I can't believe I'm doing this!.....

Ok. I said that I would never do this but here goes...

Let me start with the story. My brother, who's 33, had once upon a time been engaged to a
girl who he liked/engaged to but the family caused probs because she was a year older and
the engagement broke off. A number of years later he became interested in another sister
and our father refused because she wasn't from our country of origin. Now that he's
older, our father doesn't care anymore but my brother is very upset at our parents and blames
them for his broken engagements and him not getting married cause it was supposed to be
their responsibility. (Our dad isn't too crazy about him finding someone on his own and my
mom can't do anything either because of certain situations) Anyway, he waited a long time
because he was ticked off and refused to get married until now.

My mom keeps asking me, you go to the masjid, see if there are any available sisters. But
I'm really shy and how in the world am I going to go up to someone and say, "Hey wanna
marry my brother?" Ah, no way! Plus I don't know anyone there. I told my mom why doesn't he
go up to the imam where he is and ask for his help. It was a stupid question because even
though he's got a good heart, he doesn't go to the masjid and he's got alot of jahil with
no fault of his own.

To make an already long story short, this post could go under the naseeha section BUT in
a not so obvious way I'm trying to ask if there are any sisters who are interested...:(
(Whew!...See I'm even shy asking it in writing!)

(He tried the online Muslim marraige thing but it made his head spin cause it was too
complicated for him.....Oh oh and it's not like he's ugly, he's actually quite attractive.
It's just the naseeb hasn't arrived yet but it can't come to us if we don't attempt to go
after it, ya know?)

Anyway, some advice would be better than nothing.
