to “make it work.”

Trust that the right connection will come at the right time when you are genuinely ready. Take care of yourself, focus on your well-being, do not skip foood, spend sometime with friends time to time even if you are an introvert, and remember it’s perfectly okay to put yourself first during this period of breaking up.

Wishing you strength and happiness on your way ahead✨ One day at a time

I don't think it would be that intense, why do you say that?

go travel and when you come back start fresh, don't try to settle down by forcing yourself because society/family wants you to. best of luck.

I don't think you will find marriage material on dating apps. That's hella close to impossible.
