Tell someone you confide in that you like him and he/she should tell her. Then ask him to send the rishta to your home and live happily ever after. Remember Western style lines to ask our and Western style dating is taboo in our culture and prohibited in our religion.
^ reminds me of what my mom has always told me and my sisters....
"** if he REALLY likes you....he wont date you and do "things" with you..he'll send a rishta and do everything the right way.** "
now that I am older and a little bit wiser...I completely agree with her. :)
