The answer

Hasten to agree to marry this young man, for he is a person of faith and good character. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "If there comes to you one whose religion and character you approve, then marry him. If you do not do so, there will be tribulation on earth and great corruption." Also, because he is suitable for your age, and in him there is satisfaction for your parents. Moreover, your marriage will keep you away from working with a non-mahram man, which could lead to fitna between you, as it is not permissible for a woman to be in seclusion with a non-mahram man.
