I’m curious to learn, what do Desi girls (particularly here in US) look for in desi guys? What are some good qualities that you look for? And what are some of the off putting behavior/qualities?

(Desi M here if it’s any context)

Qualities -
1. Don’t fake an accent
2. Don’t pretend to be cool, be yourself, that’s cooler
3. Don’t be judgemental
4. Know how to take care of yourself
5. Don’t be the one that ditches the girl after getting into a relationship because mama said so or papa said so or char log kya kahenge. Have your own mind. Don’t be a man baby.

These are the qualities that I (american desi) look for. If any of the above statements demonstrates your personality, that’s off putting.

F American desi here and I agree with D1! One more thing to add and speaking from experience, please don’t bend over backwards for your girl. Just be yourself and don’t be a try hard. My Indian born ex would literally do and buy anything for me. It wasn’t necessarily out of love, I think it was moreso to try and keep me . As everyone knows, those superficial things never last!

In my opinion one of the worse things you could hear from someone when you are dating is ‘I usually don’t talk to someone like you’. It makes it seem like you are just settling for that person.

I feel like I am very naive and cannot read between the lines, so I can’t tell if someone is trying to fuck me over or not. This leads me to be extremely skeptical of others’ intentions, and makes me less confident that I can influence others, and in general really erodes my self-confidence. Does anyone else feel similarly? If so, how have you dealt with it?
