Why parents don’t know about boyfriend

He is not from lovely state of Kerala, India thereby making him ineligible to marry into family.

Because, seriously, I come from well respected, ancient Malayalee clan and father will accept no other.

Because I am a wooz and would rather do ANYTHING even Flavor Flav than tell my parents though boyfriend and I have been in loving 4 year relationship (sans bumps and mishaps).

But hey, boyfriend hasn’t told parents either.
We are both woozs.

We are waiting for the *ahem* kopf right moment which, according to our calculations, is in 3 months when boyfriend graduates and starts new professional job in the wonderful and high paying world of computer programming.
Because then parents will be blown away by boyfriend’s academic prowess and professional competence

Good luck.

It was hard to me to tell my parents about Stevie (he's Jewish and I'm Filipino). But they got over it - eventually.

Don't worry. Really.

tell ur dad that u don't really matter, as ur the girl child. it's ur brother that does, and it's important for him to marry a mal, and have a boy child to carry the fly name forward.

Actually, your pioneering kinda paves the way for when your brother falls for a Roman Catholic Philipino chick (This happened to my Hindi teacher's kid. Whose sibling, by the way, is married to a gorgeous(I saw wedding pix)African American).

Me thinks Roman Catholic Phillipino chicks are very fine by parents. Because hey, the Roman Catholic bit is very excellently connected to our Syrian Orthodox bit, yeh?

I think you've done some groundwork already, right? If I remember correctly, your father has met AND liked him? In a different context, of course...

And oh the difference the context makes.
