Indian Cuisine Preference

[Gustaf]

I'm currently sort of seeing an Indian girl. I think she's from Southern India. She's a vegatarian though so I don't know if her food preferences would be very representative.

Wow, I think that's the first time I've known a white guy who was 'seeing', even 'sort of', and Indian girl.  Do her parents know?  Or do you mean you just have a coffee with her between classes at the Starbucks? (though I would say that is already pretty shocking).

Haha. Her parents are in India so I doubt they would know anything, no.

And, no, I don't mean having a coffee either...the 'sort of' is more in reference to the fact that I already have an open relationship and she's leaving the country in a month so it's not anything serious.

Astounding.  Your masculine allurements must be prodigious and overwhelming!  Well worth subsequent immolation.

It's hardly astounding - I don't think my masculine allurements are anything to write home about. And I'm not sure what you mean by immolation either. Would that be me not buying prostitutes or something?

No, immolation means to be consumed in a fire - it is a common method in some cultures of dealing with daughterly errancies.

Oh, you meant it literally, I was trying to interpret it as a metaphor.

Beside the facts that she comes from the upper echelons of society where I think values are more progressive and that a white boy is probably way more acceptable than a too dark-skinned Indian (to Brahmins fairness is apparently very important), I think patriarchal societies usually punish the women rather than the men for such things so I don't feel too worried.

EDIT: I just realized that this might have been what you meant, i.e. worth it for her even if she gets burnt up afterwards. But, yeah, that wouldn't happen either.

Yes, I was formulating a pick-up line before I travel to the sub-continent - 'hey sweet stuff, my manly allurements are so prodigious and overwhelming you won't mind the inevitable subsequent immolation'.  (don't worry, I would keep it lighthearted by working my eyebrows up and down or winking broadly - perhaps both if she looks like a 'go-er')

I am starting to see why no one will sleep with you unless you pay them.

I think a more suitable line would be "sleep with me and you will not only get burnt on the outside, if you know what I mean"

A little better, but you wouldn't be getting laid either.

Better, how so?

I do get laid every once in a while, but I never used a non-ironic pickup line, so...
