On 14th feb he gave me a gift. and i returned it back to him. i felt like i had to stop leading him on cause i dont date *if i dont have a future with him why should i? and i know i dont. this wont last. he is a suni muslim and i a shia. so whats the point? i wont marry him so why should i date* so i returned the gift and now he is really upset and mad at me. i can udnerstand but i dont want to lose him. I still really like him. and i wish he owuld give me a chnace to explain. he isnt. and in front of ppl he acts like we are ok behind we arent. and i dont know what to do. i really like him but whats the point? im so confused. please help!

In fact the whole Shia/Sunni schism is considered haram by many scholars as Islam should never be divided.
Many muslims refuse to even identify themselves as being either Shia or Sunni and say simply "I am Muslim" when asked for what affiliation they reply again, "I am Muslim not Shia or Sunni or Sufi."
Perhaps if both of your parents are closed minded then marriage would be difficult but not impossible you shouldn't really rule him out simply because of an arbitrary split in Islam. If he wants to marry you and you felt the same way I am sure your parents would eventually approve with some misgivings because after all at least you would be marrying a Muslim.

If you love the guy and really dont wanna loose him...you'll be together no matter what anyone says. That is love. Afterall....'love is the closest thing we got to magic." So if anyone...says its wrong to be with him (example: parents, friends..ex.) Tell them to not WORRY ABOUT IT!! Because if you are ment to be together. Its obvious!! You two "click!" so tell him you love him. Invite him somewhere. Somewhere where you to can be alone. Tell him the problems. Explain to him that love is somethingg that cant be avoided. Make it WORK!! Use your brain!! [ MaRii's advice column | Ask MaRii A Question ]

Secondly maybe you should not flirt and get so personal with him because it's only natural that he will like you.You should really find a way to explain your opinion to him if he doesn't listen at least you tried and won't have any guilt.
