Dating a Religious Girl?

Could be true

^This

 

If you look at it from a practical POV...

what if she was into boats & boating. and she made it clear that boating was a large part of her life. but you did not like boats...hated the water and couldn not swim.

would you persue a relationship with this young lady?

I submit, you only would if you were interested in changing your feelings toward boats and the water/boating lifestyle.


Same goes for her Christian faith. She has made it clear that her faith is a large part of her life and unless you are interested in changing your feelings toward Christianity...you may want to look elsewhere.

Recreational companionship and spirtual compatibility are at the core of a lasting relationship.

Good luck to you.

 

i had the same issue once, didnt work out. but if you tell her "make me a sandwich" and she doesnt argue... then it might just work out....

 

This is the only thing that matters.

Both of you need to be brutally honest about what you want and what you require of the other person. If you both just want a fling, the details aren't as important. If you want the possibility of a future with her, and she feels the same way about you, then get it all out in the open early on, before you have time to get attached to each other.

Neither of you is likely to change your beliefs. If that's a deal breaker for either of you, walk way now.

 

I have and so has my wife. I am not really religous myself, although my wifes family is seven day adventist. She is very religous. She want me to go to church with her, but she knows when I am ready I may, but she understands I have my reasons. I just respect her man. She loves me because I can be a crazy fuck, which makes her happy.

I already had to jump the hurdle of being the only white boy in her entire family (she is latin) who speaks very little spanish.

Religion is not what makes the relationship to me and her.

Just talk about it with her, explain how you feel, and if she cannot accept it, then it will not work.

Good luck man

 

Labeling you as ignorant certainly wasn't my intent. Instead, I was just trying to be bluntly honest about the huge differences involved, spelling out only some of the pitfalls to think about. I thought that was what you were seeking. My apologies.

 

sounds like you've never been to the right church. i trend to avoid those. churches are like shoes...there's a million of them, but not all are a good fit.

 

I say don't make the mistakes I made many, many times over when I was that age. Wish I had it all to live over, knowing what I know now.

If any girl shows a bit of interest in you and you also like her, you go with it until you find out a real reason otherwise.

 

go for it..heck she may not even be interested in you. we assuming things?

Been there done that was great but she slowly lost her acceptance of my lack of religion

 

It most likely will work for a few, then she'll attempt to convert you. Take you to church, etc. Then if you go, she'll have numerous people talking to you and you won't wanna go anymore. This will result in a possible rift in the relationship which depending on how the differences go, will result in a split.

I know numerous religious girls, I won't even waste my time on them because some disagreement regarding religion is bound to cause a rift in the relationship.

Save yourself the heartache, go with someone you know you can get along with on all levels.

 

WWJD....

 

Let her wash his feet, and raise her brother from the dead.

 

I think it's a situation where you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Why not take her out on a date and see how it goes? If she talks about God every 5 minutes then don't go out again.

 

^^^this^^^. i was fortunate/intelligent enough to realize the importance of picking a serious girlfriend whom could envision life/marriage with. broke-up with the then current GF to court my present wife, as i realized she was vastly superior (lol,even she asked me why i broke up with "Mary") you are young Colton, and the question begs asking-------"what are you looking for ? if merely dating and fun......do just that p.s...........where's babytruck?..............

 

Just do it man, go with it and be open minded - it might be the best decision you've made.

Get to know her and maybe you'll see why she believes what she believes instead of just trying to ignore one of the biggest parts of her life.

Relationships are give and take, right from the beginning. If you won't try to understand her relationship with God, then she's not going to try to understand why you want a 3" lift and 33's.
