Hello, and thank you for your question.

Now, I’m not one to say that either love or technology is easy. Quite the opposite actually. But I must say that if I was born, raised and single in India, technology would be the best thing happening to me since home delivery service. The days of letting your parents look through their black books in hope for some friends giving birth to the perfect son an appropriate amount of years ago and under the correct pattern of stars, are over. Hundreds of dating sites are popping up with search engines making sure there will be no temptation of men and women with the wrong education level, star sign or even caste if you wish to fill in that box. Viola! A whole page with Libras of my own sort.

Even the parents can advertise their sons and daughters in newspapers, regional or national depending on were you want them to end up.

I met a man on the train to Goa who was on his way to meet his wife. He’d been living in the states for the last seven years and they met on the internet when he realized how difficult it would be to find a good Indian girl in Iowa. Who was also an Aquarius. After one week of chatting including the crucial first time using a webcam, three phone calls, and two phone calls between the parents, later- the deal was closed.

Dating sites in Sweden might not lead up to forever lasting golden shining love that often, but then again we categorize our prince charmings after categories impossible to check, measure or get rock hard proof in. How many forest walks will he really want to take? Will he still be a “baby-person” at two o’clock when it´s time to change diapers? No, there is really no need to even divide those baby- persons from the “I-like-to-live-free-persons” or the hockey lovers from the footballers. But when it comes to India it’s a totally different story. After all, once a Libra, always a Libra.
