In my opinion, there is a decferinfe between love marriage and negotiated marriage . What has been described is definitely negotiated marriage, because the premise of asking the other person is premedidated i.e. you have already decided that he/she is good marriage material. When you meet somebody and realize that you have good chemistry with them amd this closeness/compatibility translates into a wish to marry that in my definition is love marriage. There is a lot more spontaniety in the second case over the first. That's how I like to see it.
