    No offense intended, but I think that this kinda stuff is abominably stupid. Why allow one little belief to ruin your chance at happiness? I mean, you pray to different Gods, so what? You can still obviously be friends, why not be lovers? If you can accept each other for who you are, in spite of your different beliefs, then what is so wrong with it? It's not like your respective Gods don't want you to be happy, or anything...

    So for those who dont understand (me!), what's the issue? What's the challenges? What happens if you date him?

      Basically religion is my only dealbreaker and its the same for him. Its like dating someone who doesnt ever want to Have kids when its the most important thing for you. Ultimately i know what i want and that is to raise a muslim family. We've has a discussion about dating outside the religion like a year ago when we were just friends so i know he feels the same way. Also, in his letter he made it pretty clear that it would never work between us because of this, i believe he wrote three large paragraphs about just that

      Thanks for the response. So there's nothing that says you can't do it, other than your own choice? Would family and friends approve?

      No problem, Im happy to answer any questions! Id probably start world war three if i told my mum, but then again, she only wants me to date someone from our country (somalia) and her biggest fear is that I'll bring home some swedish guy (I live in sweden). To me it really doesnt matter where he's from and i honestly think ill end up with a swedish convert or perhaps some guy from the middle east anyway. So pleasing my mum isnt my biggest issue, but yeah she wouldnt make this all more easy on me. My friends are really supportive and they just want whats best for me. They wish we could end up together cause they see how much i like him.

      My religion doesnt really allow me to date him either and that really bothered me at first until I asked myself if it would change anything for me. After much thinking I realized it wouldnt. I wouldnt even want to marry a muslim man if he wasnt a practicing muslim man, that's how much it matters to me. If i didnt care about the issues we would face eventually i probably i'd probably tell him about my feelings so we could just figure it out together. But I KNOW that this isnt what I want so trying to work something out would just waste both our times, not to mention the drama that would come of out of it.

      Also, I have to point out that this is the first time i've ever been in love so there's a big part of me that keeps saying that this is just a phase that'll pass and that I shouldn't make a big deal about my feelings. But I cant know for sure, and thats one of the major issues here.
