I fell in love with a girl whose name is Saloni since 5 years.It was the time when I was in 8th std. and she was in 6th std.I had never even talked to her rather than looking her innocent face.I left the school after completing my 10 class in 2006 and then left my home,my school,my friends and I went to New Delhi to complete my 12th.This year I have completed my 12th and now I am at home preparing for entrance exam for engineering.  
With very confidence that you will solve my problem I have asked you this question.Plz sir.I still love her so much.

Answer
Hey Saurabh,

It's difficult to answer this question because I'm not too familiar with your culture so I'll ask you a couple of questions before giving my answer.

Propose in American cultural means to ask for the womans hand in marriage. Are you asking her to be your wife? or are you asking her out on a date?

If you are asking her to be your wife then the question is beyond me. In America we tend to ask women out on a date at least a few times before actually proposing marriage.

Let me know

thank you

Alex
