About Melissa Burton (a.k.a Bee) Expertise I can help you with anything you need to know about interracial dating. I myself have been in many relationship with different races. I have also experienced when your parents are not accepting of who you want to date. So if you ever need advice feel free to ask me.
Experience I have dated many guys of various races,cultures and religions.I have also helped many of my friends who had dated different races. Also I've been in different high school and college related organizations.
Thanks for taking the time to look this over…Not sure this is the right place to ask...but I'll give it a shot.
I am a 25 year old caucasian male from the US. I have become really good friends with a 24 year old woman from Bangalore, India, of whom I have known for about 12 months.
It was not up until about 3 months ago that we started talking to each other on a regular/daily basis. Prior to that, we knew of each other, but despite working in the same building, we were always either on different schedules or just too busy to talk. Well, I’ll skip the details and just say that a situation arose where we needed to talk (work related problems). Since then, we've progressed to talking quite a bit (3-5 hrs/day on average; usually very late at night, and usually online). Our conversations generally go without any pauses, so we never run out of things to discuss, which is amazing considering how much I talk to her.
We appear to treat each other differently now than our other friends, in the sense that we tell each other stuff that we don’t tell them. Furthermore, we both like to playfully joke about one another…she likes to crack jokes about me in particular. And for the record, we have been to a handful of movies together (generally with a few friends), but always sat next to each other. I had to leave the country in June for work related issues (will be returning in August), yet we still maintain the online discussions on a daily basis.
To sum it up…we get along great! So, I figure anyone who wants to talk to me for that long and about the stuff we discuss has to be, at the very least, somewhat interested right – I hope? But, I always get (what I think) are mixed signals. For instance, she has mentioned in the past about how the culture in India is very strict etc etc etc and how things are supposed to play out (that is she cant find the right guy, her parents will…that kind of stuff). On the other hand, there was a conversation I was having with a friend of mine about people we knew we were married/engaged. Well, it got back to her that we had no clue about here ‘status’ and she sought me out online one day and told me she had no boyfriend/husband in India or here. My friend indicated to me that was a sure fire sign she liked me…? I was not so sure…
Frankly, I have liked a lot of girls in the past…but this one is different. There is something about her that just makes me feel different. Yet, I am hesitant to flat out ask her how she feels due to the fact that 1) we work at the same place (which could become awkward if I was wrong) and 2) the absolute worst thing that could happen is me asking her how she feels makes things weird, thus damaging this incredible friendship we're forged.
I figured now would be the time to ask for outsider’s opinions, as some of my friends have started to pick up on it and realized that I do like this girl quite a bit…
So, with all my rambling, my basic question is…what’s the deal? Are we GOOD friends, or could it be possible she likes me, as I do her?
Thanks again!

Answer Hey Matt
Yes she likes you, I am pretty sure about this. Again a girl who talks to you that much and discusses intimate things with you likes you. Also if she didn't like you she wouldn't want to sit next to you in the movies. I have some guy friends who I talk with a lot and who I'm close with but I don't try to get myself physically close with them too much. I want them to understand we are just friends. But if this girl sits next to you a lot then she doesn't mind being too close to you. Also her telling you she didn't have a boyfriend is a big sign she likes you. If she didn't like you then she wouldn't care about giving you that information. Anyways you should tell her how you feel and ask her how she feels cause really she most likely likes you. Also life is too short, just get out there and ask her. You may never have this chance again and it's worth it to ask. Anyways I'm pretty positive she likes you so ask her how she feels!
