non-muslim marrying muslim men

You have known each other for seven years, has he proposed a dowry, has he taken you to a mosque so that you two will have counseling until the day you are to get married ? Now if he hasn't done any of this then I would wait longer. If you do not want to become muslim don't ,because you will just feel very uncomfortable because you part took of something just to please someone. and if you find out he is not who you think he is you may be devastated for a while.

Remember love doesn't force you into things that you are not comfortable with because how about next if wants to do another thing are you going to keep stepping aside so that he is happy and you are not. If you were happy you wouldn't have to ask this question, you would know what is best for you and your future.

May God be with you and your decisions.

Ps. think about it if it was the other way around would he do it for you.
