As a matchmaker deeply immersed in the South Asian dating landscape, I’ve seen firsthand the complexities of transitioning from casual dating to serious relationships. Recently, I connected with relationship coach Tanya Mitra to explore common pitfalls singles often overlook.
We discussed how a lack of relationship experience, failure to learn from past relationships, and unresolved inner conflicts can impact romantic connections. Embracing dating as a journey of self-discovery rather than a taboo can empower individuals to approach their love lives with intention and clarity.

Breaking the Silence: Domestic Violence in Our Communities and the Price of Staying Silent
The recent arrest of Sean "Diddy" Combs has brought the issue of domestic violence back into the spotlight, reminding us that abuse can exist even in the most powerful and high-profile relationships. For South Asians in America, this mirrors the struggles in our own communities, where shame and stigma often keep women trapped in toxic marriages. In this post, we explore the deep-rooted cultural pressures that fuel silence around domestic violence and discuss the urgent need for empowerment, education, and breaking the cycle of trauma. Let's create a future where love is built on respect, not control.
The Politics of Dating in the South Asian American Community: Why Values Matter More Than Labels
Politics may seem like a divisive topic, but in relationships, they reflect something much deeper—our core values.

Ignoring those differences in dating is naive—understanding how our partners' beliefs align with ours is crucial to building a future together. It's not about labels, but about shared values and navigating this complex, ever-evolving world as a united front.
