Hi there !
There's quite a lot of dating threads allready, i know, but I want this one to be a bit more concrete, as I have a few upfront questions about dating and flirting in India. Some of them a bit ignorant, forgive me. I don not have a lot of experience in chatting up beautiful Indian girls, as you don't see a lot of them in Norway. -Is it okay to offer an Indian girl a drink in a bar ? -Can I as a white guy, ask parents of a girl to arrange a date ? or will daddy chase me off his property ? -Is it ok to start talking to an Indian girl in public, I mean just chatting about all kinds of things, or would she just slap me ? OK.... As you could read, I don't know much about the Indian Love Culture... what I do know I thing or 2 about is how to chat up backpacker girls.... Here a few backpack girl chat up lines. -I collect backpacks, would you like to come home with me to view my collection ? -You're backpack just smiled at me, can I buy you two a drink ? -If you could be my backpack, I would fill you up and carry you to the summit. -Roses are red, your backpack is blue, my name is Abu... -Hey backpack, where are you taking that girl ??? Anyway, you would ask me if I have something better to do.... the answer is No.... Love to hear from you. bey ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by Midas : May 22nd, 2004 at 01:17. |

hehe funny queries midas
![]() It's okay to offer an Indian girl a drink in a bar if she is by herself/with girlfriends. Parents don't arrange dates, if a girl is dateable you'll find her in bars and clubs by herself. A plea with a conservative dad will most likely not result in you being expelled, you just may remain there forever, he'll make you a grave in his backyard lol The last one is a bit tricky, I think as far as cities go although not really acceptable they do respond, and that's like pretty cool but what do you mean by public ? |

Do report back. The number of sightings of unattached Indian women in bars is pretty small . . . |

Thanks !
That helped a lot, I thought that it would be unacceptable to by an Indian girl a drink in a bar. Do you meat a lot in Indian girls in the bars in Delhi for example ? And how do you know if they are looking for a guy, I mean to meet for a nice chat and stuff ? Do they wear western clothing ? |

Midas, I think you just need to go with your gut, once you are out there in a bar and talking to a girl. |

Indian girls at bars are either - Very open minded - Looking for action - Overseas Indians Its perfectly ok to buy them a drink/s and even go a lot further. These days they seem very interested in foreign men and even an average guy can get lucky. The only problem is they tend to get too serious and it can be quite a problem getting rid of them. It helps to make your intentions clear from the start. Again if you are only looking for a drinking companion or a chat you should do ok. Body language seems to work best with indian girls. You don't need to say too much to get what you want from them. Good Luck Bill

An Indian girl in a bar will be of the strata of society that will not likely have any cultural hangups regarding interaction with you. They are "Westernized," and won't be the retiring types you hear so much about. Which is to say, just pretend you're in New York or London when you make your pitch.
As much as a sexist cliche as this sounds, she wouldn't be in the bar in the first place if she weren't looking for some social contact with single men. This is not to say that all Indian women in bars are loose--just that their being there in the first place is already a statement about their independence. |

All the good ones are taken
![]() Bars are generally a destination after meet up rather than a source to meet up. It is rare to sight lone girls at a bar or pub (chances are more) searching for dates. Generally people arrive at bars as couples or in groups. And be careful the single ones coming there are either shrewd or belongs to the extremely liberal class. I’m telling you never never tinker with that ‘dad’ material! It’ll be a death at single shot than a love at first sight Ask at the ‘love line’, a phone in program at MTV (India version). They are specialized in all these stuffs Someone else with lot of experience said this, The probability of a young man meeting a desirable and receptive young female increases by pyramidal progression when he is already in the company of a date, his wife or a better looking and richer male friend. |

First of all,gals wont go with date,unless
you know them for sometime in ur work place or through friends. But if you forigner then chances are less . Buying a drink its ok to buy a drink if at all you find a gal alone on bar /pubs. You have more chance of meeting gals Bangalore,or Mumbai,Delhi i will say 1 %chance. Ofcourse you might come across lots of hooker ,we are talking here gals only . )Asking father permisson , forget it big No , .Our Indian parents still belive Gals should be back home before its dark, Delhi is not safety for women,its not me telling police record says. Young India dates, its not very boring life here, but poor parents dont have any idea whtz going on. Dont lose your heart,Weekends newpaper Dating advertisement are comming, minimum 1/2 pages advertisement Delhi edision also you will find,with email ids asking for like minded ppl with out any strings.I read advertisement from gals and boys. So you can advertise or you can respond if you find anyine interested. And most of the ppl seems not aiming for love or marraige,its only to be make friends. CHECK Times of India ,weekend edition. Backpacks mean i assume alone gal travelling backpacker? I dint get this question of yours,if u mean alone indain gal backpacker i then i will say its rare to find Indian gal backpack.

Midas, quite simply you will up your chances if you went to clubs where women are let in free, that's where all the student types hang out usually in pairs/groups of females. The girls I met 12 yrs ago in such places are either still single, divorced or simply put AVAILABLE
. Such women are approachable cos their male companion is usually just a friend, caution: address them in general and then work towards the female or the male companion will be mighty offended.The above is where you would meet with any success at all. Also remember that giggly teen teetotallers are hopeless for your cause, they can't stay out or return home reeking of alcohol, so can't possibly date you. |

You can still try out some of the dating and penpal sites if you have some time to kill now. Its quite normal for girls to know some one in the net and try to meet up when you are here. But hey that means you both know eachother already .....

Forget the penpal & dating site. Its too much of BS and after wasting many evenings you end up with nothing.
The best places to score Indian women (not hookers) is in clubs and at the Gym. There are also a LOT of newly married women looking for some action with no strings attached. Don't worry yourself too much..Just dress smart and treat them with respect. DO NOT ever mention or suggest possible marriage or long term relationships as this can cause unnecessary problems. IMO India is the easiest place in the world to get laid especially for Westerners. I am told its the same for NRIs too. Bill |

Yeah oldhippie I guess the sheer population makes India seemingly easy albeit in clubs, bars and the like. The farther you come from and will return to one day also makes things easier for you . Incidentally these women are also a lot more enjoyable to converse with, I mean you can kinda relate.

Well.....if I was a guy that wanted to meet a nice modern Indian girl....perhaps I'd start a conversation at one at McDonalds.
I hate to admit it...I went to McDonalds a number of times in Delhi (mostly to use the bathroom). Lots of girls in groups there chatting away...looked like college students. Not really a "pick up", but a chance to talk to ordinary girls. Maybe make a friend. But probably not much more. edited to say: Mostly to use the restroom...and to buy a cold drink. Don't want anyone to think that I was getting HOMESICK for any Big Macs!! I never go to McD. after having read Fast Food Nation! |
