Thanks all for your insight, I needed that!
We last talked 11 days ago.

There were other incidents that led me to believe that she was afraid for her friends to know she is dating me.

1. She never introduced me as her bf to her friends here in US.

2. Her parents don't know that I was her bf.

3. When there was ash erruption and her flight was delayed she stayed at my place, but told her parents that she is still in her appts.

4. This is what hurt me the most while she was here. We were walking and holding hands. All of a sudden she starts taking her hand out. I asked her whats up? She told me that her hands were sweating. I said, "I don't care it does not bother me just hold my hand please", and took her hand back(I am gentle so no need to say i forced her, etc.) Few seconds later, despite me telling her its ok that it sweats she takes her hand back. Only then i realize that she saw her indian friends up ahead and did not want them to see us holding hands.

5. she left once before for 3 months and i told her then, if she leaves me again i wont be here waiting for her. She left knowing this full well. Her friend in India was telling her that she shouldn't come back so soon, or that she should give me some sort of committment before she leaves, she didnt say anything.


My family loved her and so did I, but she never once called them when she arrived there.

I am hurt, but i will get over that :)


A lot of Eastern Indians have a taboo against showing affection in public. That may be why she withdrew her hand. Also there is a very strong class (racial) system in India. If you had gotten to know her better you might have found these things out.
