Hello, I have a boyfrien that I have met on Facebook, we are planning to get married just after he get a job.. but the problem is that his all family knows about me and our story while I didn't tell anyone of my family.. my family doesn't even know that I have an account on Facebook.. I'm afraid that if I tell them now they will say no (since my boyfriend and I live and different countries) :'( I love him a lot he loves me too he's ready to run away with me and marry me in case my parents refused him :'((..
Please help me I'm sooo confused :((

You have never met this boy and spent time with him in real life?

How old are you and he?

How can you spend time together and get to know each other in real life before committing to each other?

We can meet sometime and get to know each other mre and more in real life.. but that's not the main problem , the problem is how I'm going to tell my parents about our relationship ?

Why would they be against Facebook? (Which country are you in?)

I guess that they see it like something that can distract you from your education or even your social life :/ while it's not :/
I'm from tunisia I live exactly in "sousse" and my boyfriend live in "sfax" .

I don't know what this means -- "i live exactly in "sousse" and my boyfriend live in "sfax."

Your first problem is telling them about Facebook and your account. Do they like the Internet?
