Parents and having a boyfriend/girlfriend.

Please keep anonymous, or delete.

Okay, so I may be on the verge of having my first boyfriend. I'm Indian, and this boy is a year older and is a family friend. He is also Indian but him and I both know our parents aren't exactly the most....liberal of beings.
We decided it would be best if we didn't tell, for now, but I'm a hopeless liar and can't help but feel guilty. I imagine it'd be pretty damn hard when lying about meeting up, too!
I really like this boy though, and he says he really likes me too, but we're just scared of the way our parents would react.

I know it may seem like the ideal situation - and surely my parents would prefer I went out with someone they knew and trusted, and of the same cultural background and everything...then again, it could go the other way and they could stop contact with them altogether...

What to do?!

Anybody who's been in the same situation, or can offer any advice? :s-smilie:

Thanks...

I would just go for it. You might not want to tell your parents yet and there's nothing terrible about that! my parents are fine with me having boyfs but I often don't tell them for a while until the r'ship's got going or I think it might be serious. So why don't you just start dating, see where it goes and after a couple of months if you think it might be serious, then think about telling them?
