Neha & Raj: When opposites attract!

The story of Neha and Raj goes without saying that opposites do in fact attract. Being two different people with their own individual personalities, they found their special someone in each other. It all started when Raj’s friend urged him to try Aisle. “My friend created my profile because I’ve been single for way too long”, recalls Raj. Neha’s profile caught Raj’s interest because he felt like her profile was the first profile he came across which was genuine and was clear about what she wanted. Seeing that her profile was utterly honest and that she was someone who spoke from her heart made him send her an invite. Neha who also decided to give Aisle a shot on her cousin’s recommendation was looking for someone humble and honest. She was fascinated by Raj as his profile was mysterious and she got curious to know who the person behind the initials ‘R’ was.

As they both prefer phone calls over texting, they spent a lot of time talking to each other and getting to know each other. After almost two weeks of constant phone calls, they finally decided that it was time for them to meet. Seeing that they lived in nearing cities was the icing on the cake. It all started when Raj drove down to Surat to meet Neha for their first date where they spent two days together. They were inseparable for the entirety of Raj’s visit. They did everything from cooking for each other to going out on a dinner date and discovered everything that they hadn’t already learned about each other on the phone. Talking about what they love the most about each other, Neha says, “I’ve never seen someone so caring, someone who puts me above everything. He’s so genuine and does every gesture with his whole heart without the intention of impressing me. What more could a girl want? “To this, Raj adds,” I was like a very old bottle of wine who was bottled up somewhere in a dark room for many years and she opened me up in every aspect and she taught me how to live and enjoy life.“

When asked if there was a moment or incident where she realized Raj was the one, Neha says “He knows how to take care of a woman and doesn’t take her for granted. He respects my interests, opinions, and my career just as much as his.” Raj explains, “She is very kind and gives her heart and soul into everything and everyone around her but she’s also very opinionated and doesn’t shy away from saying what she feels.” Having gone through an unpleasant past experience before, both Neha and Raj were clear about what they were looking for. Having a clear perception about how your past was, how your present is, and what your expectations are for the future is quintessential. Taking baby steps to know each other completely helps strengthen a relationship. “Loving someone is a continuous process. It’s an ‘ing’ form “says Neha. Talking about their strengthening relationship, Neha and Raj both make time for each other despite their busy schedules. Neha adds “In this 21st Century, marriage is nothing which can keep you tied up; it’s your love and emotions that keep you together”.

Neha and Raj both are in the prime of their respective careers and are happy with each other’s company. Raj says “Every day is special and she makes me so comfortable.” They are quite content with where they are and believe in taking their journey one step at a time.
