Guys.... I am an Indian..2 yrs ago...i became friends with a girl in Pakistan through Yahoo Messenger...we instantly hit off...became very good friends and would chat all night...then she gave me her phone number so whenever one of us wz not online and wanted to talk to the other....v jus called ...last year she proposed her love to me...everything was going good...until her dad found about me by checking her mobile...now she says she cannot talk to me but still loves me... What do i do? Its a matter of different countries n religion...should i wait for her? I am so much in love with her that i just cannot think of anyone else.... Has anyone of you experienced the same?

I too had a similier experience 12 years ago, but we were firm enough to handle all the toughest situations, so we could made it by God's grace. When you believe in something 100% definitely you get it for 100% sure.So goahead to battle the situations strong heartedly.

I suppose it depends on how hard both of you are willing to try to make it work. My last long distance relationship lasted about a year and then failed miserably. I swore I would never do it again but I am in one again now. We've decided we're both going to move to somewhere new, not my current location or his, and start new lives together. If you really love her, and she really loves you? Waiting will be worth it.

Long distance relationship does happen. But in your case I live in the caribbean and I know that culture of Pakistan. So you who live in India and know that you are rival of Pakistan why will you want to encourage this relationship. You know that in both your culture you are already married to someone else from a tender age. Especially that girl in Pakistan. Maybe she is already engage and that is the reason her father is against it. I think it is best you keep her as a friend and nothing more. If you are in love with her try and overcome it. Also are you sure it is her father and not her husband who see it. I met a guy in a chatroom and we started talking he has my number and I has his. But I found out that he is a liar. It is not everything one should believe when it comes to the internet and mobile phone. Try and overcome the heartache. All the best.

Ohh My God....you got it all wrong dear....India and Pakistan share the same culture...we are just divided by international boundaries... Encouraging a relationship with someone in Pakistan may be difficult for me....but it will definitly send a mesage of love and peace to my fellow countrymen... And i think you have been watching a lot of Bollywood movies....child marriage is now heard of in rural areas only...definitly not a case here....i know its her father....she cant be married....I dont know if she has another reason....but this certainly is not ... Anyway thnxx for replying...take care !

Yes, they do work and it is worth it. My boyfriend and i started off as a long- distance relationship. We were four hours away from each other. The most we'd'd get to visit one another was probably two times a month. It was very had! We lasted this way for about 2 years. Then i decided i needed to move away from my living place. So you see, long -distance relationship can work out. As long as the two of you determined to make it work, it will. It is difficult, sometimes you might just want to end it because it hurts so much being away from one another, but they really can work out.
