Re: As parents..

Re: As parents..
Sure thing. Tum par koi koi crush nahin kar raha. Tum kisi k laaik nahi ho. 
Re: As parents..
How would you react if your child came to you and said that they liked someone? Would your reaction differ depending on if its a son or a daughter?
I would definitely support them. Even if i have issues.

RV, our official rishta aunty :(
Re: As parents..
Reply to murgis last paragraph
actually it has happened in many cases where the boy said that he would like to marry a girl without getting to know her and seeing if they are a good spouse
btw no matter how often you speak to a person or get to know that person, like for a week, 2 years or even 10 years, you will never actually know what that person is like unless you start living with that person as husband wife
because I've seen an incident where the guy and girl were dating for like 10 years and thought they knew each other inside out but when they started living together like after a month, they were like omg u changed and infact they realised that although spending 10 years together they only started getting to know each other after marriage
so getting to know each other before asking for the rishta is sooonot right or not helpful either
Well, I'm not knocking down arranged marriages, but, in arranged marriages, the same problem exists, even more so. One really doesn't know what the guy/girl is like, and what their family is like since the interactions are just over tea and biscuits. If a kid chooses his own spouse then hopefully he's smart enough to not only figure out that regardless of what happens in the future, he will stick with this person. No method is fool proof. There are countless stories of divorces after arranged marriages too, so yeah, I don't see your point as a counter-argument.
Re: As parents..
Uh…NO. Would not want that role.

Re: As parents..
In all honesty, I'd be glad they found someone on their own rather than me trying to push something on them just because of our society. After that, ofcourse I'd check how suitable he/she is blahblahblahhh...
Re: As parents..
Well obviously if said at the right time - I wouldn't mind at all daughter or son
but yea if my 10-11 year old comes up saying mommy i wanna buy my gf an engagement ring - that truly wouldn't b e acceptable :p
Having crushes is quite natural - encouraging them at a very young age isn't right. No matter how good you have raised your kids - peer pressure and at times curiosity could lead to stuff you wouldn't ever encourage them to get into.
There is a very fine line b/w good and bad after all ... :)
Re: As parents..
with this avatar, doesnt really seem possible too :halo: it would rather scare away if any one is ever born here on GS to have crush on you
Re: As parents..
Yeah, but then you may also have to pay the girl to marry you. Hehehe
