- - If your story isn't published on our website, try to be desi-er next time!
My parents say I am not allowed to date until I'm married. MLID.
Wah! You are a true desi (6177) - Really? Desi? Go check yourself. (300)

I told my non Indian friends that, and they were like "They want you to cheat on your husband!?"

haha story of my life. and I agree with krazydip. but one thing I hate is how limited we are to who we want to date here in America if we want a future. As a Hindu Indian, I can only marry a Hindu Indian. That limits by options by far here in America.

Oh my gosh I know right? Well I'ma Muslimg girl and my religion says I can only marry a Muslim guy. There is only one I could maybe see me marrying. Oh and did i say I like a Hindu guy. Yup life just keeps on giving me problems. Anyways I understand your pain. I sincerely hope that you do find a Hindu woman that fits you and makes you happy. Good Luck!

this is why desi kids date behind their parents backs and then if the parents find out they get all upset.
