Assalamu alaikom,
I think you mean at least "hijab" head covering (not niqab which covers the face too)..... why should your girlfriend wear hijab if she is not a muslim? Also, whether she is or is not a muslim, I must advise that no casual relationships are allowed in Islam. May Allah guide us to the Straight Path.

Salaam akhi,
Slow down. The color of your skin is irrelevant when you are a Muslim. Someone posted today a good article about how the hijab should be used as a statement of attitude (belief) rather than fashion. You might want to browse through it.
In my opinion, it is best for you to get married first, let her learn Islam second, let her wear a hijab/niqab third. Change doesn't happen over night, people gradually change. Perhaps modest, loose and long sleeves shirts are good baby steps.
May Allah swt make things easier for you brother

Salaam,
Firstly, you need to change your profile from Christian to Muslim if you have converted. Secondly, your "girlfriend" is not Muslim so asking her to dress accordingly seems a bit like putting the cart before the horse. As you know, having a girlfriend is not allowed in Islam so you need to square that situation immediately.
It would probably be best of you focus on your own deen and how to improve it before trying to get another person to conform to the religious requirements. Send this female to a mosque and into the companiy of some sisters for all her questions.

May peace be with you and your girlfriend,
Although I am not yet fully converted into the muslim religion I do believe that you should not force her to wear the Hijab like what asalamu alikum had said give her the copy of the "Holy Qu'ran" and that will give her a chance to fully understand this beautiful religion and why girls cover themselves. I must tell you it is not going to be easy because I myself am trying to convert into the muslim religion and I had my fiance of whom I love very very much tell me each and every day "You should convert to Islam learn about it" that is what my fiance had always said to me all the time and I told him this one day and he soon started to get the picture and this is what i said to him, "HONEY I LOVE YOU, I REALLY DO AND I HAVE TOLD YOU THAT I AM LEARNING ABOUT THE MUSLIM RELIGION AND I WANT TO DO THIS FOR MYSELF AND NOT HAVE SOMEONE FORCING ME INTO SOMETHING THAT I MAY NOT LIKE." Although it is not going to be easy for her or for me as well let her find out for herself encourage but do not force her into doing something that she may not even love and let her see how you pray.
take care and i hope that this will give you some faith and may peace be with you and your girlfriend.

Assalamu alaikom brother,
Please tell your friend to read qur'an with an open heart, to listen to adhan with an open heart and to learn about the history of Islam and see what she thinks. I think when you look into Islam with good intentions, you cannot help but find the amazing beauty of Islam and how the way Muslims worship Allah is a very special worship. Every time we do wudhu before prayer, it is a spiritual and physical ablution as we literally wash away our sins and any negativity accumulated on our person. A real Muslim's compassion for his neighbour, in the way of our Prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him, is quite remarkable. Once someone is sure that this is but a small journey of life and we must prepare for the Hereafter, I cannot think of a better way to do it than completely submitting to the Almighty and living a dignified yet humble life of worship. I wish you both the very best, Insha Allah. Be patient and may the light of Allah, subhana wa ta'ala, guide you.

i agree, the skin is uninfluential: im white also, and when i was young i was blonde, (now my hairs are white grey) but this not stop me in any way and im respected from other brothers and i respect them.
We are Muslim
this enough, we live under Allah (SAW).
About the hijab im not the one to reply, i know very few about hijabs, others, maybe sisters that know better these things will help you.

All I can say is that it took me 17 years after converting to wear hijab. I am very happy that I do now but it was something I had to figure out for myself, with the help of Allah. No-one ever asked me to wear hijab and I questioned the necessity for many years. I still believe there are probably many Muslim sisters who have great faith and do not wear hijab and others with little faith that do. I feel very comfortable in hijab and it reminds me constantly of my place in worshipping Allah, but it is not, in my opinion, something to be forced on anyone. It is up to the individual... same goes for niqab.
