Traditionally, someone who wants to convert is pushed away three times. I think by rabbis. But anyway, so I took a shot at being the first poster here.
You don’t need to convince me or prove yourself. You are welcome.
Btw I have heard different explanations for why the potential convert is pushed away three times.
One belief is that if he/she has dormant Jewish soul, then that nudging back awakens it and only a Jewish neshamah would still go through with it in the end.
