Dear Nachu Namasivayam,

I am meeting a prospective guy for wedding. The time is too short for me, since my parents are conservative. I have just one evening to spend with him. What should I look for?

Dear Angayarkanni. Please do not worry. Am sure the guy will have a Car. Or even a bike. So he will take you out to some restaurant. In fact, indirectly hint to the guy that you should meet in a neutral place. Next look at the guys vehicle closely. See if he has kept it clean, and there are no crazy stickers to the size of parthasarathy kovil temple elephant naamam. Only idiots will stick stickers on their vehicles. Next, his choice of place should come under the scanner. In case he takes you to a coffee shop, he would be suffering from the teenage hangover. And would be the cool dood types. If the place is a 5 star hotel, then it means this guy goes only for external appearance. Which sensible person will pay so much for bland, substandard food? If he chooses local shiv sagar or shanthi sagar, then he is a fruit case. A good guy will choose a mid size restaurant, with decent ambience. Next, ask him casually about market. In case he looks stunned and blurts out things like ‘Market? You mean vegetable market?’ then it means his GK is very poor. But involuntarily if he says, ‘Yeah. Blood bath today. Sensex fell down by so and so points’, then it means he is aware of things happening. So with this template, you can find many things. Remaining, you should decide. All the best!
