Shadows-shine Bottom line, and I wish I would have learned this long ago, but parents always know what is best!
Not exactly true for everyone. In your case, if you'd like to think so, then sure. Why not. But as for myself, I don't think that statement applies to my parents, for reasons I don't intend to go into on a public forum.
I would encourage you not to have a casual dating relationship with this guy, but to continue to develop your friendship.
If the only reason he wants to 'convert' would be because that's the only way to have a further relationship with you, then those circumstances tend to leave questions as to whether he is truly connected to his new faith, or if it's a sham and he was just going through the motions while your relationship lasts.
'Curse-of-the-Pheonix' is correct. Listen to your parents in most cases, not necessarily all.

Well I am not going to argue about how bad parents are. In view of what God says, that we should honor our mother and father, then that needs to be obeyed. I have always been of the impression now that I am married and am a parent myself, that my parent's really did have my best interests in mind when they told what to do and what not to do. Though we may not agree with every thing they do or say, we still need to obey them.

You can tickle me pink, orange, red, or blue, but not grey
In Corinthians (I think, I could be wrong), Paul says to not be yolked with Unbelievers "for what fellowship does righteousness have with unrighteousnesses and light with darkness?" (might be slightly paraphrased, sorry about that. : ( ). Also I have heard some stories where a person has said to their lover "I'll be a Christian", but it's not sincere and then there are problems in the marriage mostly because the unbeliever just isn't comfortable/is annoyed with the faith. Listen to your parents because they know what they are talking about. You may however develop a friendship with the guy and through that try leading him to Christ. Thewayofthemaster.com is a great starter tool for talking to people about Christ. Also, a tip that I've heard really helps, view your relationship as a three person relationship with Jesus at the center. ^_^

Now I see others are going over the "parents know best" issue, and for the most part they do. You should obey, respect, honor, and please your parents. Here is the exception though, if they tell you to do something that is against the Lord, his word, or something that you KNOW for sure will very much harm you, then just say "I am a Christian and I can't do that. I'm sorry. I love you and will do anything else that you ask of me, but not that. I'm sorry."
Because grey will not do.
