I am: 30 years old - from Lebanon AND my friend is: 38 - from UK. And we do have different religion but we do like each other. But He wants to jump to a physical relation without really improving other sides in that relation like our love & friendship ….
I tried to stop this relation but it is not working will I am really afraid that he will pull me to x and that is not allowed in our family.
What to do I know he have no problem for it and he is putting too much effort on that “does not seems respecting much our traditions”

All right, your question isn't very easy to understand, but you're 30. If he is pressuring you to do things you don't want to do and doesn't respect your religion, break things off. This isn't high school anymore, and we don't have to act like it is. I'm 31 and just learned this fact of life last year. You are under no obligation to continue being "friends" with someone that doesn't respect you. You are still young and will find someone who does respect you. Move on.

A person who doesn't respect your thoughts and opinions, is not worth keeping. I suggest you have an open and frank discussion on the seriousness of this matter with your friend and ask him to make a choice between respecting your traditions and thoughts or moving along separately from you.

you two could be of the same religion be so similar it would be harder to find things that are different about you and this guy would still be pushing for the x.
i think you need to just come out and say flat out plain and simple this is what i want. this is how i feel. and then if the guy does not adjust his x with some ice he is a guy you should get rid of and find a different one .

You have to do what you think is right.
You are dealing with cultural as well as religious differences and that won't be easy to overcome. He probably doesn't intend to be disrespectful, and in his world he isn't. So you shouldn't take it that way. You also shouldn't do things that you are not OK with. You need to talk to him. He might have a problem with it and leave (I would) but that is just a sign that it wasn't going to work anyhow.

You're both 10 years too old to be asking this question, in another 10 years you will have 'missed the boat' completely and be wishing you could ask this question.

no means no, honey, and if you don't think you have enough of a basis for a real relationship with him to have sex, don't do it--without the love and friendship, sex is just an act, and will leave you feeling empty and used--don't let him pressure you into it

He wants to get laid. You might too, but you also want to be in a good relationship.
So the answer is simple. Give him the boot and move on.

Dump him, you will never have a successful relationship, if it starts out with so much conflict. Find someone with similar beliefs,

If he doesn’t respect your traditions, he is not respecting you. It’s just hat simple. You should find somebody who will respect you and your traditions.
