Meeting people

Shinoo, first of all dont try so hard, you sound very needy and that just cant be good. I am sure you will know when you meet the right person and will have enough topics to continue your conversation for hours.

And if you are still single in your mid thirties, I will marry you.

I dont think she sounds needy at all:she is asking for suggestions and information. How can that sound so needy?I am sure a lot of other girls had the same questions but not every one has the guts to post them out here. I am glad someone did :)

I agree, Ira.

Ok my cousin is in the same situation as you and she hates it....

I will give you a list of things she has tried to 'meet' people:

-networking through friends -and that includes cousins they might have in other countries -all you have to do is exchange msn's, then a pic, then phone numbers and take it from there!

-websites such as naseeb or shaadi or even GS! A thread like this should have sent you some pm's . I am sure almost everyone knows a guy who is looking to get married -you just talk and through email and if thigs go well you can talk on the phone etc

-speed dating -do you have this in Holland. My cousin just signed up for it and still has to go to the actual event -I'll keep you updated

-Attend any desi events you have in your city let it be concerts to religious events -get yourself out there where other desis are

-Matrimonial sites -have you tried this yet? One of my friends have and she has made more friends than potential hubbys but that just proves that there is some decent people on them.

IF all else fails -involve teh parents (we are lucky to have this option most non-desi's stay single or do the whole 'mail order' bride)!

Fayz-
I know there’s always some kind of risk involved. What I meant was that I want to know for certain that someone is willing to commit and not just looking for a fling. LIke jab baat serious honay lagge some guys get ‘scared’ and back out.

Ashtray-
You totally missed my point. I’m not desperate at all, I’m just looking for ways to connect with people. That doesn’t mean that I’m going to hook up with the first guy that shows interest. I know things like these take time. ANd no, I haven’t been bombarded with PM’s and that was totally not what I was looking for by posting this. I know there are plenty of girls here who’d like to have tips and maybe read about how others dealt with this.

Thanks Ira and Sahar :flower1:

Mizz ANgel666-
Thank you! That was very informative. I’ve heard of speed dating here in Holland but only for dutch people so far. I haven’t really considered any matrimonila sites. I’d like to try other ways first. My sis sends me ads every now and then but I’ve never responded to any of them.

I am always looking for a highly compatible girl! :)

Why, whats wrong with GS guys? Comments like this just make it harder to think of you as been approachable. On the one hand you want advice, on the other you dont think very positively of people getting in touch with you. Unless you are only considering guys whom you actively know in real life, I would say most of your connections may occur through email, phones chat or other "non physical face to face" means. That is assuming you accept such mediums of exchange.

God, the story of my life... Shinoo i feel ur pain

hmcq, where did you read that I don’t think very positively of people who getting in touch with me or that I think there’s something wrong with GS guys? No, I did not open this thread cuz I was hoping for people to PM me or whatever. Yes I want advice and I’m open for it what does that have to do with being ‘approachable’? :confused:

ANyhow, I think this thread has served his purpose. Some people have misunderstood with what I was trying to get out of it..
Thanks everyone for your sincere advice and tips :slight_smile:

Mods, please close it for now, thank you
