He's right and you will save yourself some trouble by respecting that. If he is that committed to his religion he knows he cannot get involved with someone who does not understand or agree with his devotion. If you are not religious, why would you want to be with someone who is? Lots of people convert in order to gain the relationship, but if the conversion is not real it will be apparent soon enough. Religious belief is one of the main things that couples should have in common for a successful relationship.

Think about it this way, If this guy is willing to decline getting romantically involved with somebody he is already attracted to because of his faith, then that faith must be very important to him. So even if you or somebody else convince him to get involved with you anyways, he will always feel guilty. This will eat at him and eventually will become an issue. Im not saying that people of differing worldviews or faiths can't be together, but keep in mind that couples like that are truly the exception and not the rule. Its just one more thing that can make a relationship harder then it already is. Sorry this wasn't the answer you wanted to hear, But if you truly care about the guy, then the last thing you want to do is get him to betray his own convictions.

He is trying to do you a favor. He knows he won't give up his religion for you. You don't share his religion. So even if you did get together to date he knows it can't "go" anywhere. He is trying to skip the pain of dating, falling in love, and knowing he will choose his religion over you. Don't torture yourself move on.

You're not going to win. If you manage to woo him somehow, then he will have abandoned his faith. In the end, you'll both lose. Let's put a more constructive twist on this. What is it about this guy that you really like? Have you considered that maybe what you like about him is a byproduct of his faith? If that's the case, then you should examine the faith for yourself; Don't do it for him or even the possibility of dating him. Maybe God is trying to tell you something through the example of this young man you admire.

There are two ways: - you wait until he changes his religion or his mind - you convert to his religion I would not do either, but that's just me.

Find another guy that has his qualities and doesn't insist their s/o be of the same religion. That is ridiculous. I refuse to date anybody who doesn't believe in Santa Clause!

You could always convert. But why would you want someone like that anyway? Blegh...
