Femme_fatale,

Apologies for mistaking your identity. I was totally convinced that you were "The Dude" indeed! But after I questioned him on Facebook, I suppose you didn't turn out to be him albeit you could really be him, so to be on the safe side, I'll be referring to you as "it".

But yes, you made fair points.

Stupida,

Props for bringing out the issue of boy and a girl living together. As I already mentioned before, I've never dated a Nepali chick. There was a time during my Junior year when I lived off-campus with my girlfriend ( American ) and thats what told me that living together before marriage is a big no-no! The romance factor disappeared and of course other things too.

But coming back to the thread, dolphin hit it on the nail and elaborated on what I was trying to find out because there are many like Dolphin and myself ( although Dolphin seems to be a little budho than me ) who've reached that time of our lives when we begun starting thinking about significant others. Its a tough task, it seems, for someone who's made a vow to get married to a Nepali girl. Further, culture, religion and other things obviously complicate things too. There was a time last week when a girl sent me an email from Nepal explaining who she was. Oddly enough, I didn't know that my aunt had asked her to email me so that we could get to know each other and it wasn't until I sent a reply and I quote myself " Who are you? ", that I found out who the girl was. I felt bad for her and was a little embarrassed too.

But anyways, the sole purpose of this thread is to find a way to ensure that many including I, didn't fall for the emotional blackmail trap! I seek better. I don't want to correspond to my wife-to-be via email or chat! People try to act at their best when they're dating! God knows how truthful people are when they present/introduce themselves to others via email/chat! I know this by personal experience! My cousin ( shivajiko bhakta ) was doing some hits on the day of his marriage and got dumped in 3 days. Anyways, I suppose I'm getting too deep in this discussion.

So any other budhas in here who'd want to come forward and share how their "arranged" marriage worked out?
