Default Seeking neighbours daughter hand in marriage

Ok peeps,

I dont know what is happening but i am losing myself from the reality, this all happened two months ago!

I was leaving my home that day, then all of a sudden right in front of our house across the road there was this girl, she looked 20 something! my eyes just stopped and starring at her!!! she was so pretty..!

eversince i am always dreaming her as my wife, i tried to communicate with her but i am not having the courage to tell her what i feel of her, i am afraid of her response

no atleast i know that I can live but just hearing her hello and good morning and her happy morning smile!!! each day i cant wait to wake up at 8.00am because i know she comes out at this time and only this time i can have a glimpse of her...! to keep me alive.


i have really thought to make her mine. I have only one option!

that is I should send my Mom and grandmom or my family to her House to meet her parents and ask their Daughters Hand in Marriage!!!

This is normally we do if we like a girl and seek her hand in marriage, But this Case is very different Because this Girl is a British!


Cultural Differences! I need your guys opinions, What do you think??

Nooo Cass, don't do that if she's British, it may well freak her out! Different if she's a local.

As she's a neighbour, try and get to know her, when you see her each morning say hello (don't wait for her to do so), don't come across as desperate and try and start a conversation with her (as if she works or is a student...). Hopefully you can arrange to build up to ask her to meet for a coffee, or if you both work close-by meet for lunch and take it from there. Do not tell her of your intentions, you might not like her when you get to know her better!

Keep us informed!!

Zannie, i know what you mean but isnt this technique is for british guys to get british girls?


my current problem is that my mom does not speak english, i am trying to teach her few words "Son Marry Daughter" as soon she is better in this, i will send her to their house to speak to her parents.

after that when she will know that she try to talk to me about it? What do you think?

(princess shakes head and makes Cas sit on her knee)

Let me give you a tale in cultural differences - now, sit on my knee.

Ask what you want from this relationship because this girl is British and you are muslim (im assuming)

As a British westernised girl, it is being unreasonable for you to expect her to convert to your culture.

It is equally unreasonable for her to expect you to convert to a western culture.

Being in a mixed marriage myself, my non practising muslim husband and I, are both westerners and have no desire to change each other.

I wear what I like, and he accepts me for this.

If you can accept this girl for who and what she is with no plans to convert her to your religion and culture, then fine.

But it takes a big man to admit that he will be happy watching his non muslim wife/girlfriend carrying on her western way of life.

You can get off my knee now

Speak soon (big hug)

Sam

Just get her drunk and tell her you have a Porsche.

That technique seems to work on 90% of the British women in Dubai.
