I'm a Christian and my bf is an agnostic (though he identifies himself as a Buddhist in his IC). I didn't expect myself to fall for someone of different religion, but then it happened.

Well, I could accept him coz he doesn't go to temple often, and there isn't any altar in his house (though his mum goes to temple). We talked about having kids; he's okay with me bringing them to church. Plus, he's into theology and likes to study religions, so he knows a lot about Christianity, we can openly talk about it.

I pray for him and sometimes I share with him about my faith, but I won't convert him. Faith is a matter of choice out of free will, and in Christian language, it is the work of the Holy Spirit to convict the unbelievers and bring them to Christ.

I'm not sure whether he'll be a Christian in the end, but I believe there's a time and place for what is meant to happen, to happen. All I need to do is share the gospel and my journey in faith with him, and pray for him. The rest, I'll leave it to God.

After all, God gives us the free will to choose our paths. Forcing your partner to convert for the sake of converting or gaining church membership or family approval is not what pleases God.

Jesus never forced people to convert anyway. The first few disciples made the choice to follow him when He said,  “Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” (Matthew 4:19) It was an invitation, not a command or threat ("You must follow me, if not I won't make you fishers of men.")

To Christians, the moment you tell your unbeliever partner, "You must be a Christian, if not I won't date you or marry you.", you are pushing him/ her away (and perhaps making him/her misunderstand/ hate Christianity), rather than drawing him/her nearer to Christ. While the intention to 'convert' him/her is out of your concern for your unequal yoke, aren't you sinful as well if you push him/her away from knowing Christ? That's falling into the religious trap and becoming hypocritical & legalistic like those Pharisees.

Depends on the girl. If she put God first then yes, she will normally want her partner to convert.

I have a friend who is a Christian and she told me that her partner must be a Christian. Not sure how old and how deep are you in the relationship but if you know you never convert and she continue saying that her partner must be a Christian, then my suggestion is to move and and just be friends. Don't waste time.
