Can someone PLEASE HELP ME? What should I do? I’ve broken her heart. How can I fix things? How can I make this work? How can I make her feel better?

So here’s the story from start to finish.

Two weeks ago I decided to download this language learning app where you communicate with other users.

A few days ago, I added this girl on Instagram that was from the app.

She said that she wanted to practice speaking and listening through audio recordings so I thought “fair enough”.

Turns out, we have a lot in common and we both really liked eachother.

She said she would like to visit me in my country in December.

So I thought to myself “hey fair enough”

However the one catch is I told her we couldn’t stay at my parents house and that we would have to stay somewhere else instead.

This is because of a few reasons.

1) My parents would never approve of me meeting with somebody that I met with online first.

2) My parents being the racists they are would suspect she’s just there to use me for a green card.

3) She can hardly speak English, and it already pisses my Mom off enough when latino people speaking perfect English have an accent.

So in the end it’s just a no-go, having her stay at my house

But I didn’t tell her those were the reasons though.

I told her that my parents are just very overprotective and that they’re afraid of girls breaking my heart and that they’re too afraid of letting me date anyone.

I told her the truth as well, which is that they don’t even allow my sister’s boyfriend over (my sister’s boyfriend is black by the way), and they never have in the almost two years they’d been dating.

Anyways, my Mom is always pressuring my sister to date a white guy instead so I doubt she’d approve of her other child with a hispanic girl that can’t even really speak English.

Anyway, when I told her we couldn’t meet my parents, it really broke her heart because she said she didn’t want to be excluded from the family.

She was angry, and clearly moments away from blocking me for good, but I pleaded with her to give me a chance, and so we’re going to talk again tommorow.

What should I do? How can I fix things?

The truth is, I really like her and I want to make things work but I’m just not sure how I could get my parents to accept her.

I highly suspect that my parents are racist and I would’ve avoided this situation alltogether if I knew the consequences of it, but the truth is I don’t want to break this girl’s heart and I want us to be together.

She is a genuinely good person and she doesn’t deserve all this. I’m lucky she gave me a chance, but I don’t know what to do right now is the thing.

Also, I’ve never seen my Dad stand up to my Mom before, ever. He always agrees with everything she says. My Dad might be a little racist himself (I’m not sure) but I’ve only ever heard him say racist things when he’s been around my Mom so it makes me think in the end my Dad is probably perfectly accepting, it is just my Mom is the issue.

Anyway, I don’t want to jeopardize this relationship and give up on it, because I feel its worth fighting for.

I’m just not sure what I need to do next.
