Footy,

How about narrowing your priorities? And getting acquainted to who you think might suit best.

I was never a 'player' but I did see a few women before I got married.

1. A pretty outgoing bombshell back in 1992 in Nepal, I was a teen then, still in junior high. She listened Lez Zepplin and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Thought I'd marry her, cos she looked like  one of those cheerleaders in 'Bring it on'. I didn't care she smoked, but mom did, and that  decimated my short love story before it even happened. Momma knows best, call me her boy. Hell I was only 15.

2. A 'fair' and extremely charming military-kid computer science major from Ambala, India in my engineering school. She liked me more than I liked her, but feared being kissed, worshipped saibaba much to my aggravation and thought drinking was bad. She told her sister about me and researched about Nepal. Should have retained that relationship and married her. Big Mistake, she is a manger in Sun Microsystem in California.

3. A hill-billy in Illinois, a very pretty psychology major who played lacrose, worked as a bartender and sucked in Maths. She liked me for a fact that I was smart guy who knew it all (all meant maths and physics). She was taller than me (and I am 5'10"). I liked her cos none of my friends back then had as 'thin' of a girlfriend. She moved to Kentucky with her sister after a year and that was it.

4. A grad student from New Hampshire, fell for her chatting in nepalnews chat. Met her twice, even drove to Miami together, but was so obsessive, called me 15 times a day and was irate when I didn't answer. She needed a lot of attention, seriously, A LOT. Wanted me to fly to Manchester every weekend from Chicago, would've become a pauper doing that. We had one loud argument on phone, that ended up name calling in voicemails. Perhaps would be reading this as I post it. So yes, if it is YOU, you know it is ME. LOL.

5. Aunt sent me a picture of this girl some years ago, she was pretty, my family knew hers and hers - mine. Mom loved her, but I feared I was getting into what I always resented the most - an arranged marriage. As much as I resented the coercion and pretended I wasn't going to fall for her, I did eventually. She complemented me like no woman ever did. Went to shrines with grandma, belted tequila and got wasted, tried cigar and coughed. visited Joplin to volunteer for red-cross, listened from Runa Laila to Joni Mitchell. I married her after a year of courtship and I'm happy.

Here is my take, no matter what you do, you will always end up doing what is best for not only you, but the people associated with you as well. And hate me for saying this, but when it comes to longevity of a relationship, mama's sister knows best.
