Hi guys,

I need someone to talk to about this.

As many of you out there, i have had the pressure to get married and so i joined an internet dating service. For a long time nothing much happened but then finally i thought i met someone.

At first things seemed to be going well but suddenly he stops contacting me and becomes very unreliable. I know he had things on but he had plenty of time to send a text message or email (and i am much more busy than him anyway and yet i can find the time). Also, sometimes i would see him on MSN but he wouldnt send me a message unless i sent one first (whereas before he would send me a message). So, after about 2 months, of me having to do all the contacting and him not getting back to me when he said he would, i told him, i dont think this is going to work out.

Of course, i am upset by this because i am back to square 1 and my parents are pressuring me because all my cousins are getting married and i am not.

Maybe this is an obvious question to ask, but have i been strung along?

I told him i wanted to take things slow etc, so we never did anything physical because i dont want to be used by anyone and he said he understood and that was fine. I also didnt bombard him with contact because i respect peoples space, so i am not clingy.

I just dont get how before he seemed so interested and was saying stuff like, he can imagine us getting married in the future and now he doesnt stay in simple contact.

I have seen he is back on the internet and his profile is active again. When i said "This doesnt seem to be working out", i never heard back from him...

Have i been duped by an internet player?

^-- a member of the Sangat is asking for advice and your too stuck up to answer it? Come on guy, answer the poor girl in distress!

I'm sorry to hear that _Kaur_. It's most likely that you've been played. Alot of guys are out there who at first get some sort of an unresistable attraction (sounds crazy I know). A month down the line they get bored and simply stop talking.

A number of factors attribute to this:

a) He DOESNT genuinly see you both together

b) Somewhere in the conversations you had something took a turn for the worst

c) Your typing was too slow and he had to wait for ages (.. it happens.. unlikely reason but it could be).

d) He never really took the marriage idea seriously and isnt ready for it.

e) He's just busy.

My advice would be to move on and keep your options over. Signup to a few more websites and see if you like anybody else.

Consider other methods than the internet. The internet is kind of limited and takes alot of time.

- Get your friends to reffer you (nope, it doesnt sound desperate believe me.. even if it did - so what?).

- SpeedDating. It's called DATING but all it is, is meeting 30 or so people in a room one at a time. Anybody you remotely have interest - you take there number.

I hope that helped in you coming to a conclusion.

^^koi na..tusi jiada na socho..(for poster #2)

Original poster ji i am assuming you aren't amritdhari. I really have no clue how these dating sites work but i don't think we should be trusting these sites/ people on these sites. If you are real desparate to get married then find someone in real life or just let your parents find someone for you.

You haven't written much in your post so its hard to understand your situation. If you need to talk you can send me a PM. If you think you'll be more comfortable talking to a bibi you can still PM me and i'll try to find a siani bibi(they are hard to find :s ) for you to talk to tongue.gif .

You should have faith in Guru Ji. They always do the best for us.

hmm well.. from my experience (COUGH COUGH lol) it doesn't look like he was playing you..

ACtually, we're not too sure how exactly he worded things - if they sounded ambiguous to mean as if he's really interesting, yet can easily be interpretted as not being interested at all.. well then he was stringing you along.

If you look at this through the glass of reality, you'll realise that if you told him "it can't work out" well, he won't want to stick around for too long because for him maybe you're just a "failed case" if you know what I mean (Since He's on a dating agency as well I'm assuming he's looking for someone too!)

so yeah, it's so easy to fake emotions online - hence i don't trust it.. im better of phoning someone, meeting with them etc. But in terms of dating and finding someone.. mmm im not too sure

i think its a dangerous game to be out looking for someone yourself. you could easily get taken advantage of.

If your parents are so desperate to get you married, tell them to look for you! Or maybe you can get sum bibia you you trust/resoect to help you out, or maybe other relatives/friends.

I think all parents pressurise ther kids to get married, but dont worry bout it too much.

Guest ..wut?

Ok im sorry for my first post, but I dont think you should be using dating services. You should do ardaas infront of maharaj and ask that you find a jeevan sathi that can help u in your search for akaal and then ask some chadikalaa gursikhs that are older then you and ask if they can help find a jeevan sathi. Dating services only promote things that we shouldnt be getting invovled in.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
