Hey aaliah! So you are in love with an Islam guy. I dont think it is really a big deal to be in love with a non-hindu man. But if he wants you to convert to Islam and all that do u think you can abide with all their rules and everything? I mean as long as he can accept you for what you are I think you can go ahead and think in a long term way. I strongly believe that you are what you are! IF you marry someone out of your nationality and religion does not convert you!(at least thats what I believe). If he is not ready to compromise in this aspect do you think that he will be able to compromise with you family and their tradition. If he really loves you then I think he should be happy with you the way you are. I think someone who totally tries to change you and your identity is not a guy worth sacrifising your identity for. Well about your parents.. I think that parents always want what is good for their kids. I mean they will not do something that will make you unhappy.. so if you can convince them that this is the guy for you then I think they will go ahead and accept him (though it may take some time!). The main problem I see in your situation is though that he is trying to change who you are. Right now you are his gal and you are not bound by anything strong to bid to his desire in every step. But once you convert and marry him I am sure that there will be several other things you will need to compromise with. Are you sure that he is going to meet you half-way in everything or will he make you compromise totally as he is doing now? Do you think that he will convert to Hinduism if thats the only thing that will save your relation? Think ten times before taking a big step. Think how you are going to handle the difference between your families. You should also think of your family and keep in mind if they are going to be hurt if you totally exlude them out of your life (I mean that in a religious way). I mean if your parents cannot celebrate occasions and the happiness it brings for them with you they might feel hurt. You mght also feel pressured when you have to follow the ways that converting to Islam will bring. I mean as long as he was happy with you for what you are it would be great BUT dont u see the fact that he is trying to change you? DONT only think about now.. think about later too. The rest is upto you! Telling your parents isnt the biggest dillema you are dealing with now as I see it. Sorry if I offended you!
