Dating a Religious Girl?

you would need to talk to her upfront about both of your beliefs and make sure your both okay with it, then go for it.

 

This is the type of relationship that should just be a mutual convenience thing and never too serious. If you both are cool with that, then go for it. You must remain who you are no matter what. She should respect you for that and maybe one day she will start to see your point of view, or vice versa.

 

Just make this clear to her.

Plenty of fish in the sea my friend, keep looking for someone who shares your core values, or you will be in world of hurt, and wondering why!

 

now that's funny. I don't care who you are!

 

My fiance is protestant and I'm a catholic. It can be done, it just depends on each of your priorities. If religion is a huge part of her life, it start to get in the way and drive you apart. Thinking long term, a wedding and the meeting of the families is probably the most severe case of the whole religion thing coming to head. If she's OK with you being agnostic then the dating thing shouldn't be a big deal but if it goes further than that, you'd better talk about it sooner rather than later. If you're just looking to date her though, go for it!

 

I came across the same situation 42+ years ago. It has worked out fine for us. It all depends on how you two work out the differences.

 

Has the girl you are interested in shared her beliefs with you? If she did what drew you away from her beliefs?

 

What a melting pot we live in, so many ways of life (cultural diversity), beliefs and religions. Its my experience that if you present yourself as the person you are rather then trying to morph into someone you’re not she’ll either except you in (no pun intended) or turn your away. In other words if you like her ask her out, build a friendship with her, get to know each other and see where it goes. If you don't at least try you will never know what could have been if you hadn’t given it a shot.

My wife and I were very different people when we met, but we both pursued each other simply because we both wanted to. Sure things got in the way early on because certain opinions or feeling may not align, but this is no different then the indifferences you have with a best friend. If it’s truly meant to be it will happen and you will both grow together. And if you’re really lucky you’ll build a relationship such as I have with my wife, which is darn near perfect.

Go for it and don't let her religion/belief stand in the way! We all only have one life to live and as you get older you start to realize how truly short it is.

 

You stated you are agnostic/atheist. Which means you dont really have to much to do with religion(s). You probably do not talk about it much at all with anyone.

She on the other hand is pretty hardcore about Christianity you say. Christians can be a weird group. They seem to be into it more than most (Catholics, Protestants, etc) Every Christian I have ever met gets over the top with how they try and spread the word of god and it can get extremely tiresome very quickly(at least to me). She will more than likely always be talking about it or worse, trying to convert you over which will undoubtedly wear on you to no end. You need to really think on how much this girl means to you before you put yourself through that. Or just give it a shot and if it doesnt work out you can always chalk it up as a life experience.

If your that into her give it a shot, but I wouldnt go into it thinking she would be the one, IMO, but be prepared to start going to church at the least.

I was living with my cousin one time and his recently converted ex wife came over and started preaching to me, she left and came back 15 minutes later with a bible and asked me to take it and read it. I told her the only thing I would do with it was prop up the bed that I broke banging out a French chic last night. She left immediately (thats how I deal with the preachers...just sayin)

Good luck buddy, you'll need it

 

Thread lightly dude....

 

I would go for the girl. You never know what could happen.

 

Oh god

Oh god

Oh god

OH GOD

OH GOD

Do you really want him in bed with you?

 

rofl

 

Religious girls are the best in bed.

 

^^^This.
I am Christian and I have friends at church who are married with agnostics or athiests. For some it work, and for others not, but it always creates some level of stress. She wants to go to church on Sunday and you want to go hang out somewhere...Her friends will have different interests than your friends...etc.
You might be a great guy and respect her etc. but there will always be issues that cannot be resolved, unless you truelly get converted and join her .

 

Tough. Have you talked to her about it? If she accepts your belief, you should accept hers and agree that she does her thing and you do yours.

I don't go to church but if I found a girl that was devoted to it, I would probably go to church with her mainly just for the bread and wine. It would keep her happy.

 

Just ask her how you would spend a weekend together...I like to ride motorcycles on Sunday mornings, not sit in room and be told I am going to hell...

 

DEFENITELY depends on the type of person she is. When I was 19 I dated a 23yo I'm a christian and she was athiest before we started dating we talked about it, we got along really well and it was an actual discussion of both of us sharing our own side, it wasn't an argument. We never talked about it again, it wasn't a problem. If she's going to turn it into a problem, just walk away because if you two have different beliefs and she has a problem with that then It's just going to cause problems down the road.
