An offbeat Proposal: (Revised Updated 2019 Edition)

He pursued her avidly, writing her as many as three letters a day and even offering a celibate marriage to appease her fear of sex.— Ruth Franklin

An offbeat Proposal:

A confirmed bachelor at age 40-ish -- Looking for a live-in relationship -- Any body build would do:

1. ectomorphic

2. endomorphic

3. mesomorphic

Just kidding!

A Suitable Boy right out of Vikram Seth's novel is looking for you! Where're you? Would-be live-in partner eh? Hmm.

I’ll give you some keywords:

She’d be well-read, liberal, intelligent and pretty. (No brain-dead beauty, please!) Type B personality! Shouldn’t be tomboyish! Talkative. Great mind-set. Humor. This isn't a prerequisite but it'd be splendid if she: speaks impeccable and chaste Urdu; loves Urdu poetry; and is an American from Lucknow!

Postscript: Girls with braces -- Excuse me.
Braces you know:

braces plural, dentistry : an orthodontic appliance usually of metallic wire that is used especially to exert pressure to straighten misaligned teeth

Yep, yep. Those.
