For instance, does he make eye contact with you while he speaks? That shows his confidence. Does he smile while talking, or is he expressionless as he speaks? A smiling face is a happy soul, who will always give you good company. Is he interested in what you are saying or keeps checking his phone every now and then?

Women are more spontaneous than men when it comes to talking. They often speak before analysing the consequences and regret it later. Men however do not do that.

Like most women, men too can be shy at starting conversations. The arranged marriage scenario can be as new and frightening for them as it is for you, and so they might seem to come across as being shy. If you feel that he just is not talking, then you make the effort and get the conversations started. If he still chooses to stay mum, then he is just actually shy or an introvert!
Wanting a wife who respects his parents is not a wrong thing to expect as he loves his folks just the way you love and respect your own. So, if he points this out in his conversations, do not mistake him for being demanding. He is just trying to tell you that he is close to his parents and wants a partner who loves them as her own. And, he too will show the same love and care towards your parents always!
