No one else mentioned it, so I think it is important to note, if only so that people don't become confused...

There is no such thing as boyfriend or girlfriend in Islam. There is no pre-marital relationship between non-related males and females, so this concept of boyfriend/girlfriend is not allowed.

Islam allows and recommends marriage, but does not allow dating and boyfriend/girlfriend relationships. Those kind of relationships ultimately lead to sin.

So anyway, your friend should know that what he is doing is not correct according to Islam. If you are serious, and you want to test his seriousness, you should ask him to marry you. If not, then you shouldn't really keep in contact with him, as ultimately it will lead to more harm than good.

Off topic I know, but I just wanted to throw that in there...
