Dating the Desi Ishtyle..

"Dating" is probably the most popular topic among the unmarried lot. However, one thing that you might not know is that the Art of Dating depends on which part of the world you reside in. Broadly, Dating is divided into two - desi (Indian) dating and dating in the rest of the world. Let me tell you how it works...

How Guys date in the Rest of the World

• It all starts with approaching the Girl. You meet in a night club or at a friend's party or at the office.. Offer her a drink or a helping hand and strike a conversation.
• At the end of the conversation, you ask her out for coffee or lunch. If she doesn't accept, you leave her and approach another girl. SHE PAYS FOR HER DRINK.!!
• If she does, you go out with her.. Have fun..
• After a few dates, you change your relationship status on Facebook and tag her in the post. This can be technically called sealing the tender and is done so as to stop your friends from having a go at her.

How Guys date in India

• In India too, the guy first approaches the Girl.
• Here, the term "Asking out" is non-existent. If you go to a girl in your workplace and invite her for coffee, she'll either give you a mean stare or punch you on the nose. It is very likely that she might kick you where it hurts the most.
• The best thing you can do is become friends with her (Remember to demarcate yourself so that she doesn't dump you in the Friend zone). Friendship is probably the ONLY way you can know about the girl.
• After months or years of friendship, you will be eligible to appear for the test. This is known as Proposing. Unlike in other countries where proposing refers to permission for marriage, here in India is means permission to get into a relationship or an official permission to call her your girl. This is usually accomplished by saying "I Love You".
• The answer to your proposal depends on the girl's family background, influence by friends, the guy's financial background, his looks and last but not the least his emotions/feelings.
• Even if she says a Yes, beware of her family members (especially brother) as they might hunt you down.

For the fact, in India the boys to girls ratio is roughly 100:90. This means that 1 out of every 10 boys gets nothing. In case you happen to be that person, curse your destiny.!!

So, if you were under the impression that dating a Desi girl was easy, you were absolutely wrong. In fact, getting into a relationship here is tougher than cracking the Vinci's code.
