House hunting and Arranged Marriage

We are house hunting and but can't help draw an analogy to the Indian arranged marriage system.

There are multiple people looking at the same person/house.
If you like someone/something but try to take some time to think about it somebody else will scoop them/it before you and you feel dis-appointed
You don't have much time to make a decision and have to take leap of faith based on just external beauty
The longer you wait the more desperate you become and are more willing to settle for less and your demands change from hard to soft to anything.
The longer it goes the less enthusiastic the broker/realtor becomes and starts focusing on newer clients.

Any one else feel this way?

Random thoughts

Life is very fragile and fleeting. Got to make something out of it before its too late. I realize health/sound mind and body are key to anything in life. I will never change the course of history, I will never be remembered in the annals of human kind, I will just be a single grain in the sands of time. Got to do something, train my body and mind. Feel better at end of my life that I did something for myself and my loved ones and the communities I interact with. I believe finally that is all that matters in my very very tiny world.
