The rights of an unmarried female Muslimah

I’m a 27 year old, practising and unmarried Muslimah. I have never dated or spoken freely with brothers and have always hoped my parents would find a suitable match for me in regards to marriage. But they’re very lax about this and aren’t active in seeking anyone. I’m very shy and don’t speak to brothers in that manner so the thought of finding someone myself via love marriage is pretty difficult.
