i do understand what u're talking about.....i too come from a very conservative and orthodox family background that does not even allow excessive hugging,kissing,or even touching even between own brothers and sisters after they come of age......it's needless to say about other single men.talking to them freely or mingling with them too much is looked down upon and such a girl is branded to be 'too modern'.....things ahve changed a bit now,since many of us attend universities and interaction with the opposite sex is inevitable.even then,we prefer to keep it low-key.....at least for the sake of the family.

Keep smiling!

Saggi!
