Hello Kelly !

Just wanted to pop in and say that 'reverting' for the sake of your boyfriend would be a bad idea.

Infact - warning from a sister . . . stay away from all muslim men who don't practice their religion and just want to date you/have a relationship. It is safe to say their intentions are not sincere/pure.

Regards,

PS: However, since you're already curious, maybe you should read about Islam, ask around about it. . . if nothing, just for knowledge's sake. :)

You are right why you should change for him when he himself is not a practicing Muslim. But what about for yourself? He probably wants you to become Muslim may be just by name, like he himself is, so probably his family and friends would not point fingers at him.
In some cases like this the wife brings her husband to become practicing and good Muslim thus deserving the reward only Allah can provide.
But I will say, its absolutely up to you but don't revert until you fully understand and build that strong foundation. But do it for yourself, if you are ready. If you just do it for him, it will not be of any benefit, but Allah knows the best.
Take care, and guard yourself, learn and teach him what he took for granted and don't live by.
May Allah grant you what is good for you, Ameen.

For Kelly,
 
First you must learn about Islam thoroughly and decide whether Islam make sense to you and you really feel it is the right religion. If you decide to revert as Muslim, you must do it for yourself and for Allah and not for a Boyfriend.
Once you understand Islam and become Muslim with full faith in Allah and wish to live your life obeying Allah, then rest assured that Allah- God allmighty will find you the a good Muslim  to get married.  It is not good for you to revert for a man who is already not a practicing Muslim.
 
Here are some sight I leave for you to start learning about Islam:

Hi dear,
 
I know how you feel perfectly, because me, myself, I was in your place few years back, but I didn't meet his family, because after 3 years of relation and getting everything from me, he just decided that his future was having no place for a Catholic. I cannot blame him, after all, because I understand that this is his culture (he was from an Arabian country, where it's more difficult to get married with a non muslim, so...), but at the same time, he destroyed lot of my dreams and hurt me in a way that nobody did before and I hope nobody will do
 
I started learning about Islam, and I am still doing even after our relation finished, because I think that we all should look for knowledge and the religion is a very important issue in the current times.
 
My suggestion is that you have to ask him to teach you what Islam is through his acts. It's very difficult to find a good Muslim and a true Muslim (sorry, I don't want to offend anyone but that's what I see daily in the Mosque, and I have been talking about it with every Muslim I know, and they agree with me), but at the same time, if you find one it's like a jewel and you most probably understand what Islam is through the knowledge of his acts.
 
Really, if he is not defending Islam, he has no right to ask you to do. These kind of people are the people who are giving a wrong thinking about Islam, you cannot ask the people to do something that you yourself are not doing.
 
Go on learning about Islam, and reading Quran, and all that, but you have to talk to him seriously about it, because his behaviour is very hypocrital (I am sorry, but that's what I think).
 
Good luck,
Patricia
