As we all know certain mitzvot are for certain roles,and diffrent peoples!
there are some for women, and some for men!ect....

but,
My question is:
For a gentile who is well learned and wishes to go beyond the basic moral requirements of them and hence engages in more mitzvot then the basic,(that they feel they are called to do), and yet do not wish to become a jew.Where is the line between furthering themselves as a gentile follower of HaShem and becoming a "jewish wantabe".

In otherwords;
Which mitzvot are just for jews? are any?

I never quite got that; opinions welcome!
Thank you,
Shalom,
DaTsar

Perhaps we could better start if you could describe "where" you are today in your "observance?"
