Hi Riya,
This conversion business is something foreign to people from the Dharmic (Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, sikh) faiths. You are free to worship God the way you like. If you see value in teachings of Jainism, start following their practices and start visiting their Derasaras (temple). It is possible some Jain saint can do some rituals to announce you formally that you are a Jain. Jainism is a beautiful religion and respect women. However, conversion will not help your love situation. His parents still may not accept you, even you convert.
Is he committed for your love? Do you think he may cave in from pressure from his parents and forget you? Is he working and financially independent? After marriage, do you have to live with those Jain parents?
Wow!admin wow you say Islam is anti women given a few verses but you clearly overlook in other cases it seems, the concept of of Jainism that i find particularly good is their approach to environment and ethical treatment although a bit harsh but the concept is good.

On “anti women given a few verses but you clearly overlook in other cases it seems”, explain what you found anti-women in Jainism?
Our major problem with Islam is it is very harsh on nonbelievers in Muhammad/Islam, atheist and LGBT. We cannot believe a religious book keep treating other Godly people so harshly (read bolded … https://www.interfaithshaadi.org/?p=370). No wonder why there is so much killing in the name of Allah (read http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/attacks/attacks.aspx?Yr=2016). Now find the same harsh wordings in Jain books for people of other faiths. Lets compare!

Gokusan,
There cannot be any comparison between Jainism and Islam or Lord Mahavir Swami and Muhammad. We do not say who is good or bad, but the difference is very clear.
As stated above, Muslim have killed millions, are killing every day and will kill billions in name of Allah. This is based on straight guidance from the Koran. Contrary to that, for Jains, even a thought of killing an ant is sin.
Muhammad was a worrier, looted caravans to support his wars, killed 800 Jews in 627 because he suspected them to spy on him and kept their wives and daughters, and terrorize all others. He also had 11 wives at a time and some 30+ total girls for pleasure. He married 6 year old Ayesha at 53. Now compare Mahavir Swami!!
On women, we understood that Jainism has very high respect for girls/women. You may say the same for Islam too, however explain us Koran 2:223, 2:228, 2:282, 4:3. 4:11, 4:15, 4:24, 4:34, 4:35, 24:4, 66:5. We will be waiting.

Gokusan,
Not only anti-women but also anti-human. Whole world is suffering.
