<human>: So I'm in college, and throughout the year I've developed a strong friendship with this wonderful guy (who I will refer to as H.) from South Asia. He's brilliant and has the social skills of a rock - think Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind - but I care so much for him. He's delightfully irreverent and witty and I finally went straight up to him a few nights ago and told him I was interested in him.

H. said he reciprocated, stating enigmatically "if there is anyone I would break the rules for, it would be you." I did not go further that night since I knew how reserved he was and how shy I was (I have never thought romantically of anyone before). But last night, put off by the distance he was keeping, I asked H. if he was physically attracted to me.

H. told me he would be ashamed if that were the case - that he considers physical desire degrading to the regard he holds for me. He was raised in a very conservative Muslim family and he has resigned himself to an eventual, unhappy arranged marriage (no betrothal - just hypothetical), and claims he does this not out of lack of interest in me, but out of loyalty to his family. I tried to explain my POV, that physical attraction is a good and natural progression of a deep-seated mental connection, and that it is nothing to be ashamed of. H. understood me, and was upset when I admitted my disappointment and told him to forget I ever had feelings for him, since nothing could be done. He will not allow himself to desire me. H. is intellgent and insightful, and it saddens me that he cannot see past these constraints.

We speak very frankly with each other; communication is not an issue. I cannot help desiring him physically, and I sense that he would too if he allowed himself to. Is there anything to be done?

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: Mutual feelings. Guy doesn't want to get physical out of loyalty to his ultra-conservative Muslim family. Any way to change his mind?
