It's a cold world out there, kids grab your coats. That's one of the things that makes me see family arranged marriage in a more positive light, not talking about forced marriages. Well you might ask why am I talking about marriages when you're talking about a non-marital relationship I suppose. It's because that where will a relationship would lead to; judging from the question the person here revealed too much of herself, exposing her vulnerable self and letting herself be in his hands, this should be a very serious one. Both of the people in a relationship will comprehend the seriousness of the matter if they let both the families know, of course without letting them get too involved in it. It also will the chance for both of them to wake up and ask if it's love or just an infatuation. Finally, take things slowly.
