These 2 sites have plenty of resources from the fathers. I recommend you take a look how they interprete scripture.

I (19M) have been doing one-to-one bible study with a Protestant girl (20F) for the past few weeks. She is basically teaching me as she knows a lot more about the bible.

She takes bible verses out of context and uses them to say that Protestantism is right. I'm not well versed in the bible, so sometimes they make me doubt my Catholic beliefs and on one occassion I did (very briefly) think about converting.

For example, she could ask a question and I could answer with a Catholic answer. And then she could say, "how can you say that??? This is God's word. It literally says in the verse....." and I don't have a reply back a lot of the time. I find that she always has the last word in the disagreements as I don't know much about the bible and Catholic doctrine. She listens to and shows interest in my Catholic beliefs but frequently tries to find fault with them. She really does focus more on our differences as opposed to what we have similar and when I pointed this out, she implied that Catholics aren't real Christians. The feeling is that she's trying to convert me but when I asked her what her end goal of the bible study was, she didn't mention conversion. She did mention once that she sees me as her project/mission (or something along those lines, I don't remember the wording).

Some of the stuff we do is beneficial and helpful I think, but a lot of it is stuff mentioned above.

She does show genuine interest in my Catholic beliefs and frequently asks me to tell her more and she types out my answers. She does seem to respect my beliefs so I am very conflicted on this.

I know she sounds like a prick from the description I gave above but she is not hostile at all and is very nice and civil. She called me "a good natured boy" and said she sees a lot of potential in me.

I'm worried this might be a near occasion of sin for me. But I don't think I will leave Catholicism as it's the church Christ founded.

My question is: do I need to put a stop to this bible study or should I talk my concerns over with her? Should I outright ask her if she's trying to convert me? I really like her and she is a really nice person. I don't want to lose her as a friend. I will feel so guilty if I end this after all the hours of preparation and meetings she's put into this. It's kind of like saying to her "you've been wasting your time". I genuinely like meeting her as there isn't really anyone else I can talk to about Christianity. None of my family are practicing Christians.

One half of me is saying end the bible study and the other half is saying continue it but I feel like this side is only saying that for the friendship and because I'm attracted to her and not for a religious reason.

I've been having these concerns since the bible study started but I want to make a decision on it now.

Thanks everyone for your answers and I'm sorry for using a swear word in my post.

I'm thinking of telling her later today that I don't want to do bible study with her anymore. I really want to stay friends with her though. Is this ok or should I end all contact?
