Parents, relatives vs. Dating--How does one conquer the latter over the first two?

Ignore other comments. Don't be a typical white american who will just move out because you want a more freedom to do whatever you want.

Don't do anything drastic that will caused bridge to be burned or you will regret hurting relationships with parents and family.

Just talk it out with your parents. I am sure they love you and are not your enemy.

what parents wouldn't want their kids to be happy?

Arrange marriage isn't too bad. Think of it this way. It's a way for your parents to give you choices and you get to decide the outcome. You still can find love even in arrange marriage. Arranged marriage is ok. It's not like you will meet one girl and boom, you are forced to marry her.

It's not like that these days. You can date and get to know each other.

It's even better this way because families are involved and there's more trust and understanding in dating. You will have mature girl who understands that this isn't some game. There's less chance of being cheated or being played or any of that dating dramas.

I was like you before. I have families that are nosy and my parents wanting to control my life. Not anymore. We all are close friends now and I am 31 and still not married.

I am asking my parents to find me a girl. Because I haven't had best luck in finding a girl on my own.

If you sit down with them and be OPEN with them. Show them that they can trust you by sharing everything with them, they will be more lenient and more understanding.

Don't be a rebel. Don't be stupid and move out because that will cause strains in your life later down the road.

Be loving to them. they love you. I am sure they don't hate you.
