Search Results: get a girl's number

I've seen this to be true of a lot of Indians I've known over the years that they tend to play their cards pretty close to the vest. They haven't generally been very open people. I'm not even talking about especially personal things, but they just won't talk about personal things. There's a certain... caginess?

Like I remember this one time I knew an indian girl who I had been talking with for about a year. So one day we were talking about what we had each done to celebrate a holiday, so she told me that she travelled to [big city]. I knew she had also gone to [big city] earlier this year (mind you, I've known this girl for a little less than a year, so that's twice in the span of a few months), so I said "you seem to travel to [big city] a lot, do you have family out there or something?" And she immediately got defensive, said she didn't go there a lot and then refused to answer the question. She then asked me for details about what I did over the holiday, which I happily provided.

I understand how my question might be seen as a little nosy, but I also kinda don't see the big deal. I've known a number of Indians who behave this way though, Chinese as well, is this a cultural thing, or am I just rubbing people the wrong way?

I know GaG will never get rid of political posts. More user generated content means more money for them. From a business perspective I see why they allow political posts.

Anyway I have been on and off this website for 12 years now. When I first got on it I specifically came to ask questions about dating and sexual topics. Questions that I was too embarrassed to ask out loud otherwise.

I remember back in 2010 there were only a minority of posts about politics and Obama. Sure young people talked about politics back then but it was like number 8 to 15 on the top 20 list of issues we worried about. It mostly considered boring and/or lesser importance.

Now it’s in the top 3 list of things people worry about no matter your age group.

I admit I have posted several political questions and polls over the years. I felt more comfortable posting here than on my social media channels. At least here I would get countervailing viewpoints. I actually invite logical and respectful debates. But that is becoming less and less common.

But again the name of the website is “Girls ask guys”. It was supposed to be about dating. We actually shortchange ourselves when we start fixating on politics.
