A: Why don’t you help me find a bride!!
B: Well, come on.. be rational, if you feel like attracted to someone, why don’t you ask her

You see the process you are describing is in itself flawed. Even if I am the most liberal person on earth and I can forgive for any of what the society considers a stigma. Prejudice is inevitable.
Getting married is not grocery shopping.
