Dear Agony Aunt,

I'm a 18 yr old girl in love with an 24 yr old guy. We met on a social networking site but havent met each other, as we both stay in different cities but in the same country. Our story is a very clichèd tale but unfortunately with a twist. We hit it off very well immediately and in less than a week became the best of buddies. We were what everybody would call inseperable. Eventually, love followed and we never realised when our feelings for each other changed from "best friends" to "something special".

Now you must be wondering whats wrong with us. As I said, there's a twist. Although we love each other, we cannot be in a relationship together and marriage is just taboo. The reason being we are from different castes. He is from a hardcore muslim family and i'm from a hardcore hindu family. So definately our parents just wont agree. Now here's the catch, he tells me although he loves me he just cant go against his parents wishes. Neither will he fight them or force them for our marriage. I'm really depressed. I seriously dont know what to do. I'm sooo addicted to this guy, I simply cannot imagine my life without him ..

Please help me

Hey Jodie thanks for your advice. I really appreciate it. The thing is he hasnt told me downright no like he wouldnt ever tell his parents about me or something .. He tells me he'll make his parents understand but wont be stubborn if his parents dont agree .. When i asked him the reason why wouldnt his parents agree ? He's like cuz you have a totally different lifestyle and my parents are very conservative .. I really dont know what to do .. The same problem is gonna arise with my folks as well cuz my dad just HATES muslim .. But i'm not gonna let that bring me down .. I really dont know what this guy wants ...

jodieleigh agony auntokay.. this guy doesn't want to fight to be with you, do you think thats a good sign? when you love someone so much you would risk anything to be with them right? he's not doing that. i gave up everything to be with the man i love and now we're engaged... ask him out straight, ask him once more is there any chance of him being with you? if he says no i think its clear what you have to do.. it may seem hard now to let go but you wont be sad forever.. hope your ok x
