Dating a Persian

Submitted by Victoria (Canada), Apr 28, 2010 at 13:47

Hi everyone, I need an advice please!! I am dating this Persian guy it's been many months now and he is muslim but not practicing his religion. He said he doesn't mind that I am christian and converting to Islam would be my own personnal decision. BUT thing is I can't go to his place yet because of his mother, she is very religious and wouldn't accept the fact that I am not a muslim, that's what I think. I don't see what other other reasons why he can't bring me to his home.

When we talk about it he says to me " well she would have no choice but to accept it " " I decide who I want to date, not her decision ".

When we are together, we rarely talk about the religion thing, But I feel deep down inside that the religion thing is in fact A BIG ISSUE. I don't know what to think.
