Abdullah101 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Hello my name is Abdullah I'm 22 years old and I've been dating my girlfriend for about a year now and she recently left me. The reason for leaving me was that we've been talking about getting engaged and I was down for it so was she but in our religion (Muslim) we have to talk to her dad first. Anyway I talked to my dad but he's an extremely busy person so he said give me some time I said ok and I told her not to tel her dad until my dads ready anyway about a month passed by and she didn't listen to me and told her dad and he kept waiting for a call and he never did so her dad told her to forget about me. She kind of got fed up with waiting and she left me. I made a mistake after that like a huge one and I made up a stupid lie to make her take me back. I don't want to really get into what the lie was because it was an extremely stupid and idiotic lie. And her dad found out and is adamant that she can't be with me. So we're still barley talking and I'm going to see her soon but I need to know how to I can convince her that I can fix my mistake but I'm thinking of taking her out on a beautiful night that she won't forget. But does anyone have any advice. Please help. Thank you! Link to post Share on other sites
overseas2004 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Its hard to help you if you don't tell us the lie. Also the Muslim aspect of this make it hard for most Americans to relate to you. I lived in the Middle East for a while, so I would suggest you go talk to her dad and explain your lie. Family get entangled in marriages in the Muslim world. Your American audience won't get that.

Author Abdullah101 Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Well the lie started after she lied to me and told me I already moved on and that she already found someone else and there going to come and to talk to her dad which was a lie! And she told me that after I messed up with the lie anyway I lied and told her that I was fbi and I was protecting her and her family and it was just me being desperate trying anyway to get her back! And she knows that but her family doesn't I didint expect her to say anything to her family and now her dad does not want her to get In touch with me at all! And for the Muslim part we live In Houston so there kind of a laid back family so the Muslim part is not that big In the problem. So any ideas again she's going to see me on Monday I'm thinking of renting a limo and filling it with flowers or something and having a nice romantic dinner I'm telling her let's work it out? Any ideas? Link to post Share on other sites
overseas2004 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I think that sounds nice. If she loves you, she will be happy. I still think you will need to talk to her dad soon. The FBI >>>> seriously.... You guys both sound like kids, maybe you wait a while before you get married and have kids huh? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
d0nnivain Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 That was some lie. Sorry but it was a very immature thing for you to do so I can see where her father thinks she should forget you. You are not ready for marriage if that was your solution to the problem. Talk to your own father, now not later. Get your act together. Apologize to her father & to her. Do what you have to do to propose & go from there. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
