I guess it all depends on your nature and how you want to initially interact. Also on your social boundaries like you have pointed out.

I used to live with an American couple where the husband was a lawyer with a prestigious firm and the wife was a designer and their home was like a mansion. I was a paying guest for some time. They seem to be so much in love and so social with their friends and all. But i was really surprixed to learn that they first met online. Even i thought online forums were for losers or with 'out of date' people but it does not seem so. Even look at all indians, they seem to all end up on the Shaadi forums.

The lady told me that she always wanted to met this 'mysterious' man and send him letters and all wordy stuff and thus the online site helped her and she met her 'mysterious' man there. She seemed very sociable in real life and loved parties and all but she prefered other means to find the guy.

So i guess it depends on how much effort you want to take upon yourself and also how easy you feel in interaction. If you do not drink and going to bar/club is not your scene. You do not like Nepali gatherings because all programs seem the same and you do not have big friends circle of Nepalis, then what options do you have.

And honestly, i am sure there are lot of Nepali guys who dislike public gatherings too.

Well, hoping for a 'Happy Ending'. Keep us posted.

Damn, you've got to be shitting me here.  I still can't fathom why any couple with such a good job and living "in a mansion" would ever opt to have a paying guest (when I think of paying guests, I think of students/young adults who cannot afford much rent).  This makes NO damn sense at all.  I'd expect peeps who live in apartments to have roomates or even in moderate houses to have paying guests (still rare here) but c'mon someone in a mansion looking for a paying guest??  Next time, pls know that there are peeps here who do not follow the herd and will shut down anyone trying to pull wool over their eyes.

Samsara, sadly though you find that group funny, I am in that group too. Though I dont know whats happening there most of the times. I hope you dont think about "knocking some sense into me". lol

Samsara - what is your problem?????

She was my friend and she thought it would be nice for me to stay in one of the rooms in her home and enjoy their indoor pool. Especially when her husband was travelling a lot and she used to work from home. Do you have any problem with that ?

Do we have to give justification to everything we post? This guy is such a loser that he seek each words what others have to say so that he can make himself more 'STUPID'.

Sheetalb, this whole thread is now reeking of the highst quality gas...I'm passing out!!   hahahah  As far as days of yore, You've always shitted your way into the sajha threads and now is the perfect opporutuntiy for someone to say, "WE'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR BULLSHIT."  I didn't pick anyone else but you since your posts have always been a little too condesecending on the rhetoric of all sajhaites.  Damn, and now this has got to be the thread that broke the camel's back...You go on to say that you were invited to stay there to enjoy the pool??  WTF?  And you still had to pay when you get invited??  hahaha  Oh, and I presume you must've been paying rent at your other apartment too?  hahaha  Listen, I've lived the past 8 years among the so called "American" peeps and they ALL value their space.  Hell, even my brother in law thinks I am a pest when I visit my sister's place and stay for more than 5 days (and they are my family!!).  C'mon and you lived there??  And for someone living in a mansion why on earth would they even ask you to stay as a "paying" guest (don't they have enough money rather than just rent a room out for a couple hundred dollars?)...BTW, Pls don't pull wool over our eyes by saying that you paid rent there as there is no way on hell I ever see peeps in mansions looking for a roommate (maybe the ones in apartments would look for a roomie but c'mon peeps in mansion looking for roomies??)!!  hahahah  If what you're saying is right then these folks must be so down and out that they're the ones who were among those trapped in the sub-prime fiasco!  hahaha   Get a life instead of shitting about your abnormal life here on sajha.  It's hysterical to see your likes here but even that has a point of tolerance!!  Man, this wannabe smarty has dung for brains!  hahahaa

Rythm, I don't even recollect crossing paths with you, so knocking some sense into you is a statement that cannot be applied as yet...That honor of being knocked down is only for those who think we at sajha were all born yesterday by putting up monolithic size lies here.  LMAO
