This used to be more common years ago. But still happens today. Arranged marriages, marriages for security, marriages for the sake of getting married, marriages for practicality, etc. It’s usually women who marry men who they don’t feel physically attracted to but like them for other reasons. But what about vice versa?
I have an opportunity to do this for a financial boost. For the last three years I’ve become close friends with a girl who I really like/respect but neither one of us have strong feelings for each other. She’s a foreigner that’s been living in the USA for 6 years and her visa ran out. She wants to marry for citizenship. She offered a substantial amount of money to me if I decided to do this. She’s very independent and a very hard worker.
She was initially very attracted to me. I liked her too but to brutally honest I never felt head over heels for her physically. We did have sex twice but we later agreed to just be friends (feeling is honestly mutual).
I honestly really do want to get married to someone decent and respectable. But at the same time there has to be at least some attraction. My last relationship ended in disaster because I tried to force myself to date more for personality than looks. It wasn’t fair to either one of us. I don’t want to do that again to someone else. But she’s not in love with me either. But we do respect each other.
Is there any upside to this? Dating has been hell on earth for me otherwise for the last few years.
