I am a 19 year old Indian guy, have not had a girlfriend before but it isn't entirely my fault. Problem is I went to a high school which only had around 300 students (maybe less), a lot of the girls already had boyfriends, most girls were Black (not Alicia Keys or Meagan Good but a lot of girls who did not look that good and had the stereotypical ghetto attitude, wouldn't disqualify dating a Black girl though), and mostly my parents said I can only date a girl when I am 18 years or older (they did not care what race).

Well I just finished my first year of college, unfortunately the high school I went to was so bad and the guidance counseling was so bad that I ended up at a local university, college student still living with parents, YAAAAYYYYY (not really). My first year of college I got pushed into a major I didn't want, came out with a 2.9 GPA.

Problem is I live in the Bible Belt and you get the picture. Though what really gets me is that I have heard of a lot of Indian girl - White guy couples down here and I have seen two or three personally but never in my life have I seen an Indian guy with a White girl or Latina, have seen them once with an Asian girl and once with a Black girl (but she was like Precious and the Indian dude actually looked good, not trying to be judgmental). I have been close in terms of getting with a girl but due to stupidity and lack of action on my behalf I blew it, got asked out by a White/Asian mixed girl and had something going on with a Persian girl but I just blew it due to what I was going through.

Now my plan is to pick my GPA up and maybe one day move to NYC or California or a more liberal open minded area. What I want to ask you Indian people on here is this, being an Indian guy (even though I am Americanized), will I still have a tough time finding love if I want to date interracial?

*I am 6"2, people tell me I am light tanned skin and have the same skin tone of a Middle Eastern or brown Hispanic person, average build but working on bulking, my parents are liberal, I am not traditional, and my accent has been described as being an Americanized accent or just a "different" accent (people say I do not have an Indian accent, whether that is good or bad I do not know, maybe you guys can shed some light on this).

also, people say Indian males like White girls but I see myself being more into Latin, mixed, and when it comes to White I am not into American but European White women

lol I seen an indian guy with a hispanic chick before...

was kind weird seeing it at 1st...kinda rare though....

I'm not one to talk since my romantic/love life is at 0%. My only chance probably at getting someone would be an arranged marriage with a girl from India.
Also, she'd probably only give me a chance for an opportunity for a green card. Otherwise, I wouldn't get a second glance from any girl.

But I do feel that we are in an uphill battle for dating non-Indian girls. I think we especially have a hard time with east asian girls, who seem to only want to date
fellow east asian men and especially white men.

I think you would have to work harder but it sure as hell is not impossible. And things change all the time, societal norms, etc. Interracial relationships of any ethnic
group were frowned upon until recently. I think things can only get better for us Indian men to date non-Indian women. Things certainly can't get worse!

The fact is Indians guys are well respected because of their culture and high class education. You just need to be more confident in yourself Rahul!

Yeah, you shouldnt have too many problems. I've seen a lot of Indian guys with white girls especially.

I don't know you and I do not pretend to know you. However the things you write about yourself and the way you write them makes me think that you are a guy who is quite insecure about himself.
First: how important is it that you are 6 ft 2? How important is that people say you are light tanned? How important is that people say you do not have an Indian accent?

Well said bro

Hate to be brutal, I think chances are you can't find a decent woman in India these days on a green card alone. You might have a chance with conservative women of the lower middle class and villages but the liberal girls are another story altogether. I have seen countless women in my college break off the 'NRI matches' set by their parents, because the American guy seemed to be living in the 1980s Bollywood era and wanted a 'traditional' (read virgin) bride or something.

As for the OP, I think the guy's problem is not being Indian, but confidence issues that he needs to work upon. Satrai put it perfectly, the guy seems to be very obsessed with how he is percieved by the people, which probably manifests in self-sabotaging behaviours.

If it makes you feel any better, I am a 5' 6" struggling scriptwriter and saxaphonist in Delhi, living a very basic life, basic education and I have no problem with women. In fact, I have found it easier with European women and the more moneyed Indian girls, who don't mind my 'finanacially unstable' status. I wouldn't consider myself strikingly good looking either, I don't look like an Italian, Greek or anything (although since I don't own a car and have to do all my work, I stay fit, which is rare for the better off guys at my age). The thing is, you don't have to be some big shot to have a chance at beautiful women, you can be in any situation you are in (except maybe homeless or slum dweller) and still find a woman who you find attractive enough to be with.

your problem is you dont know how to deal with girls, not your race. anyone who complains that they dont get girls because of their race is ignoring the fact they dont know how to interact with women properly.

read some pickup artist material. while your goal may not be getting new girls every night, the approaches, mindset and lessons learnt can be applied to long term relationships.

You need to have more confidence in yourself, girls don't like guys who can't take charge.

With that said, you are still quite young, and you'll find someone in time, don't rush
