I’m the only single left in my family. My dad has been very persuasive with me in looking for that special girl I’ll tie the knot with. The thing is, I’m not yet ready to be in a relationship. I think I’m still very young to deal with a lot of relationship problems if I may have one in the future. But the patriarch in our house is urging me to get involved with dating already. He even advised me to try meeting some foreign women seeking men in any dating platform. This is a glaring proof of him wanting me to marry someone foreign. Should I agree with him?
Hi, Your dad’s level of strictness is important to be considered first. If he isn’t too strict and you can convince him that you are pursuing some other interest at the moment, then he may give you more time and space. Now, you have to have some interests at the moment. Are you studying or working? Then you can detail him about how that takes all your time. Maybe he or other relatives are concerned about your life and if it is going somewhere constructive. That is, if you seem idle most of the day doing stuff like chatting, watching TV, playing games etc may be that worries them. You know better. Be engaged to something worthwhile in life that when they see you growing okay, they give you the option to choose. If your father just won’t budge, then talk to girls. You can’t be forced into marrying without your consent legally. Ask someonesomeone elder to counsel your father alongside yourself and bring out all your maturity.

I agree with both of these people here
Follow your heart, instincts and your wisdom/mind :)
If your father still is persistent then you can just befriend some girls and stay friends but lie to your father so he will stop pestering you! It’s your life, you must make your own decisions!
Whatever you decide to do just make sure that you want to do it and that it feels right
