Search Results: showing a girl your not interested

Let suppose you meet a lovely person who came from a culture where people tend to stick/marry within their own race and going outside that they could be killed/disowned or ostracized from their family, community.

You meet a young girl/guy and you both fall for each other. They show interest but sometimes they take days to respond to some text messages and other times they do it right away. This is your first warning sign but you brush it off on them being busy so you don't bring it up.
When you try to hold their hand they pull away and don't like showing any form of affection but when they are by your place or somewhere no one can see it's the opposite. You ask them what's the deal and why they are so withdrawn and they eventual confess.

They tell you that they are scared of who is watching them because they come from a culture where dating outsiders is frowned upon and if her relatives/friends caught her showing affection for you they would be in serious trouble and possibly killed/disowned. They ask if you understand and hope you can still continue seeing them because they like you.

Would you pursue someone knowing that your relationship will always have to be dirty little secret?
