So I recently moved back to my old house due to some financial issues, and there’s this girl I used to play with when we were kids. Now, she’s grown into this absolute beauty blonde hair, honey-colored eyes, pinkish skin tone, even lighter-skinned than me. I’m still wondering how I never noticed her features back then.
She’s my age and lives next door. Yesterday, while I was helping unload stuff, we made eye contact for a solid 5 seconds. It hit me like a ton of bricks I never believed in love at first sight, but now I’m its biggest preacher.
The problem is, she’s not on social media, and her family situation is complicated. Her father passed away years ago, and now her uncle takes care of the whole family. She didn’t even go to college after high school because of financial issues, so she’s very sheltered. I’m almost certain she’s a virgin (which is a big deal for me), and I think she might have admired me as a kid. I swear I could tell she got butterflies from the eye contact, but here’s where it gets tricky.
1. She’s a Hindu Brahmin girl. I’m half Brahmin from my mom’s side, but my dad is Muslim. Culturally, this is already a mess.
2. We’re neighbors, and in some twisted cultural way, that means we’re seen as “brother and sister” by the community. Who even made this rule?
3. I don’t have a job right now, and her family is conservative. They didn’t let her go to college, and I have this gut feeling they’ll marry her off ASAP because she doesn’t have a father.
I know I sound like a simp, but I’m genuinely in love with her, and I believe she’ll fall for me too if I approach her. My question is: Should I try to start something with her, knowing that it’s almost guaranteed to be a failure due to all the complications, or should I just walk away to avoid future pain? I’m seriously struggling here.
Please, I need high-IQ advice on this one. If you haven’t been in a similar situation or don’t have the brain cells to understand this, kindly don’t reply.
