There are a number of Indian ladies at my University who seem to think I’m cute and love it when I come over and talk/flirt with them. However I never went beyond that point, so I dunno if they’d be allowed to take me home or not.

Most of the parents in India have shred their conservative shield and are adaptable to such situations. With so many Indians working all over the world one is not surprised if any such thing happens. Majority accept for such marriages.

I am an Indian and If you talk about Indian, you will find that most of the people didn’t except love marriage and you told about foreign affairs. Too hard to except this.
