I remember how a few years back as I was taking a walk by the park and watched so many couples holding hands and embracing. I found myself thinking about the way my life had changed the past three years. Back then I remember thinking to myself "where is the girl of my dreams?" as I let out a deep sigh. It had been kind of hard for me to find her; not because I had not tried, because of my looks or anything like that. I supposed it's just been a combination of factors. Although I was born and raised in the U.S., My parents migrated from India and we had been living here in the U.S. ever since. This turned out to be one of the hard parts of finding a woman with whom I could have a serious relationship with.
I was bound by two cultures; American and my heritage, which is Indian. I had a few dates while in college, but the only thing that had accomplished was that I wanted to marry an Indian girl who shared my values, beliefs and culture. I knew it would just make it easier for us to bond since having a few things in common can help to break down the barrier you experience at the beginning of every relationship. The hardest part was each time there was a wedding within our friends and family circle, my parents would always ask me" when are you going to find yourself a nice Indian girl Ashok?" or "when are you going to get married?" as if I did not want to.
How many failed relationships had I had the past few years already? The truth was that it had been too many to keep track of. I guess it's hard when you're looking for a long term commitment and the other person is not. One of the problems I always had with Indian dating was finding other women of my culture since they are so few here in the States and so far apart.
I was looking for a real beautiful, yet sensitive Indian girl in the hopes of marrying her and creating my own family. I began to feel hopeless at times; even stopped dating. It wasn't long before I began to question myself as to whether or not the right girl was out there for me, and if she existed at all, how would I ever find her?One day one of my brothers' friends named Damian came by our house and he brought along his new beautiful bride. I was in the kitchen when I went to the living room and shook his hand and he introduced me to her. She was a beautiful Indian girl, with long black hair and dazzling hazel eyes. Her name was Aaliya and she seemed rather shy as she grabbed my hand to greet me. I wondered where Damian found such a perfect match for himself.
If I felt bad before, I now felt worse thinking about where my dream girl was at. After a while my sisters and cousins took Aaliya with them outside to get to know themselves better. It was then that I took the opportunity to ask Damian "where did you meet such a perfect Indian girl?" before he could answer I chimed in "I bet you had to go to a village in our country to get her right?" as I jokingly smiled. Damian smiled as he responded to me "No, you're like the fifth person to tell me that.
I actually feel a little awkward telling you this, but I found her here in the states, using the internet" My brother Naajy laughed thinking Damian was joking and said "come on, really Damian, what is your secret? How did you meet Aaliya and does she have any sisters or cousins" We all laughed and smiled while we drank some tea in the living room. Damian leaned closer to us and whispered, making sure the girls in the back did not hear us, and said "I met her on online. It's a website where single people, looking for serious, long term relationships meet all the time. You guys should try it"
I Had to admit that I was a little skeptical thinking Damian was making this up or playing a joke on us. I waited a few minutes more then went up to my room and logged onto my computer. I quickly searched and found the website Damian said and in a few moments I was shocked to see how many beautiful, intelligent Indian women were here looking for someone like me as I had been looking for them.
It wasn't long before I began to spend more time on the site and set my eyes and heart on this girl named Kamakshi. She was a student as well as me; except that she went to a college about 25 miles from where I lived. To say she was beautiful would be an understatement. I mean, it wasn't just the physical outward part; she was just the kind of girl I had been looking for my whole life. We had so much in common; we both loved movies, walks in the park and so on. Within a few weeks I finally met Kamakshi and although we both felt awkward at first, it wasn't long before we talked for hours.
This went on for about a 8 months until we got more serious. Now, three years later, I am sitting in my living room looking at a family picture with my brother Naajy, Damian and a few other friends. It was then that I began to realize how thankful I was to Naajy for helping me to find Kamakshi, my wife. We been married for two years now and I am the happiest I have ever been. We are both deeply in love and are planning for our first child soon.
I was real lucky to find Kamakshi since I had began to slowly lose hope in ever finding my soul mate and perfect match. I am so grateful to have someone to share my dreams, hopes and future with someone from India where single women are abundant.
If you have been desperately searching for your perfect girl, that one person to light up your heart with their smile, then don't lose hope. She is out there for you and may be waiting for you as well. It is now easy for you to find her by simply doing what I did and checking to see the list of hundreds and thousands of possible matches for you all in one place.
