Complicated relationship!

Im dating a Pakistani , I'm Puerto Rican . We started all of this just being friends to have a good time and chill , it been almost a year together and i fell in love , I don't really know if he is... Since he says that he doesn't have a heart. We share everything we do everything together , we dont have the title of girlfriend/boyfriend but we act like a couple everything works perfect between us. PROBLEM he has tell me that we dont have a future together because his traditions and religion... Is hard sometimes i dont know what to do , for the world im just his friend i have to hide everything and it doesn't feel to good. But i do it cuz my feelings are strong... And i have faith that something will happen and we can actually be together...
