Boston Girl,it is my apology if i knowingly or unknowingly hurt you...see.. You already started getting lots of reaction which hurt you and your relationship...So What I was trying to convey is: 1) You are the one who should be a person to decide on such a matter... 2) If you love him,go and dial the number and say yes for his propossal(Your parents will understand you later on...) And Sajha is very good sources for lots of other issues but I don't think this thread will help you to answer your querries in this matter...It is matter of your heart and i understand you are genius and mature enough to take decision... Do not get confused with lots of inputs here... yeh two brains are better than one but it is not true always...No other people can represent your heart and feelings,you are the one who should decide.. Good luck
