Thank you Sasank for speaking the truth. I am an Indian woman and have preferred to date white men when living in UK precisely for the reasons you have mentioned. I hope more Indians would realise this and improve their social skills without automatically assuming that just because they are men they can reach to any woman they want without first having to work on themselves.

Reflections from a White Woman on Dating An Indian Man

I understood why but it still made me angry. Angela,Its not just you who are curious about Indian men or keen to form a opinion about them. Though what the future holds for such relationships,has a big question mark. It was four years back she hails from North Carolina and was pursuing her graduation from University of Virginia. Soon the romance was in air,from bollywood movies to hollywood,to indian authors,to indian cuisines,to places in india. The tete a tete lasted for almost for two years.

We started dreaming about having a future.

I spoke to her dad also on various occasions. She is a Catholic Christian and I am a Hindu and she was adamant of me adopting her religion. I think it was the turning point. Soon she joined Department of Justice and snapped all ties with me. Long Distance Relationships hardly founds a future. Though u are in India and u have Indianized yourself a lot. I hope ur dating and meeting turns out into a beautful Relationship and u will be able to find ur Dream Indian Man. Thanks for your kind words and for taking the time to be so open and share your experience.

I agree most people judge the book by its cover. I respect all cultures and there is positive in every culture that can be gained by dating or marrying people from other culture. However, this needs a lot of patience and understand from each other, which unfortunately has low statistics in this dynamic world. I am an Indian who dated American and still love her though she left me because of cultural misunderstanding.

I know that if a white woman gives me a chance and holds my hand, she will NEVER leave me guaranteed. I just know it. I never dated one, but intend to. I told you about the ignorance around here and it makes the job more challenging.

I am a white girl dating an Indian man in NY and believe me it is not easy at all. I have been with my boyfriend for a little less than a year and he has not told his parents about me yet and he told me that she will try to sabotage our relationship if I meet her.

Yeah, that sounds about right. Also means your relationship is going nowhere perhaps. In my personal life, I am dating a woman from the next state — Kerala.

You should hear the stories that floats around her relatives thankfully, most of my close relatives are just fine with it. Angela, I am so happy to hear that you have been meeting the right Indian men, and that they do exist. Feel free to send some up to Mumbai for me. Hey there, I really enjoyed that first Sri Lanka blog you launched last week not caught up on rest yet sadly — sounded like so much fun! Thanks, I loved Sri Lanka, it is high on my list of places to return to. Still got one more blog on Colombo to come in the next week. Did you party in Colombo?

I heard it is quite rough there … fights breaking out a lot, etc.. No partying, I was travelling with my parents. I wanted to say that there are 5 guys to one woman here, so anyone who speaks of personality and being cool is full of crap. I always love reading that someone will pray for me, I find that so touching.

Good story but I thought the ending would have been happier for ya!. It will be in the mean time you are a happy person so that the hell live and let live!. Nooooo it is a happy ending in many ways. There was a typo in my earlier comment. She was jealous, she could not be the woman sitting next to this power guy.

Most of them have henpecked boring husbands at home. Most Indian woman are not racist, but yearn to the that fair lovely blonde.

Part of it is also the general attitude of women and men towards women and the West in this society. I can say this because the other day I heard a relative of mine take a dig at the West and women in particular, saying that well! The reason she blurted this out was we were watching TV and caught glimpses of women in cute little skirts. I thought they were cute but she had to offload her negativity. According to her, she did the right thing by getting married at 20 and having children while I am 34 and refusing to settle down as of yet. Deep down I do think she wants to be like me I am very liberal and independent but she did not have the chance to do so because of societal constraints.

So she gets over it by taking digs at me and the west sometimes.

If she truly accepts what is, maybe her house of cards comes tumbling down. All we can do is bless their small minds even though it can hurt at times. I fell in love with Indian men on my first trip to Indian. In US I am surrounded by them and never once even took a second look until after coming back to the US. It is really hard for me not to go gaga after them. My first experience was on Diwali. I was dressed in Sari and on an open terrace in office.

One of my colleagues was very, very good looking, as most Indian men I have had the pleasure of knowing are. He was also dressed up. We were watching the fireworks all over the city when he started to sing. Such a lovely voice, fireworks…. Nothing ever came of that except that moment, but that was all it took for me.

Since then I have had several Indian loves! I even married one!!! I did also experience this same racist behavior and evil looks there while I was in Indian. The majority of my friends are men and excuse me if I am friendly! The only thing I could really compare it to is how some black women in the US many of which are friends of mine would get so upset that their black brother was dating a white woman. I am happy to say that my inlaws are thrilled with our relationship. Some of the villagers may not be so much, but that is only perhaps because it becomes reality for them that this lone villager came to America and became successful and if he had married one of their daughters they would also be successful.

Glad you got to experience the dating scene in India and also glad you are not letting this one situation deter you. The fireworks story is sweet, one moment that stays with you is sweet. Best of luck with your marriage and kudos on winning over the in-laws! Such men are not worthy of you or any woman for that matter simply for the fact that they have no respect for women. Its not the color that matters, it takes a real man and true love above all to beat every obstacle and accept you the way your are… And for the Indian woman who ruined your evening would have had her own reasons for doing so… not that she would have known you as a divorcee with a kid or not even because you are a foreigner, but maybe simply because she knew the guy on date with you… possible Well, if your quest for finding the RIGHT MAN continues, I wish you good luck… Cheers!!!

Thanks for taking the time to comment and for your concern.
