Umm. I read your post and see so many red flags I don't know where to start...

Sounds like a smooth operator you've got there. stringing you along with mystery and promises, kind of a role reversal thing- like playing hard to get to pique your interest, you know?

I hate to say it, but he sounds like he could be a radical, and 'the right time' might be a different kind of right time than you are imagining.
PLEASE do not convert to Islam for him. Please do not get caught up in this myysterious attraction scam. Remove yourself and htink logically. protect yourself. He may be paranoid for a good reason (doesnt trust anyone-- why is that??)

Talk to your friends, family, anyone who cares about you and knows you. Tell them this story and see how they react. Get the support you need to pull away from this fantasy, it is very likely nothing like the hard reality you will get tangled up in, and by the time you want to get out, it will be too late.
