Long distance Relationship - Why Not to Date an Indian? - Part 1
Sunday, March 10th, 2013
India is the second most populated nation in the world and 50% of the population is below 35 year which increases the probability of finding a date for a long distance relationship. India is one of the fastest developing nations in the world with a very strong economy, stable government. The people there follow diverse cultures and traditions that make India a complex mix of people who live in complete harmony. Wow!! It would be very interesting to date an Indian is what we think, right? Well don’t, read to know why.
The art of living is the culture there. India has multiple religions and religious beliefs. Most of the families live here as a joint family. There is a hierarchy that is strictly followed in all societies. Family values are very important. India is a patriarchal society where parents or the elders in the house decide who their child should marry. This aspect is drilled into the brain right from childhood that parents will choose their life partner as they are the best judge of what is best for the child. Yes, an adult in India remains a child and the parents keeps monitoring the daughter’s life till she gets married (after which her husband does) and the son’s life till they are alive. Marriages are thought to be for a life time and divorce is looked down upon. It is a social stigma which gets a bad name for the family and ill-repute to the girl who is always blamed for a broken marriage as she is the one who has the courage to walk out of the relationship.
Arranged marriage is a tradition in India though love marriages have become quite common in metros cities. There seems to be a slight change in attitude in bigger cities but not in the smaller cities as yet. A long distance relationship just does not fit into the psyche of the Indians. You fall in love with the one you marry. There is love after marriage and not love before marriage. This is one of the major psychological barriers which make it difficult to develop a long distance relationship with an Indian.

Tuesday, February 5th, 2013
With ever changing Google algorithm, not only are online marketers getting sleepless nights but also it is ruining the dating life of aspiring long distance relationship experiences of singles. Google search has set a benchmark when anything on the internet needs to be searched. In fact Google search engine has changed the definition of search for the internet users. Nobody will say ‘search for’ but it is always ‘Google it’. The dramatic effect that Google search has on our minds cannot be put in words. It’s simply an enigma!

Google has changed its algorithms which ranks a page differently. When one ‘Google’s’ for anything, the search results that come up are of the local pages that get ranked on top. Whether you are searching for a product or online dating sites, the website that has the local dating singles gets listed on top places of Google Search Engine results.

Google search has confined the world literally to the city. It is normal human tendency that the person will at the most look/surf only in the first three pages. The links that have higher ranking automatically get hit. When looking for a product, you can easily find the product right in your city or vicinity. If looking for a date, you can find the same close to you. This changed algorithm of Google search has its advantages as you can find the product/person closer to home. In the process, Google has almost alienated people by distancing the web pages/websites of the world by ranking them much lower. Of course Google strives to improve the user experience but this will definitely kill long distance relationships.
Basics to Date Someone from Different Religions – Relationship Advice
Thursday, August 9th, 2012
There are sites like Yahoo Answers and Quora.com giving opportunities for singles and couples to express their views and asking questions about their relationship tangles where others can help them with their views and opinions.
One recent question that grabs the attention was that a girl from USA went to Turkey for a holiday and fell in love with a team member of the tour organizer from Thomas Cook after a few dates. That girl decided to stay with that guy in Turkey. There was no problem at first as everything seemed fine until the parent of the boy did not approve of their relationship as it was against their cultural belief. The parents insisted that they need to get married if they wanted to continue to stay together. Both wanted to marry each other but that girl was not ready as she did not feel that it was the right time.
Here are some of the common issues dating couples face –
1. This is not the right time to get married
2. Is he/she the right person to married
3. How long we should one date before taking this decision
Thankfully with this couple there was only one question they had to answer. The girl needed to understand that respect for the religious belief of the boy was important. If she was thinking about her career than she also has to understand that the world is not going to end after getting married.
She can also go for an alternative option of not staying together until they get married which also makes their life easy. Staying away would not have harmed their relationship.
Comment on this question and share your views on what the couple should do as not to hamper their relationship and also take into account the differences in the cultural and religious beliefs.

Long Distance Relationship Works on Free Dating Websites… How to find its love?
Monday, April 16th, 2012
Singles always face the dilemma at the start of any relationship that it is true love or just an attraction which is common when you see beauty. Free dating websites gives you an opportunity to create long distance relationships and it becomes harder to know the person when you only talk over the phone or do online chat to stay connected.
Here are few tips to check that the relationship you are is in fact love or something else:
1. At the initial stage when free dating website is the only channel of communication you need to go through the messages to find that are they online for you or a messaging template which is common when singles contact at first. Look for something similar to what you have in your profile like interests or in the about me section.
2. If you have moved to the next level of communication and use mobile phones or text messages to stay connected, few things would help you find the depth of your relationship like how often you talk or share messages. This does not mean that you spend hours on the phone daily or send messages every hour. Even a single phone call a week is okay. Also try to find out that the one you find on free dating websites also call you rather than only you making the effort to show your interest in keeping the relationship going strong.
Free dating websites and technology has made communication affordable and instant in forming long distance relationship. Share your view on long distance relationships in our comments section.
