You're choosing some answers for yourself... I think that will be far more satisfying than just doing what someone else tells you - whether the advice is traditional or modernistic.

wait for a truly compatible life partner
|
This is still a little vague. On the one hand, you seem to hope that you'll find that person among those your parents suggest for you. On the other hand, you seem to have doubt that they'll actually succeed in finding someone for you. Also, you refer to a compatible partner sharing your religious principles, but then you also refer to someone who is compatible while following a different religion.

I think so far the conclusion from my thought process
|
This phrase sounds to me like someone who's still riding the circular railroad, rather than happy and peaceful with a solid decision.
I believe it would be helpful to you to clarify exactly what you mean by "truly compatible." What would this person be like, and what would your life be like with this person? I echo the suggestion to write to this person in your mind. I recommend that letter be from the point of an ideal day. "Dear Beloved, Thank you for sharing this ideal day with me..."

I'm trying to win the approval of this friend
|
That's downright unhealthy... unless your friend is a proven leader in moral, spiritual, and life happiness success, whose wisdom has empowered millions to succeed with joyously loving families. Anyone less than that, and they have
no business being the focus of your attention to seek approval. From the beliefs you have described, the only approval you need comes from: 1. God; 2. Your parents, to the extent you want to follow tradition; 3. Your conscience. What is your friend doing anywhere near this list, let alone at the top of it?
