Question

My question is:

I have a proposal from a person who my parents have agreed to....I havent found any fault in him but my heart completely refuses to accept it...

I did Istikhara and I saw only one dream where my mother turned to me and said that you should refuse this proposal....I did not see any other dream and did not feel anything good or bad either....But whenever I see the person's picture I dont feel comfortable and do not want to go ahead with it....

My parents said yes to the person , but I was still not compelled....then while talking to him the person disclosed his real age, (they told his age younger to that earlier)....When I told my mother she said they lied to us...and then she said  no to them....as I have seen in my dream...

The person has contacted me again...

Kindly suggest what should I do...My parents fear that they wont get a better proposal then this....and they fear future....I on the other hand, still not convinced enough...

Jazak Allah khair...
