Dating an Indian Man: It Can Work
I’ve seen a lot of Indian guys, like my brother, who started dating an American girl. He was very serious about her. He married her. They have two kids today. They’ve been married for almost 20 years now.
Dating an Indian Man: When It Doesn’t Work
There is also the case where some Indian guys will date American women, or non-Indians, and over time they realize that they really do want to marry someone from their own background.
Then they break up with them, date someone else and marry an Indian woman.
Dating an Indian Man? Evaluate Importance of Culture
It’s a good idea to make sure that it is not of some deep-seated importance to marry someone from your own background.
It’s the same thing. Get to know the family. Get to know what their expectations and values are. You will get a sense of it.
His mom might be putting a lot of pressure on him to marry an Indian girl and you’re non-Indian. That could go either way. That way, at least you know what you’re in for.
You know what you’re up against. You make the decision which way you think it’s going to go. You have to make a decision for yourself.
