Did he ask to marry you already? What are you going to do if he asks you to convert? Are you going to say no and move on, or convert to something you may not be comfortable with.

You say that he is very americanized, yes many are until you marry them then that is when the control starts, if you allow it. This is something to think about . When he sees you does he come with someone so that you two are not alone and you are saving yourselves for this marriage.?

Do you know his background and if he has ever been married or what his plans are for the future.You have to look at how he treats his mother and female relatives. if he treats them with respect then he will respect you. I have noticed that you talked about your looks and his looks, sometimes someone can be fine as wine on the outside and in the iniside the filthiest person. so beware, I hope you are not just with him for the looks so that you may have children together.

I have a question what if you marry and you have children and this man who you think is so americanized turns and says to you that he has had his fun years and now he needs to return back to his religion and he wants you and his children to become muslim, but during this time your views have changed on having your children to be muslim, whay will you do? Just something to think about ok?
