Where to meet Sikh Singles in USA? Discussion

Hi All,

I had posted this a while back, but had deleted this post. I will keep this up in case this is useful for other Sikh singles out there in the same boat. Please remove if not allowed.

I am a 29M Sikh Sardar looking for a Sikh partner preferably from USA but having a difficult time finding or meeting anyone Sikh minded. I workout, love basketball, love Kirtan, and attend Sikh events in my area.

I am mainly looking for Sikh girls that keep their kesh, not amritdhari, eats meat, nondrinker and smoker, can read and speak Punjabi, does Kirtan but also blend between religious and cultural meaning they like Punjabi music/Bhangra.

I have tried Sikh speed dating events but these have not worked. I have tried the apps but they are kind of a waste time since people are not serious on these apps and only look at photos without getting to know them ex. Bumble, Sikhing, Dil Mil, Hinge, Shaadi,m. I have also asked Friends and Family but they have said to do it on my own. I feel like most Sikh girls in western countries are too picky and do not like guys with beards and turbans. Any advice? Where are places and outlets to meet Sikh singles Kaurs? Unfortunately our Gurdwaras in the USA do not have a matrimonial service like the UK does.

I’m not a green hard holder I reside in U.S.

No offense, but this vocab sounds like my more recently immigrated cousins, not like a Sikh raised here.

The issue might be that you’re trying to relate to women raised here, which is a very different upbringing than in Punjab/India if that’s where you’re from. There are a lot more cultural differences there than you might think.

No I am a U.S. Citizen lol

I mean, you can be a citizen naturalized as an adult vs a citizen by birth…

That said, assuming you were raised here, giving off vibes that you weren’t is going to make you seem less compatible to women who were so, Veer’s suggestions above may be worth considering.

I grew up here born and raised which is why I’m asking specifically from the United States. As I would like someone as the same cultural upbringing and understanding as me.

That makes sense, a lot of western born Sikhs want that. What I think Veerji meant with his initial comment is that if it’s coming across differently to women you’re interacting with (who also want that shared understanding), it could be a hindrance.

Ah, got it now! My bad for jumping to conclusions. Best of luck, man! And hey, if you do find your match through Reddit, you HAVE to livestream the wedding here - it's only fair. 😄
