Express your desire to get married - It is not a taboo to tell your parents that you want to get married, even if you are a girl. It is all about how you say that matters. Do not turn it into a dispute but reason with them.
Make Dua - A person who makes dua at tahajjud will always be positive and hopeful of goodness.
Let your mother and father spread a word in their circle - The swiftest and safest choices can be within the circle of parents and other elders because they know the groom or bride and their family background, thus half investigation done.
Make a very appealing but simple Profile about yourself - Do not let your profile be like your job CV.
Do not be fussy about your choice- Remember, the best people are found among the average and simple ones. Fairies and princes are only found in stories.
Help you parents to trim down the expenses as much as you can - even if it means you have to strike out your friends from the list of invitees. Discuss with them.
Do not keep wandering on the profiles on matrimonial websites - Keep your choice simple and your search too. Do not get carried away by awesomely drafted profiles.
Insist to meet the potential groom or bride - Interview but do not interrogate. Do not dig out information but just try to check nature through your question and answers. Keep it a short session.
Do Istikhara - A noble tradition of the Prophet (peace be upon him)
Consult elders and then decide- Trust Allah- it is His command to consult others.
