Matchmaking is a fucking cringe

I live in a shithole village in southeastern Poland and my mum decided to find me a husband. She chose her friend's son. He was in my class in primary school but that was 12 years ago and even then we didn't know each other very well and hardly ever talked to each other. I'm a jobless, uneducated shit, i didn't finnish my school and lost my job 3 months ago due to the crisis, and he is quite wealthy because he works as an engineer. My mum forced me to take on my best dress and visit him, our mothers then forced us to spend an hour in his room talking. He was as confused as I was and we both was happy when it was over. The worst of all is that my mother thinks that her matchmaking intrigue is succesful and we fancy each other.

This shit should not be legal

It's some old world shit practices pre-internet or hella older than that.
Your mum is basically trying to get you married the old fashioned way which sucks and is not even effective, quick or consistent. I respect the ovaries of your mom for having the guts to try to "help" you out and she probably doesnt realize she made everything more unconfortable.

Anyway is the guy cute at least? If not you should look elsewhere definitely who cares about career as long as the moid is consistent in providing, doesn't have to be super rich just one that can make you happy in every way. Money matters but there is such thing as enough, all of the other "Stats" must be balanced as well.

I think it's worth trying but he might be too confused the yesterday situation.
Also having a smuggler dad is awesome until he gets caught which happened when I was 7. 4 years later he died in prison hospital due to heart problems. My mum is a retired teacher. I also have an uncle (dad's brother) who was always nice to me and his son who is my only friend. My older sister works as a doctor in Warsaw, she always despised me and since she become a doctor she is even more haughty. I meet her only during christmas. After all, this family is quite strange to say the least.

UPDATE
I met him, we walked trough the forest (in this village there is no restaurant or any better place to talk) apologizing each other for what happened yesterday and talking about what happened in our lives since we finished the school. He used to have 3 friends in the village but one of them migrated to England, second moved to city and third is drug addicted gambler who is always borrowing money from him, so he was glad that he can talk to somebody else at least. He is, as I said, an engineer, he always was clever (I wasn't an idiot too, I was quite good at Polish, English and history but I played truant a lot to avoid being bullied by other kids). I still have a lot of sympathy to him for not being one of those kids. I told him where I worked before I was fired and that it's good to know that he's more succesful. Of course I didn't tell him about my sister being a doctor, cause I'm so much failed when compared to her. We also talked about our old friends, TV series, books, politics etc. He seems to like me but I don't think it's romantic at all, I'm more like good old friend to him.

He works online from his house and I don't really have anything to do now, I hervested my field in the summer, but now the harvest is over and I won't probably find new job soon cause there is no job for people with my lack ofeducation so I spent last few weeks watching movies and drinking before the screen which is definetely not the way of life I'd like to continue.

OP, you don't seem dumb. It sounds like you were better at humanities. Your English seems to be of a very high level. Have you thought about going to college (place between university and high school) and getting some qualifications? You could be an English teacher, translator or proof-reader.

Regarding the guy, maybe just get to know each other? He doesn't seem terrible and at the very least you will both have someone to hang out with. Make it clear to him you want to get to know each other a bit before deciding to properly date so he doesn't get the wrong idea.

Have you thought about streaming? I'm not saying it's a serious "career", but just for now. I dropped out of college because of my mental illness and to be honest I don't plan to go back, I don't even want to be around people anymore. I want to try streaming video games and sell my art (until I find a job, and then maybe do both). Many young people started streaming because of corona.

You should make some plans for your own future. You should at least finish school somehow. Helping your mother out is a valid argument. She should help you too with stuff then. But you really should start attending evening school. Do you have a drivers licence? Get one too.

ANOTHER UPDATE
He visited me today. He told that it had been nice to talk to me yesterday and we should talked more. We sat in my living room for a few hours and watched a movie (vid rel). We recalled old days and I haven't felt so good for years now. I think he trusts me and I can trust him even if we are just friends. We should have started talking to each other years ago, we are very similar to each other, we are both outsiders and we have similar vievs on many things.

I’m cognizant of the fact that arranged marriages are a cover for child grooming, sexism, exploitation, and other variants of quasireligious human trafficking in parts of the world

However in the abstract, I don’t think arranged marriages are always doomed to fail or be loveless. I mean, the circumstances under which couples have been meeting for millennia are already constrained by random butterfly effect factors out of our control (eg went to same school, attended university together, coworkers, grew up in same neighborhood). In some aspect you can see selection by parents as a logical evolution of selection by timing / location / random chance. Plus your parents *should know your preferences and personality attributes you’d get along with if they’re not retards. Idk just once I’d like to read about an arranged couple that got along really well and ended up falling in love happily more than a “traditional” couple

I fucked up again. I should have agreed when he proposed to help me but I looked really bad and I tought my mother will help me. She planned to visit my sister and come back in Monday, but I assumed that her another daughter injuring her leg and staining half of the house with blood is enough for her to change plans. I was wrong. Birthday of my sister's husband is more important. Now I'm alone, and I can't stay in bed cause I must eat but every step is so painful. Moreover he surely feels rejected, because of my foolish pride. Fuck. All I wanted was some magical mushrooms and comfy time with him during my mother's absence. I'm a hopeless idiot.

If you can get into a trade school or polytechnic, you can usually use the fact that you were let into the polytechnic to get into university. I did that (in New Zealand.)
You might also try faking high school qualifications in order to get into a polytech, they are much less vigilant about that kind of thing.

Not sure where you live but is there not a high school equivalency degree you could get? In the U.S. it's the GED, not sure what it is elsewhere.
