Thanks Loote, looks like you are recharged after that cup of coffee. I told him I loved him very much and wanted to marry him before he left...we got back inside the house after that 'proposal' and he was with us for another hour or so...and he looked like a happy man. My parents say they are saying no because he is not a nepali and that they dont know the guy...I tell them they will know the guy if they talk to him..they refuse to saying 'why should we'? Have tried to convince them for a long time (3 years) and finally decided its better if we get married soon coz they are just gonna say the same thing. And when the time came.....well, i asked him to ask me later..and he said he will. :-(
