ah....well....That was a lot of reading. My Big Fat Greek Wedding was in my head the entire time as well. If you truely are into this girl and she has the exact same feelings for you as you do for her than I think she needs to say to her parents that at this point in time she's very interested in you, have them meet and get to know you...and tell them basically everything that she wants in life. She can't live in fear of her family her entire life. Family means a lot to people but ultimately if that is what is going to stop her from being truely happy with the guy that she loves, then she is going to grow to resent them for what they did to her. And by that point it's going to seem sooooooo not worth it cuz she's gonna be miserable with the family that she decided to live in fear of, rather than be an independent woman and tell them what she wants. Every person has the right, no matter where they are at in the world, to choose whatever religion they want to follow. Who's to say that you have to follow in your parents footsteps? Just because they choose to be muslim, doesn't mean that she has to be. That is a human right everyone has....to make up their minds for themselves. Dude I say stick with her and meet her parents if you feel that strongly about her. Ultimately it's her decision though...just don't pressure her nor forget that you are only 18 and you do have a long life ahead of you and you never know what curve ball is gonna be thrown at ya.
