Brother, it's gonna be an uphill battle in Springfield. I am white but my best buds were Desi back in my college days (90s). They both got arranged at the end of the day. I like Springfield well enough as it was where I was mostly raised but I travel for work now and there's just objectively better options for you.

For instance, I'm in New Jersey currently with some Southies right at the end of my street running a restaurant so I'm straight killing masala dosa, veda, sambar, chole bhature, etc on the regular. Since the Google Panopticon is still mostly dumb, I got a YouTube pre-roll ad for shaadi.com shortly after my order there lol. I'm white and 43 but it's all good.

Those MSU/DU Desi honeys are locked tight: studies, family expectations, etc. They just didn't date in my experience but it's been some time ago. Things change. The Indian diaspora and Springfield cultures are individually very insular and, as such, it's tough to get them to mix but it's not impossible. Bloom where you're planted. At a minimum, you now have 3 places for a date night if you want to convert a local! That was definitely not the case 25 years ago.
