Hey lash !

Nice stories guys. Very interesting to read.
I'm only 18 and still single because all of my crushes have been a one sided love. [my side]😆
But but but...well i know this guy and he's been my friend for a looooooong time and well everyone keeps telling me that he likes me becuz of the way he acts around me and I think so too. In fact, i like him back but I havent told anyone because I will get teased for it till the end of time and i dont want to ruin our freindship if he doesn't like me back.
anyways enouf of that. This one time, i was doing my project which had ot be handed in and i was freakign out because i had procratinated till the end and didn't finish it like i wanted to.
So he came up to me while im freaking out here and trying to work. and hes like "am i annoying u" he was staring at me work and i have this phobia where if u stare at me longer than 10 seconds i tend to freak out and get all self conscious. and i sed yes kind of. and then he said "on a level of 1 to 10 how angry are u" to which i replied "bloooddy 20000 thousand" then he understood how panicked i was.
so he took my project and started decorating it and told em to chyll out and get some rest ebcause i hadnt slept in 2 days. and he decolated it all for me and even went to hand it in. hee hee i got 90% on it.
thats abt all in my sad non-existent love life. but to all my fellow single memebers here: "i think. therefore, im single." LOL

Aww!!! That was such a cute story HH. Hmm...it seems that I also follow your philosophy of "I think, therefore I'm single"..lolz, or maybe it's the fact that I'm 19, going to be in my third year of college, and my parents just won't lighten up about the whole dating thing!!! It's so frustrating yaar!!! I see all these great, eligible guys and I can't say a thing to them about how I feel, and I keep getting too many responses from guys that are not even my type!!!! I told my parents though, that when I graduate from college and I'm living on my own and working, I'm gonna date... I'm not saying that it's gonna happen immediately, but whenever it'll happen, I won't have anyone holding me back! They were like "Ok, as long as you'll be establishing yourself, working, doing your Masters and being independent, and taking care of yourself". Thank God they agreed to that 'cuz I was not about to wait around forever for them to give me an answer...well maybe until I'm done with college..lol..
same samemy parents r liek settle down first finish skool up. ahah they r lucky im sort of unlucky in love. ahah
OK my story is a lil diff. story "love marriage jo logo ko lagti hei ki arrange hei"
we actually met online (ya thanks to technology and superfast internet). I had said (or tried saying hi) to him in 95 and good luck for his job interview and he got mad at me😭 (and till today i dont know why) so i swore never to talk to him ever in my life!!!! but 3 years later in 1998 one day he came up to me and said "hi" (all at this chat side my friend hooked me to at that time so i said hi and how are you? (in gujju as i am a gujju and i knew hes one too) and took him by surprise (now he tells me he loved the way i said how are you??? (I said "aap" and not "tum" like all the girls who talked to him in past) nyways the story is very long but to make it short. I will say he never said "i love you" !!!After meeting for like a week or so i finally gave him my cell number and i know that in 1998 he was in AT&Ts "preffered customer" list ('coz of his long distance calls). we were in two diff. parts of the world btw.. him in the north(the US) and me all the way in the south (downunder).
hers how he said "ilove you"(well not really)
i was working f/t and studying p/t so one day on my way to univ. from work he calls up to talk so after normal chat like hi hello and stuff he says he wants to tell me something and after 2 full hours of me trying to ask what exactly, he says "i like the way you care about me, u r more than a friend to me" so i said "ur best friend???"(hehehehe ya sure i didnt say that😛) all i said was "OK i know what u mean, only one problem my parents r looking for a macth for me and i dont wanna go against them💔" so poor thing said ok but kept calling me atleast twice a day just to hear me say "I like him too or love him" (still likes it when i say "i love you jaan" which i dont say often😵...hmmmmmmm i need to do something and be like armaan!!)( and till today i get to hear "i love u so many times a day, dont know its just the way its always been)
but but but i was the one who asked the question first (ya even i cant believe i actually said that!!!😳) oh well, here i go again..it all happened after him saying "he likes me" he used to call so many times...as soon as i get into office the receptionist would say i have a msg from Mr. ahm ahm ahm and then atleast two more calls during the day and then maybe 2 more on cell phone (no wonder AT&T liked him so much!!!) all asking the same thing "so what do u think??" i kept on saying "let me think i'm so busy with work rite now, didnt have time to think about it" so one day he got so mad saying "what do u think i am??? i call u everyday and u still havent decided anything??? so me being the same said ok whatever whatever whatever😡.... and the conclusion?! we stopped talking😭!!!!! i never picked up the calls and told the receptionsit not to transfer the call!!!!! (ya very very very bad!!!) these all happened in september and in november on my birthday he calls to say sorry and also to wish me too (he actually remembered my b'day????) and a lot of other stuff happened too which made me think about him and I finally thought .......and thought a lot and rite on his birthday (which is also in november) i asked him the question!! and ya he was surprised and still remembered my words and said "first let our families agree" and after that our families met kundlis matched to 93% and we got married in 99.
Oh and he officially asked the question one month b4 our engagement when he had come to meet my family. He said it at the centre point tower (we were at the viewing gallery) this is in sydney, Autralia.
The most interesting part is I never ever gave my contact info. to anyone on chat site ever (now i dont even go but when i used to go) and he asked only once and i gave my number w/o even thinking or pausing for a sec. just had to happen i guess!!!
A lot of stuff happened in between and after us fighting getting back together and b4 telling our families that brought us so much closer and even now we have our fights and both saying sorry and what not it just brings us closer (or atleast thats what i think)
hmmmmmmm forgot about the kiss part oh well, i'm married and have a daughter too so i dont mind saying it, it was from my hubby only.. 2 days b4 we got engaged, we had gone out to a park and it happened there..lasted for a while (now now i'm not gonna go in details ladies...)
im going to keep all these stories stored so that whenever i get to make a serial, i dont have to scratch my head for ideas.😊
so nice to read all thes posts.,

okay rupal and peaches i have finally mustered courage to post something here again....
now within these paragraphs i am not trying to patronize arranged marriages nor am i trying to hint that this is how things will turn out for all those who will have an arranged marriage.....but this is how it turned out for me....
let me be frank, i did have a couple of crushes before marriage....but i knew none of them are gonna work out as my parents are very very orthodox and they had soo soo many dreams as to how they will chose a guy for me and how they will arrange the wedding so grandly in a typical maharashtrian fashion. So I totally left the decision to them. As I knew that i was going to have an arranged marriage, I had this policy (or whatever you may call it) that i will not refuse the boy just based on looks - i.e. if his character and education are satisfactory are good, I will not bias based on looks and i will not say "no" to the boy...
Now the irony of my case was that, my parents were looking around for guys for 6 months carefully - looking into the past, present and future of different proposals. however, the proposal that was supposed to work out for me was one that would catch both the parties totally unaware. It all happened so suddenly no one had time to think....It happened overnight and so fast as my hubby's parents had to leave chennai for hyderabad the next day. As soon as they came to know of us, they called us & told us in the night that they would come to see the the very next morning - so the horoscope matching happened at night...and next morning they came home and everything was fixed within 2 hours...they left for hyderabad....
i was soo shocked (the previous night i did not know a guy like this existed and the next morning i was engaged to spend my life with him). As there were so many people at home, i couldnt say no even if i wanted to. it was the same case for my hubby (a little birdie told me that he was a little particular about the girl's looks & thanks God the girl was pretty. the problem was that he couldnt have said no even if the girl was ugly as there was just sooo much confusion- this info ticked me off)......it was just mass confusion. obviously myself and my hubby discussed normal stuff like education/ salary/ children/ london/ blah/ blah/...but he was not a person like any other i had met...i did not like his attitude very much - he was a very very frank person - pretty argumentative and i did not like his father's overbearing personality commanding my parents as well....but i just could not say no....cos people presumed it was a yes..i was not happy at all.......
everyone's courting period would be one of their best, but mine was really bad...my hubby had never never interacted with girls (other than his sis) before, and he hence used to get very very possessive of me..... something that i did not like..and he never used to request me to do anything, didnt have a polished attitude i must say - a little on the rude side....however, one thing was sure he was totally in love with me.....so much in love i could not figure how..he has spent sooo much money on me (about thousands of pounds) we'd talk over phone everyday for 4 hours non-stop...and do stuff for me i could not even imagine doing for someone...i was not in love with my husband when i married him. i respected his intelligence, maturity, frankness and his love for me...but i was not in love with him...
after the first few months....i however, started having an effect on his "expression of love towards me"..... he slowly started changing...and he started becoming tamed....his quick temper mellowed....he became more polished...our arguements reduced......he started understanding me....he started giving me space..he started changing his "obsession" to a toned down possesive attitude...and now 3 years down the line..the only traces of my ex-tempest hubby are in these words that i have put down here....i have never seen a person change for someone sooo much...he has become sooo soft and soo polished.....as mentioned he had said that he wanted a beautiful & smart girl...but after my wedding i gained nearly 20 kgs....there was not a hint of difference in his attitude though.......he has spoilt me soooo much that i have become the devil 😈 u see me on IF (unlike the polished gal my parents brought me up)
If you think this story is like that of Beauty and the Beast - then yes it is...😳
i have also understood my inlaws who consider me nothing other than their daughter....
now peaches and rupal i cannot promise that this is what will happen in your case....as what happens to everyone is decided by fate...but as times have changed, in today's mordern world, there is a lot of chance that you will be happy in an arranged marriage...
this has to be technically the longest post i have typed...i am so tired i need glucose now
P.S. by the way i have lost 15 kgs of the weight that i gained...😊
lash i loved your words which are honest and straight from your heart! may god bless both of you!!!😳!!!
