Finally gave into my family wishes and opened up a shaadi account. Got a few matches locally and a few living on the opposite coast. What’s the usual protocol for meeting people out of town? Skype sounds really lame. For locals is it similar to a Hinge date or are there more filters to it? Thx all TC 200k
On the same boat. I've lost to my mom and dad. They said I've failed to secure a match during the given time. Now everything is in their hands. FFS
Failed to secure a match in the given time lmao. That is so desi. Did they also say “sharma ji ke bete ko deko. 6 mahine men teen matches leke aaya. Warna tu, nalayak”
Fucking sharma ji ka beta man. No matter where
Better talk on phone and vid call first to gauge the interest and comfort of the opposite person. Work out a place/city and time that works for both of you. Then go and meet. I repeat Don’t push for a sooner meeting till the opposite person is absolutely interested and serious. Some of my friends took leaves and travelled in long flights just to find that the match was just fishing / casually looking/ evaluating options. Don’t waste the other persons time and money in the process and make sure he/she too understands it.
Wow. Thanks for this.
Should we directly ask if she is seriously looking or timeline or something like that? Or will it be too rude? Some people take longer time to be comfortable and take decisions..How to know someone is serious or have interest to commit soon unless they are doing?
Age?
2 rounds of phone interview then a full day of onsite.
😂
Then wait for negotiation?
Seems like, soon Blind will become Indians arrange dating/ marriage counseling app.
Don't forget the breakup counseling feature. (Mostly catering not-Indians)
Another one bites the dust
Treat your match with respect. Promise her/ him that what you discuss or what goes on between you two will stay between you two. The biggest difference between "love" and "arranged" dating is in the former you can be yourself and in the latter you need to be on egg shells because you don't know whom your dealing withv and any faux pas can lead to your entire extended family knowing about it. Also clarify expectations on timelines. If one person wants to date a year before getting engaged and another wants to meet few times and seal the deal it might be a bad choice.
For people out of state: 1. Phone , video call for 2-3 weeks 2. Involve parents to ensure the big items are in place 3. Either of you fly. Split cost of flight accommodation. / Meet in a common city somewhere in middle.
Chat/text to phone after two weeks?
Chatting is such a waste of time.
For people in different states, hows the texting coming along? I have been texting this girl for 2 weeks now. Had a long phone convo, great vibes but she never initiates the text. Am I reading too much into just 2 weeks?
Curious to know how it turned out?

Just try to understand the person whichever Means possible. There are no set of rules here. You are going to spend reminder of your life with him/her, not going to be employed by him/her. Keep it genuine and you should be fine. Don't be like my friend who asked the girl in her parents house " will you give me BJ's" and got his balls kicked.
Lmao. We need more about what happened with that bj dude. It would make for a funny movie scene 😂
Or just whip it out.
