#However marriages were decided by parents until the children turned 21 and most didn't marry until their mid twenties

Dear Anonymous,

That sounds very forceful. I’m still 16 and trying to figure out my own future.

N-Not to say there aren’t any men I consider attractive, but I need to make sure he’s able to provide for me and whatever children we have. At the moment, there’s no man I know ready for that kind of devotion. Not even Kazumasama and he’s considered my elder brother.

If he’s able to purchase a house, pay for upkeep and provide food for a family of three, then I may consider dating and marriage.

(No lady should run off and marry without preparation.)
