I hope you two aren't related ;) Technically speaking, her family doesn't know about us. She is always worried about being in public together because, according to her, every single Pakistani knows someone who knows your family!


My family there is from India tho. And there are tons of brown people in Texas :P And in Canada!
And I hear you on the everyone knowing everyone thing...it's true! Being a 24 year old, young Indian girl, you gotta be careful about who sees you with who, especially a guy who is not Indian!

You're not dating a white guy by chance, are you? That would make my situation much easier if I knew there were other couples out there like us!


I totally am....lol. Ive been in a relationship with a Romanian guy for the past four years, and brought it up with my parents last year because we want to get married. Drama, drama, drama....it's still not resolved!


I know what must be going through. So you know what I mean when I say you have really made me happy :P Life is so much better when other people share the same pain lol


It does feel better knowing someone else is in the same situation! I hope everything works out for the best with you and your girlfriend. I really know that it can be awfully shitty sometimes. Indian/Pakistani people are over-concerned with too many things, lol. They need to just lighten up!

I take it your girlfriend is Muslim? I guess that adds the extra dimension of religion into your situation. I'm Christian, as is my boyfriend, but my parents are still the same old-fashioned types who want their kids to be with Indian people of the parents' choosing. Gah! It's really shitty...

If thats true then I definitely can't tell you! *NM* Dark Knight - 12/08/2010 06:15:24 AM 245 Views
It shouldn't be too hard to find a book + CD you can learn from. Why is software so important? *NM* Tim - 11/08/2010 05:38:48 PM 293 Views
Because my free time consists of 2 hours before bed *NM* Dark Knight - 11/08/2010 05:45:16 PM 249 Views

Yeah, it would be silly to waste your time on Devanagari when you need to learn the Arabic alphabet. Legolas - 11/08/2010 05:48:22 PM 647 Views
Very helpful! Thanks! Dark Knight - 11/08/2010 06:09:09 PM 601 Views

Seems like after two years, it might be time to let her family know about you... *NM* Legolas - 11/08/2010 06:43:55 PM 261 Views
We're about at that point Dark Knight - 11/08/2010 06:48:42 PM 517 Views

I learn something new everyday. I did not know that. Fascinating Dark Knight - 11/08/2010 08:17:16 PM 576 Views
There are like half a dozen movies about that topic... safe to say you're not alone. *NM* Legolas - 11/08/2010 08:06:30 PM 237 Views
The clash between new generation and old makes for some good movie material *NM* Dark Knight - 11/08/2010 08:20:40 PM 268 Views
I think you're missing the important thing here. Why does she want you to learn it? *NM* Palatine - 11/08/2010 06:32:58 PM 242 Views
Because she speaks to her family/friends in her language and doesnt want me left out Dark Knight - 11/08/2010 06:38:00 PM 571 Views
Okay, but none of them speak English? *NM* Palatine - 11/08/2010 06:42:25 PM 254 Views
Yes but its really a cultural thing Dark Knight - 11/08/2010 06:46:01 PM 564 Views
