I've known this girl for about 5 months. She is 1.5 yrs elder to me. I am currently 25yrs old. We are good friends, and hang out on most of the weekends. I really like her. But, I am not so sure, what she feels about me. Her parents are trying to get her married and she has been speaking to some guy (whose contact was given to her by her mother). I am traveling to Japan for one year and I don't know how do I tell her, that I want her for the rest of my life. I am scared that when I come back, she will already be married. I can't stand that.
I am also scared, if I ask her out and she says no, I'll be shattered.
Please help!!! I can't stop thinking about her.
Additional info: We are from different communities (She is from West Bengal and I am from UP, but both are currently working in Bangalore. I stay with my family and she stays in a PG). Our families are extremely conservative.
Sorry for sounding so confused. But that is the current state of my mind. :-(
