I had a friend (Chinese) who was in a relationship with an Indian expat, fastforward a year later - they were talking about settling down. The girl was even seriously thinking of converting to his faith. Then he went home for one month and came back married.

Apparently his mother had a bride all ready waiting for him and he didn't have the heart to break his mummy's heart. My poor friend was left with a broken heart.

Are arrange marriage still the norm among Indian expats?

As much as time & technology has advanced, indians are still very much traditional at heart. Arranged marraiges are often pushed onto them by their parents & relatives.

Still, the only responsible thing to do is not to lead anyone on.

Hope your friend is healing well and send her a big hug for me on my behalf. Guess we would be considered travellers of the same path once...

Actually I have a good friend who is still single, a few friends and I are on the lookout for eligible Indian guys that we could introduce to her. So madwolfie, wanna introduce your friend? Just tell him that he will have to impress us first

Firstly...this thread is about Indian guys.
Secondly...She is Indian (local) and her family is quite conservative (makes things simple) althought I am sure she would not mind any other race since she is quite open-minded.

His mother made him choose me or his inheritance

Obviously he didn't pick me...but he wanted to hang on to me on the side. So I "borrow" a friend's fling just to make him understand that I was SO-OVER

him but I ended up marrying my alibi
