I mean not to show any sign of ageism but you seem to have really no idea about what you are willing to do for just one dude.
Get a clear head and make some research about what you are getting yourself into. And make proper research!
If not then you will only end up being hurt big time and disappointed.
If you want this guy to take you seriously then treat him seriously and go and talk to him! Ask him about the Islam. Go right ahead.
Why you have to be a muslim? Why can't you practise your own religion? Dont you think the guy is tryin to control you? Muslims are known for their derogatory behavior on women. don't need to believe me... trust google. There are ample examples of that.
Don't do it. Why do you want to be with someone you have to "change" for? Even if you did convert, I doubt he would take you seriously as a Muslim and would likely catch on that you jumped on that bandwagon to impress him. It'd be worse if that caught his interest, he could perceive you as impressionable and someone people could take advantage of. Definitely not the way you want a guy you're interested in to see you.
Kid, you're going to regret falling for a guy based on their looks. Is it mainstream to like minorities these days? If you lived in some arab places like I did , it is better off to see what kind of personality they actually have. In Jeddah for example my sister was groomed a lot by this pseudo righteous guy as well as other non-muslim girls. It turned out the boy had a thing for putting up a "nice guy" persona when he had other sexual intentions once he was caught drunk and saying a lot of hideous things. Be careful
I'm black. A Minority myself
If you convert, you'll end up with a life full of sorrow! Trust me, that life with the Arab guy won't be very beautiful as you think. So, don't convert!
you can't just become a muslim for a guy, if you want to become a muslim you should believe in their religion, and be sure that you want to have the religious muslim type of lifestyle ( im not sure about what it implies,) but your parents won't let you if its just for a guy you have a crush on and you dont even love yet)
You should not convert to Islam on the basis of romantic interest, it must be because you honestly think it is the correct faith.
Nice
jesus christ. STOP PLEASE. listen to your parents. and this is coming from a muslim.
A Muslim saying jesus christ? How come?
Don't convert just to date a guy, I have plenty of friends who are dating that are different religions including muslim. If he said that he'll only be with you if you convert doesn't really like you.
Some religions like Islam and Judaism actually make you convert. Get your facts straight.
@oksurething if they are going to get married yes, I know my facts, but like i said i know plenty of muslims who doesn't make their SO convert just to be with them.
@oksurething I have friends who are married where the guy is Jewish and the woman is a Christian. I work with a couple where one is Muslim and the other a Pagan
@MysteriousDarkness funny how a child thinks he knows more than us adults.
@thechico79 Who are you calling a child
@MysteriousDarkness reread my comment
@thechico79 sorry it is late here so you know was not thinking too much.
@MysteriousDarkness yeah it's 2:06 where i'm at
@thechico79 We are in the same country
@MysteriousDarkness yup, NC here
So you're not converting for the religion, you're just doing it for a crush, I can see why your parents are against it
They shut you down because you don't have a good reason to become a Muslim
You can't just change your religion for a guy. Not the best reason. You need to know what you are getting yourself in to
Another person should not request you to change for self serving reasons. Religion is important but both and all need to tolerate each others heritage and beliefs. In time y'all can work it all out in your own way not by demand or else reasons
Why would you drastically change yourself for a guy?
You’re doing it for a guy? That’s the stupidest thing I’ve heard this whole month. I can’t.
Unless you understand and believe in Islam then it is a bad idea to convert to being a Muslim just to be with someone.
listen to your parents you don't change religion because of a guy that is a no no your under 18 so dont be getting so worked up over a guy who wants to change you i may not like the Muslim religion but if you plan to do it do it for you not him
Sigh. Wanting to convert - which is a very big decision - because of a crush? You're not even dating him. Your parents are right here.
Also, why convert for a crush? His reasoning is pathetic
If you are going to make such a big life choice, do it for yourself.
You're infatuated and making irrational decisions to be with him.
It could be argued that he could give up his religion to be with you.
Don't convert to a religion just for some guy... that is silly.
