 If he is as you say and is a "strict Jehovah's Witness" then there is absolutely no way on this earth would he look to you as more than a friend. "Strict" means dating only other witnesses and even then he'd need to be at least 16 to do that. Active Witnesses would also never date on their own but do so in a crowd. They look to everything outside of their religion as pagan anyway, even Christmas (which they say is a Pagan festival) so I wouldn't ask him, you'd only embarrass yourself. Much better you remain as you are with him.~Eve~

 I don't think he will date you because when your a Jehova's witness the only reason your allow to talk to people outside your religion is to talk about thier belief to you in hope of a convertion.

 Sadly, I think this is one combo that just won't work out. Better off just being friends.

I hate to disappoint you here, but I don't think this will work. If he is a strict Jehovah's witness, then he probably would be outcast if he dated you. Pagans and J-Witnesses are hugely different really, and I think you'll find that there are too many things that will come between you.
He's a good friend to you, and I think he'd be more useful as a friend. I don't think it will go any further.
