________________ personal values. It was because our values matched that we clicked. My advice to Jain singles is this. - Be Open Minded: I know the process sucks and it totally awkward but if you give it an honest effort, then only can something come from it. If you go in with a negative attitude, you should not even both wasting your time. - Get Beneath the Surface: Think about it....you live until you are 80-90 years old. You make a life decision at 25 years. You are basically making decision on how you will spend the rest of your life given you've only lived a fourth of it. People often get caught up on how they are "now", at 25 years. They think about their life-style, their friends, their interest. After marriage, things change. You may live in a different city, you may have kids, etc etc. What doesn't change is your values. Your tastes will change but your values do not. In order to find someone to click with, look for common values. - Which Values Matter: I've thought about this quite a bit and though your values may differ than mine, I've come to realize that there are a few specific "categories" that play heavy importance in everyone's life. These categories are Family, Career, and Lifestyle. I can go into each of these and explain why these three, how they play a big role in values, and what to look for. - Monica Jain Milan
