In July of 2007, I went to India and actually met some prospective matches. I said yes to one of them and started to be a hopeless romantic; I started to count my chickens even before I saw the eggs.
She said NO 3 days before I left back for the USA. I was mad and had a big fight with my father. Me being the guy who wants things as of yesterday and never having being told "NO" made me even angrier. I did not approve of her telling me at the last moment.
My dad said her reasons were family-based. My answer was she has to live with me and me with her, and with no one else (read: relatives).
In this fight I told my parents never to bring up a match again with me. I guess i was afraid of rejection.
Thanks for sharing that. I don't blame you for what you had to do. Marriage is between one man and one woman not with relatives.
