You don't have to be called a Buddhist; you only have to be a true Buddhist within yourself.
In fact, they could have taken each other's hands and practiced walking meditation, so why not the two of you, one as a Buddhist and one as a Catholic? You are the continuation of the Buddha, and you are the continuation of God. That is only beautiful, if you can share your wisdom, your insights, and you can learn from each other and enrich yourselves. That is what I envision for the future, that we remove the barriers between different spiritual traditions, and we behave as people do in the circle of psychotherapists. They enjoy and learn from all other traditions, and I think that each tradition of psychotherapy has something to offer. It's too narrow if we only want to be faithful to one school of psychotherapy.

liz, forgive me for saying this but.... you are only 19. i remember when i was 19 -i would have been upset with someone saying that - i thought i was the most mature and informed person - now that i'm no longer 19 - i know better. you and your BF DO have a challenge ahead of you. you say you don't think in the same way and it hasn't been a problem -- teenage problems are not the same are marital ones.... for example:
where do you stand on....
spending habits
homeownership
credit cards
children - how many, discipline, religious training
death & dying (sorry it's a real thing)
family
worship services
those are only a few to start thinking about - those are the things that can and will matter. there is a large difference in your faiths. i'm really sorry to say this, but unless neither of you are strong in your faith and are willing to bend to the others - it will present some challenges.
Good luck!!!

Love is a wonderful thing. But sometimes the pressures that are added by our families regarding faith, marriage, children and all the other things that come with any long-term relationship can be a terrible burden. Who's to say that your family can't come to see past your religious differences with some time and familiarity. But I think that main thing here is TIME. You are both young enough to slow down, take a breath and take things as they come. Enjoy the time you have together now.

Cool your jets and wait. At 19 and the crazy way the world is today, you may not even like him in 2 or 3 years. See if he will learn more about your religion and you learn more about his.

your a Catholic? ermm do a bit of reading and research you´ll find out thats its a pagan cult not a christian religion. Just because you were christened doesn´t mean you have to stay in that faith forever, (in fact only baptism totally under water at an adult age counts but thats another story)

it won't be a problem for you.
it will be a problem for him, since you will likely draw him away from his faith, which is not a good thing.
