Alvena,
Best thing you could have done is indeed tell the man that your parents were finding a rishta and if anybody was asking you for marriage, that you were honest and told him the facts outright. This builds up trust between the partners and thus increases the love between you.
I find it quite strange that you felt your parents wouldn't allow the marriage if you liked him? Maybe you may not have liked him in the first place. It is wrong that Pakistani girls do this to guys who are totally in love with the girl. Be honest.
I still believe that if you truly loved him, your parents will see that and allow it. I have seen a Kashmiri marry a south Indian and it seems to have worked so you can control your destiny I feel
. It's not too late- if you want to, get in touch and tell your parents. Nothing worse than people coming for your hand in marriage and then you are really not interested- unfair on you, your parents and the people that come to you thinking they have a chance of marriage.
