.... that I did live on only fruits for 7 days. I have been known as a guy who can't live without food for even for 12hours. People will ask that why did I fast, the answer is a girl. Well, in our religion it is said that in "Navratra"; if we fast then we will get what we wish. Well, it has been 5 days and the result is not that good. The girl is not talking to me. same old story isn't it?

Hi sanuanu, even if you didn't get your girl (yet), I am pretty sure the fruit diet did your body some good. That is one reason to celebrate. To get your girl, I think you should do more than just fast. I don't underestimate or demean your religious beliefs, in fact, this had me really curious, intrigued and amazed at the same time. Maybe you have to do concrete moves to win your girl? I don't really know how courtship is done in your side of the planet but maybe she's just being hard-to-get. Be persistent. But if you think, she can never love you back, maybe it's time you set your sights to another girl. May your dreams come true!

Concrete moves. Well, my problem is that I am no teanager and did not have any gfs. So, sometimes I do not understand some of the signs of a girl. Only later when I think about the situation then I reallize that she was seeking me to take certain action. Ofcourse girls do not like stupid guys, do they? By the way: At first I wanted to fast for my health only but later on this thought came in my mind, so thoght 'what the problem?' I can ask it from God.

It does seem to be the same old story, but be patient, the right girl will come along when you least expect it.

The good thing is that she taught me how to live life with enjoyment

Don't torture yourself for going without foods just because of trying to entice a girl. Let nature takes its course. Believe in fate, when that girl is not fated to be your soulmate, no matter what you do, she won't respond to your noble intention.

I think you are right. Probably this girl is not meant to be mine but what is wrong in keep on trying, isn't it? Besides, I have done which was unthinkable, Living on fruits only.

So good to see you again sanuanu! Haven't we had this conversation before in the past though? I know that you have patience and only 5 days have passed so far therefore there is still hope. Why can't you speak to her first? Is that not allowed?

I am saddened to know that your heart affairs are still at the starting gate just like they were when we talked of this before. I'm sure that the reason is exactly the same as it was then - you have not yet met the girl that deserves you

Your memory is really sharp. You rememeber everything. The only worry for me is that will I be able to satisfy my wife.lol Some more thing about this girl. We have been working for 2 years in the same company. Twice I have tried to propose but both the time got the same answer, I have a bf and I am getting married in2years time but I really like this girl hence I am still after her, hoping to do impossible. :-)

Yes it has been a long time since we chatted. Well, as far as the girl is concerned, I thoght she liked me. We have been talking for more than 6 months now and in fact she made my life a better one but she has a boyfriend. That's the reason why probably seek God's favour.

Same old story indeed. Why isn't she talking to you? Have you given her a chance or something that warrants her talking to you? Five days isn't the full amount so are you going to give it two more days? Maybe you could offer her some fruit. Something to make her interested might be of help.

It sounds to me like she likes you. I would try very hard to get on with my life. See other women either as friends or girlfriens. Do other things. Say no when she asks you to do something with her. You have other plans. Someone she doesn't know that suddenly comes into your life could just do the trick.

Probably, I am not good at playing games. She always says that I am a kid. Kid in a sense that sometimes I cant make adultory decisions, like giving flying kisses and all. That is the reason why no girls take me seriously!

Either she is a confused girl or is utilizing me for something. I have tried proposing and she said no, it was a blunt no and was really rude to me that day. Thats why I started avoiding her but after two three days, she started to take interest in me. How long a guy can avoid a girl? Started falling for her again. One day I asked to give her a gift... her answer was that she has a bf and she can not take it. Besides I could see her getting jealous when I talk to other girls!

I have lived for 30 days with only rice, salt and water. However, I always got headache because of not eating good food. I think somewhere in Africa people can survive for months with only water. I've seen pictures of people who don't eat and they look like bones.

That is amazing. Hats off to you. Well, poverty is another thing. My heart goes for those who are not getting enough food for twice a day also.

I had those food because those were the days that we had no money to buy food. We could only afford rice and salt. But if I have to decide, I'd rather eat healthy foods with fruits for a healthier living.

When you fast, you too have to make sure that you accompany the fasting with prayers. you have to pray and fast to get what you want, at least that is what i think you should be doing... that is what i have learned about fasting too. :D goodluck with that

Well, I was excited when my fasting ended but now I don't think about prayers and all. Now, what matters is that I do it every year.

It seems that I am a little pupil of God who has a wish to fulfil and I am trying to please him.Who knows if he pleases then I might get my wish. But even if I not, I will accept it because even parents can not think bad about their kids, then God must be having something good for me, isnt it?

I thought fast is not eating at all or? You can live a life-time on only fruit and be very healthy and probably you will be very slim too. Unless you always only eat 1 or 2 types of fruit. You will never be 1 step forwards if you have the attitude nothing will change and it is always the same old story. Perhaps you can start talking to that girl instead of sitting and waiting and saying whole time it's the same old story?

Thanks for sharing your thouht with me. I will try to change my attitude from today onwards but it will take time, isn't it? But what do you think I should do? Ask her out for dinner or something.

I respect your religion. I've tried fasting for 5 days in the hospital after being admitted of pancreatitis. My doctor said my pancreas needs to rest and that's why I must fast but I live because I have an intravenous fluid.I believe that we can leave with fruits for 7 days because it also contains juices which could serve as a replacement for water.

I did not say that I was completly on food. I took water also. Being thirsty for more than a day will be really really difficult. For me one day without liquid was tough. I did it because I had grace of God. Without his blessing it was not possible.
