What does religion have to do with this relationship and would things really work out?

Question

My boyfriend is this religion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maharashtra#Religion He's a Hindu. Would that religion somehow have to do with his parents' view of dating? He said theyre against dating. So "I can't meet them" he says. Why, why?

Also he's been busy. but when he DOES see me, we're only alone. I love him so much & for that reason i'll have s*x with him. but for now i'm not ready. He really really wants to soon.

Does this whole situations seem just too fishy?

Answer 1

Sorry sweety but "You are being used for s*x!!!" or will be used strickley for s*x.  Im not clear if you are doing it or not. My advice cut bait and RUN!!  This man will never love you. And more than likely will never marry you. For all you know he might already be married or at least in a arranged marriage and will be married soon. So he is trying to get some side action.

Just the fact that he wont introduce you to his parents should be a LOUD warning bell..

Answer 2

My advice:  spare yourself a lot of grief and get out of it now.  

Answer 3

RUN!

Answer 4

I don't know what your views on religion are but that but worshiping many "gods" and false idols is incredibly sinful.  So is premarital s*x.  If you love him and he truly loves you he will do whatever he can to protect and cherish you.  If he makes excuses not to see or have a real relationship with you but he is pressuring you into something you are uncomfortable with or not ready for, you may not know him as well as you think.  Hold off a little and good luck!

Answer 5

yes

find out more information on this cult.

Answer 6

Seems fishy to me.. His parents are strict in their religion that they are against dating, but have not instilled in him that premarital s*x is wrong ? Yeah he wants his cake and to be eating it too.

Answer 7

He may be using you just to get s*x.  Watch out.

Answer 8

Yes - very fishy.

Answer 9

Hindus as I understand have arranged marriages and everything is traditionally done through the families . If he is unwilling to let you meet his parents then you are only a fling which if discreet is considered under their rules acceptable for him but not a future wife . I doubt he is serious about you .
