Going on date with an East Indian guy...

[YankeeCandle]

Is he Hindu or Christian?

Or Muslim, Sikh, Jain, Buddhist, or Baha'i?

 

[Optimus_Prime]

If he's baha'i you're in like flynn.

Ahem, now as per my original point erplexed

Out of curiosity, why would this be the case?
I

 

[Briabiggles]

My boyfriend is from India. He's the best!

Perhaps because Baha'i faith does not do arranged marriages? I might be wrong.

 

[NYAmicas]

Glad you had a great time.

 

[Bunny77]

I think it's because Baha'i actually promotes interracial marriages/relationships, right?

I think you are indeed correct.

So he wants to go out again. I think I'll give it another go ladies.

He seems eager to treat me and eager to impress, which I do not see a lot with guys around here.

Many guys around here act as if all women are golddiggers and try to 'test' us because of that. This guy is the total opposite. I wonder if it is cultural?

Hmm... maybe it's location... I've been lucky to not have a man try to test me and assume I or other women might be golddiggers... thank goodness!

Have fun on your second date... and BTW... go USA Hockey!!!!!!

You already know.

I think location, age, and many other factors play a part. I see men talk all of this crap, but honestly I think if a guy is really into you, all of that goes out the window.

Keep us posted on this one- he seems really sweet!

And I agree with the others-- don't treat him like he's a special "project," lol. He's not an alien... just another guy

Man I could sure use some naan and rogan josh right about now . . .

Yea, I'm shocked that I put so much thought into this, but it is VERY new to me. The more I get to know him, the more comfortable I am. I had all of these misconceptions about Indian guys--then I realized that many people have those misconceptions about us and that can get in the way of getting to know someone.
