Hi, everyone! I had another question today that is closely related to a post I posted yesterday, so for context:
So my current question is about what to do if my parents are adamant about me finding a Macedonian Jewish girl long-term (I.e., to have a family, get married etc.) but I have been struggling to find Macedonian Jews in general, much less Macedonian Jews who are my age, female, in the USA, and willing to date a medical student. I agree fully with my parents’ appraisal and wishes, since I strive to honor what they want; I trust them and I am also of the belief that I couldn’t truly be compatible with or unconditionally love someone who did not speak my language or understand the nuances of my culture and background (plus it would be great for them to be a dual citizen like I am, in order to make living and traveling home for long periods easier). I am not sure how to find or even look for that person and what to do if I can’t find them/how to cope, since at the moment, it all feels impossible.
And of course, I fully understand that making a relationship work necessitates sacrifices, give and take, and so much more. As a guy in my mid 20s with (at the moment) no friends, no relationships, etc. mostly due to a lack of cultural connection with my peers, I would really like to find a person I can share the good times with and some whine to whom I can be caring and open while enriching their life though whatever means I can within the lens of a shared culture. I just have no idea how to find that special someone and no clue what to do long-term if I can’t find that person (as I would much rather be in the cold, hard ground than live a life without connection or settle for someone that doesn’t even understand my culture).
