Complicated! The guy sounds like he has issues of some sort and is maybe scared of commitment?
From your description I can't see the two of you being just friends. There's obviously too much emotion and attraction for that.
Relationships can be very difficult, but if it's meant to be I'm still romantic enough to believe it will work out. In the meantime I think you just have to try to relax and enjoy the time you spend together. Good luck!
I'm sorry to have missed all these entries. But life gets in way.
I am a Hindu, and I have many Muslims friends. Yes, you're right that Muslims are muslims by birth. They don't need to baptized (I'm not sure this is the right word!) into any religion.
Ideally, religion actually should not bother a relation as long as two people respect each other, but Muslims(or Hindus for that matter) are pretty traditional people. As in we have traditions seeped into us. There might be things which we don't even notice that others find strange. When and if you're going to be together, you have to keep this in mind. There will be changes to your lifestyle, there will be clashes of outlook-- nothing unsumountable, but still a compromise is a compromise. One needs to be mentally prepared for these changes.
Even at my age I can relate to your feelings. In relationships I am generally the one who does the running, the chasing the caring. Sadly I have learned many people are too self absorbed to really appreciate another person and are quite happy to let others always make the first move. Only recently I decided to refrain from contacting someone who I feel always takes and rarely gives. I have heard nothing from this person since and that doesn't surprise me, but I have enough pride now to realise it will be no great loss.
I think you are a giver too, but I think you should leave things and then see how often he contacts you. If you're happy to be just friends then fine, but don't let him mess with your head or have him think he has you wrapped around his little finger.
As for religion, well that is a cause of great debates and problems on a massive scale, let alone an individual relationship. It's good you brought it out in the open, though it doesn't seem to be of great importance to him. Keep your mind and heart open and your prayers gentle.
Nothing wrong with hugs and physical closeness at all if you're comfortable with it and have feelings for the guy. Takes me back to a long, long time ago.
Strangely enough I just read a blog suggesting asking for guidance today. Say 'please show me the way,' then be open to answers in whatever form they arrive.
Sounds like you're both a bit nervous, but time and more dates will hopefully help you relax and enjoy your developing relationship.
