I really love to read it! I'm having problem falling in love with a Pakistani, and I'm so helpless don't know what to do. Writing my story down here, I'm hoping that maybe you or any of the Muslims stumble Actually I'm now in love with a Pak man who's in his PHD program abroad in my country. We've been dating for almost an year. He's a very devout, conservative Muslim. He even doesn't drink with the same straw with me while we're eating together (cause I would be eating something not HALAL).  As our love is becoming stronger, I found it hurts me a lot. He's keeping me secret and always puts lots of limitations whiting our date. We fight for that often, but God knows I really don't want to hurt him. I know he's been struggling very much becoz of me and can't even focus on his study, can't sleep..... What can I do? I just want a normal boyfriend, a serious and promising companion, am I wrong? I'm an Asian Christian, and willing to convert to Muslim--although he never ask me to. He thinks that our relationship is very very unacceptable for his family, and he would be disowned. He ever tried to joke to his bro and parents that maybe he'd get a girl here (my country) and get married. The response of his family is extremely negative and say "not even think of it". His family has very strong bond with each other. He talks to his family every day. I respect that. But why it's so difficult for the Pak ppl to accept a foreigner? oh, FYI, I think not even the foreigners, but all the girls that not arranged by his parents. I searched on the internet and ppl said that Pak family would never love you as they love their ppl, even if you behave like a modest Muslim women, they just never open their heart to you. My bf said that he could tell his parents about me, but I know what would happen next--I don't even want to imagine it. I want neither he breakup with his family nor me!!! so what can I do? I would make every effort for it.... Thanks for spending your time on reading this stuff, it may sound just another story again for you, but it's real in my life, and tortures both of us every day and night ....  Thank you ..

I’m an Asian Christian, and willing to convert to Muslim–although he never ask me to. He thinks that our relationship is very very unacceptable for his family, and he would be disowned. He ever tried to joke to his bro and parents that maybe he’d get a girl here (my country) and get married. The response of his family is extremely negative and say “not even think of it”. His family has very strong bond with each other. He talks to his family every day. I respect that.
