The “he has ‘had to’ say no due to our family class differences (mine are supposedly too high for his) and that I am more educated than him, currently studying my masters whereas he has no degree (not at all an issue for me), and he felt he couldn’t meet my demands in the future” might or might not be the actual, true reasons but think about it, they had a month to think about it…

Thanks for your reply. Sorry I may have been unclear in my OP- the no from him came 2 days after we met. I met him in person. The ‘rishta’ happened as my aunt saw him at a party and went up to him at the end and asked him if he was single as she was in awe of him all evening. He then told her he was and she showed him a pic of me and took one of him which she later showed me. He told her at that point his family are quite traditional and so even though she had taken his number, she asked my grandad to phone his uncle. His uncle, aunt and cousin then arranged to meet up my nana and mami that weekend to talk and they then arranged a meet up for us all 2 days later. Everything happened super quick and it felt very surreal.

I agree that boys nowadays would pursue an interest if they had one and this is one thing I need to fully accept in my head. I think my issue is that I have never felt this way before about any guy, which may be owed to the rejection and so subconsciously my brain may be in chase mode, but I feel I just need to be harsher with my mind and keep it in check and stop all these ‘what if’ thoughts.
