hi, just thought i'd say that me and my cousin were in the same situation, although our family still doesn't know that we are in a relationship, and its been going on for 3 months now. good luck with your relationship.

we have now decided 2 have a committed relationship with each other but 2 keep it secret for now, until we decide what step is best to take next. no one decides who they fall in love with it just happens, we just wish we could be open and share our happiness with our family. thanks 4 all your replies it means alot.

honestly if you love him go for it just be sure he feels the same way about you because it wont be easy people dont like things that are different.

anoms agony auntwhy dont you tell your mother that you think he likes you and you dont know what to do, just to see how she reacts, im sure your not breaking the law in uk so you just have to see what the moral standpoint of your family is, but if you get a bad reaction you might have to keep it long distance and under wraps, other than that i dont know what else you can do to convince your family its the right decision, but gudluk anyway

you have doubts - so follow your instinct - you will need to be tough...

I think you should move on knowing there is someone you are close to.

its tough and hard - but for each other and your parents don't.
