His parents are holding us back
I really really like this guy. We can talk about anything, he makes me laugh, smile, all those things. I just feel so happy whenever I'm around him or talking to him. And, I even feel happy when I'm not around him...by this I mean it's not some kind of unhealthy "I need to be next to him at all times or else I die inside" crush.
Anyway, I really want to go out with him. And I'm pretty sure he wants to go out with me too. The only problem is...his parents.
They don't let him date anyone outside of his beliefs. And I'm Catholic and he's Protestant. So we can't be together. It really hurts that the only reason we're not together is because I worship in a different way than him. It just seems like such an old-fashioned way of doing things.

Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life?
At least you aren't a pagan. I had such problems with that in high school because I was the pagan that dated a lot of the Jewish guys.
What I suggest is reminding his parents that you're still a Christian and your beliefs are based on the same principle of worshiping the one true God and living a good life. I've seen it work.
All Christian beliefs are the same at the core: believe, worship and trust God. I was raised Catholic, went to a Baptist private school and when I went to my dad's place I used to go hit a Protestant church. They're all fairly similar.
Just remind them that you're a child of God and that you wouldn't think of changing his beliefs even for a minute.
Catholic families tend to be very protective like that... It's just how they are... You should see what happens in my family when you come out as a bisexual pagan... they went through the roof... Hahahaha.

Maybe you could let his parents get to know how great you are. That may not work though. You could maybe just sneak it, but that's not always the best choice to make. Do what your hearts are telling you to do. If they say be together, then you probably should. Don't give up on love.
