Don't keep seeing him if you don't like him, because nothing would be worse than a loveless marriage.

"Don’t keep seeing him if you don’t like him, because nothing would be worse than a loveless marriage. Marrying someone you don’t really like will make you more committed to marriage. It’s better to marry him than to endure dating him without really liking him. It’s better to commit to marriage with a man you can endure than with one you really like. "
